The Thanksgiving Day is a national american celebration. It originates long time ago. If I`m not mistaken, When the first people started began to settle the land of America, they didn`t have any food and probably they would deie because of hunger. If not the indians, who gave them food. It is assumed that the first food that people got from them was turkey, corn, pumpkin and maple syrup. In our days people in America still celebrate Thanksgiving day, mentally thank the God and that indians and eat turkey as a traditional meal on this day.
День Благодарения - национальный американский праздник. Он берёт начало с давних пор. Если я не ошибаюсь, когда первые колонии стали заселять Америку, у них совсем не было еды и, возможно, они бы умерли от голода. Если бы не индейцы, которые дали им еду. Принято считать, что первая еда, которую получили люди - это индейка, кукуруза, тыква и кленовый сироп. В наши дни люди в Америке до сих пор празднуют День Благодарения, мысленно воздают благодарность Богу и тем индейцам и едят индейку в качестве традиционного блюда в этот день.
My timetable changes much when I have vacations. The main thing that changes is that I do not have classes, and usually on holidays the out-of-school sections also give children a break. So I wake up much later, than usually – about 8.30 a.m. I have breakfast watching TV and eating very slowly. Than I can call a friend and go to the cinema – on vacations cinemas always offer very cheap tickets in the mornings or in the midday. After cinema - about 1 p.m. - my friends and I usually spend few hours together walking in the park or going to a café, or a bookstore. As my parents are working, I do not have to be home to some exact time for dinner, but about 3 p.m. I usually feel I have to eat something. Sometimes we go to visit each other, and in such days we play videogames or table games, or spend time in front of the computer. Also on vacations I’ve got time to read what I like, not only what I need for school. Sometimes my parents give me some tasks, so I help them. Also I can visit my grandparents and even stay overnight. On vacations we have dinner at 7 p.m., as usual, but I go to bed much, much later - about midnight.
