    Thanksgiving

    I- Thanksgiving. Read the text and answer the questions.

    Thanksgiving (or Thanksgiving Day) is a holiday that is celebrated both in Canada and in the
    U.S.A. It has been a holiday in many places in Canada since 1957 and in all of the American
    states since 1863. In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October, while in the
    U.S. it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. No one is sure exactly when the
    first Thanksgiving was celebrated, but many Americans think it was in 1621 – in a small town
    called Plymouth. It was celebrated by a small group of people from England called ‘Pilgrims’.
    It was celebrated because one of the Native American people (people who first lived in North
    America) taught them how to catch fish and how to grow corn. This man’s name was
    Squanto. The Pilgrims were very thankful for this help. Without it, many more Pilgrims might
    have died from hunger. The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted for three days and it
    included fifty English men, women and children and about ninety Native Americans.
    Afterwards, Thanksgiving became more and more popular in the United States until it finally
    became a national holiday. In both Canada and the U.S., turkey is the main part of the
    traditional Thanksgiving meal. Other foods commonly eaten include stuffing and mashed
    potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. According to Wikipedia, “Americans
    eat more food on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year.” Along with Christmas and
    New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving is one of the three major holiday celebrations of the year.
    According to usnews.com, 46.3 million Americans will travel fifty miles or more to be with
    friends and family to eat Thanksgiving dinner.
