初中英语作文感恩节


篇一:



Almost

every

culture

in

the

world

has

held


celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The


American

Thanksgiving

holiday

began

as

a

feast

of


thanksgiving

in

the

early

days

of

the

American

colonies


almost four hundred years ago.


In 1620, a boat filled with more than one hundred


people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in


the New World(

新大陆

). This religious group had begun


to question the beliefs of the Church of England and


they wanted to separate from it. The Pilgrims settled


in what is now the state of Massachusetts. Their first


winter

in

the

New

World

was

difficult.

They

had

arrived


too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food,


half

the

colony

died

from

disease.

The

following

spring


the Iroquois Indians(

美国纽约州东北部易洛魁族印第安


)taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the


colonists. They showed them other crops to grow in the


unfamiliar soil and how to hunt and fish.


In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn,


barley(

大麦

), beans and pumpkins were harvested. The


colonists had much to be thankful for, so a feast was


planned. They invited the local Indian chief and 90


Indians. The Indians brought deer to roast with the


turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists.


The colonists had learned how to cook cranberries and


different kinds

of corn

and

squash

dishes from the


Indians. To this first Thanksgiving, the Indians had


even brought popcorn.


In

following

years,

many

of

the

original

colonists


celebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks.


After

the

United

States

became

an

independent


country,

Congress

recommended

one

yearly

day

of


thanksgiving

for

the

whole

nation

to

celebrate.

George


Washington

suggested

the

date

November

26

as


Thanksgiving Day. Then in 1863, at the end of a long


and

bloody

civil

war,

Abraham

Lincoln

asked

all


Americans to set aside the last Thursday in November


as a day of thanksgiving.


Thanksgiving

falls

on

the

fourth

Thursday

of


November, a different date every year. The President


must proclaim that date as the official celebration.


Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing.


Even if they live far away, family members gather for


a reunion at the house of an older relative. All give


thanks together for the good things that they have.


In

this

spirit

of

sharing,

civic

groups

and


charitable organizations offer a traditional meal to


those

in

need,

particularly

the

homeless.

On

most


tables

throughout

the

United

States,

foods

eaten

at

the


first thanksgiving have become traditional.


Turkey, corn, pumpkins and cranberry sauce(

酸果


< p>司

)are

symbols

which

represent

the

first


Thanksgiving. Now all of these symbols are drawn on


holiday

decorations

and

greeting

cards.

The

use

of

corn


meant the survival of the colonies.


a table or door decoration represents the harvest and


the fall season.


Sweet-sour cranberry sauce, or cranberry jelly,


was

on

the

first

Thanksgiving

table

and

is

still

served


today. The cranberry is a small, sour berry. It grows


in bogs(

沼泽

), or muddy areas, in Massachusetts and


other New England states. The Indians used the fruit


to treat infections. They used the juice to dye their
