Thanksgiving Day
Task 1 Read the text and watch the video to answer the questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvJ_9yJmFYM
There were people living in America before the pilgrims arrived. These people were The Native American Indians. The Indians began settling in America about 25.000 years ago. They hunted, fished and farmed to survive. There were many groups, or tribes, and each had its own customs and beliefs.
The pilgrims' first first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow many crops. Without fresh food, half of the pilgrims died. The following spring the Indians taught the pilgrims how to hunt, fish, plant, and survive in America. The crops did well, and in the fall of 1621 the pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate a Thanksgiving feast.
They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans, and pumpkins. They invited their Indian friends to share this feast. The Indians brought food to the feast too.
Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the fall. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. Turkey is still the main dish and pumpkin pie is the most popular dessert.
