Hello everyone.It is my honor to stand here to give my short speech. Today the temperature is 3 degree to 15 degree centigree. It is a little cold,so we need to add some warm clothes include the beautiful girls who want to be thiner in order not to catch cold. Does anyone know what festival tomorrow is? Maybe most of us didn’t realize that tomorrow is the fourth Thursday of November. Yeah, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day is a traditional American holiday . Now, many places around the word also celebrate this holiday include us. In American, on the fourth Thursday of each November, families and friends gather together for the occasion to celebrate with a traditional turkey dinner, usually in the mid-afternoon. Thanksgiving originated as a celebration of the year's harvest and is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Thanksgiving Day is most closely connected with the earliest history of the country. In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring. All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today. President George Washington declared that the people of the United States should observe "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer" on Thanksgiving. The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.

Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year' s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings. Thanks to the Native Americans and the Pilgrims who created this idea of a day of Thanksgiving all those live in the New World can be thankful for all we have and share the joy with our family members and friends. For us, we needn't have a big turkey dinner with families in Thanksgiving Day, but we should keep a grateful heart for all of the world all the time.

May be we feel we are under much pressure and misery now.and may be we have to have dealings with sth we don't like.But from the passage ,can bad luck be explained,we can know it ususllly because our psychological factor that cause us feel unlucky.Why don't we pay more attention to the beauty of the world.Thanks for the fresh air,the warm sunshine,the groud we touch and the full communal facilities . The necessary people that we should thanks for are our parents. It is them who bring us to the world.For some parents especially our mother,we are even as important as

themselves.Although we are not together, we can send them a short message at the midnight just as we wait until the midnight to say happy birthday to our friends."My dear mother,today is thanksgiving day,i will at your hand forever." They would be very happy all day long because of it.
