Thanksgiving

IV. - Develop your reading skills. Read the following text and do the
comprehension question.
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the USA and Canada. In The USA, it is celebrated on the
fourth Thursday in November every year. The Canadians celebrate it on the second Monday
in October. It is associated with giving thanks to God. In the beginning people expressed
gratitude for the harvest they reaped. It used to be a religious holiday but now it has
become a secular celebration.
The most important part of the celebration is the dinner which includes the customary
turkey served with cranberry sauce, and pumpkin. A lot of business goes on during this
holiday. For example, restaurants take advantage of the holiday to sell turkey dinners
Families and friends usually get together for a large meal or dinner during Thanksgiving
and have a lot of fun. That's why, the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is considered one of
the busiest travel periods of the year. Students are given a four-day or five-day weekend
vacation. Thanksgiving is also a paid holiday for most workers.
