The story of Thanksgiving

Hi everybody!

The other day I was watching a video on YouTube and it talks about “The story of Thanksgiving”


“The story of Thanksgiving”

In 1620 British Pilgrim Fathers from Plymouth reached the USA. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean with a big sailing ship and arrived on the east coast. First the Pilgrim Fathers built wooden houses because they arrived in autumn nearly winter and searched for food, but they didn’t find a lot. The first winter in the new world was very cold and snowy and they had little to eat. In spring the Pilgrim Fathers try to growth something, so they dig holes, but they weren’t experienced farmers. So they Indians helped them out to growth food. They plant potatoes, corn and other vegetables. After a good harvest the invited the Indians and celebrated together the good harvest.

This is the story of Thanksgiving. I thought you might be interested too because Thanksgiving is a very important celebrating in the US and the UK.

Entertainment

Hi everybody!

The other day in our English lesson, we spoke about Entertainment and the positive and negative things of being famous.

I think being famous is not just only a wonderful and exciting life, because if you are famous you are very busy and you haven’t got much time for your family and friends. And you also have to behave mannered in public all time. But the other side of being famous is, if you are famous you would most probably be rich and you could buy everything you want. And this is the reason why lots of people want to be prominent, because of the money.

We also have been given in our English lesson the lyric of the song “Entertainment” by Rise Against, which also talks about being famous and standing in the spotlight.

What do you think about being famous? Please write your personally mind in the comments.
