③ Retell the history of Thanksgiving ( 简述感恩节的来历 )

No other holiday that is now widely celebrated in North America has such a long and curious history as Thanksgiving.

A group of Englishmen arrived in Plymouth , America , in the Mayflower in December 1620 and settled down there.

During the winter after arriving in the New World, 47 of the 103 May-flower passengers died, but the rest did not lose hope.

By spring,each family had a home, and all were planting grains they had brought with them from England and corn given by friendly Indians.

They were eating fish the Indians had taught them how to net, along with wild game from the woods.

To thank God for the good harvest, December 13, 1621 was set aside for celebration.

There was no specific day of

Thanksgiving set aside in 1622. But

in 1623, Thanksgiving Day was so

devoted to thanking God that some people say it was the real beginning

of Thanksgiving.

After the hard winter of 1622-1623,

the Mayflower passengers planted

seeds and hoped for a large crop.

After the harvest, another day was

set apart to thank God.

During the following years throughout New England, there were specific days of Thanksgiving sometimes once a year, sometimes twice. George Washington, the first president of the United States, declared November 26, 1789 to be Thanksgiving Day.

The several presidents after

Washington generally allowed

the governors of states to decide

whether there should be a specified Thanks giving Day.

And if so, what day it should be?

It was Abraham Lincoln who

decided that the last Thursday in

November be Thanksgiving Day.
