13 分钟Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Katherine and today we're celebrating a very important and very special American holiday.
That's right, today we are celebrating and talking about Thanksgiving,
a very, as you say, traditional and big holiday in the United States.
That's right.
So this year it's on November 25th.
It's always on a Thursday.
Let's check out our dialogue to hear about what happens at this special dinner and why this is a holiday and then we'll be back to talk about it in just a moment.
So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Not much, really.
It's more of an American tradition.
So back home, we don't really celebrate it.
In fact, I'm not even sure of what exactly is being celebrated.
Well, you know, it's a time to get together with all of your family and be thankful for everything.
Yeah, but how did this holiday come to be?
Well,
the first settlers of Massachusetts arrived there because of religious persecution from England and King James.
Once in the New World,
they befriended a native named Squanto who taught them how to harvest food from the area such as corn.
