The meaning of Thanksgiving – What are you thankful for?
In my life, I want to thank my parents because they gave me life. They taught me how to walk, how to read and how to behave well. I also want to thank my company. It has changed my life. It pays me reasonably. I will cherish my job because I think it is a good fortune to have a good job and it’s not easy to get this kind of work. I also want to thank my friends, we understand each other well. They tell me everything, even though, we live far apart… We are still very good friends. If I am unhappy and worried, they don't tease me.
This thanksgiving day, I am thankful for my parents, my company and friends. I want to give my best wishes to them. Happy thanksgiving (Aaron Zhu – Level2D Yahleen’s Class)
Thanksgiving
Firstly, I should thank you to my mother, she gave me life. When I was a baby, she taught me how to eat, how to walk and speak. She helped me dress in more clothes when the weather became cold. She prepared food for me every day. When I went to school, she taught me math, she told me how to overcome difficulties and how to make friends with other people. When I worked in the society, I faced many difficulties I never thought of before. But my mother always encourages me and asks me not to give up. She said to me“My baby, if you feel hurt and tired outside, remember I will always wait for you”. A mother is great to everyone.
Secondly, I like to thank my friends. We share our experiences with each other, I learn a lot from my friends; they are always around me when I’m happy and sad. My friends understand anything that happened to me.
At last, I should thank all the people I’ve met in my life. They made the world colorful. Whatever happens, no matter what failures or success, I should remember that experience is most important for me.(Ivy Xiao – Level3D – Girlie’s class)
What are your Thankful for?
Welcome! Thanksgiving day is coming! Happy Thanksgiving day! Happy turkey day! I’m so happy to be here to celebrate this holiday, even though this is a western holiday, not a Chinese traditional one. But we all like to say some thanks on this special day.
As we know, today is a holiday that is about pilgrims and American Indians. In 1620, the pilgrims, in order to give thanks for the American Indians help, prepared a feast, a big meal to give thanks. Then, after that, Thanksgiving became a day on which we celebrate and give thanks.
So now, what are you thankful for today? I think we should have a thankful heart every day. There are so many things we ought to give thanks for. For me, I’d like to thank my parents, they gave me a life, taught me how to be a man. I would also like to thank my family, they always stand by my side, support me, and help me, even if I am in any terrible situation; they always raise me up and cheer me up. Also, I’d like to thank GLV teachers. They teach me English and teach me knowledge, so I have a chance to learn more and get to know many friends and different countries’ cultures. It seems I’ve traveled all over the world. I hope they have a wonderful thanksgiving day too!
Have excellent health and a perfect life! That's what I’m thankful for today! Thank you! (Jack Ning – Level6A – Edward’s class)
My Thanksgiving Day
Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day. It's an American holiday. On this day, American families usually get together to have a large meal. Although it's not a Chinese traditional holiday, it's also a good time for us to think about "what am I thankful for?".
I want to say "thank you" to my parents . Somebody said "when you celebrate your birthday , don't forget that it's not only a day that your mother gave birth to you, but also a day that brought her lots of pain". The ways that my mom and dad act are different. Dad is not as talkative as mom , but his love is as deep as my mother's. Now, they are providing a chance for me to study abroad. It's hard work, but they just want me to have a good future, so I should seize this opportunity and study hard.
I want to say "thank you" to my friends . I got a message from my best friend yesterday. She said, " maybe I am not your best friend , but I'm thankful for you. You gave me a lot of memories that are worth to remember forever in my high school. Happy Thanksgiving Day!'”. Actually she also gave me a beautiful memory. Because of my friends and classmates, I have learned a lot and had a great time with them. I will cherish this time forever.
I want to say "thank you" to the Earth. All human beings live on the earth. We get a lot from her, but she never asks us to return anything. However, we don't know how to appreciate the earth.
What's more, somebody is destroying the earth, polluting the environment. I hope they can stop doing these things and be thankful for our mother--the Earth.
In my opinion, no matter what day it is today, we all should spend some time to think about "What am I thankful for?” We should be thankful for the person who used to help you or encourage you, when you were depressed or in troubles. If you say "Thank you" to somebody else, others will say "Thank you" to you as well. If you treat somebody else well, others also will treat you well. (The Author: Ellen Liao)
Thanksgiving is the day when people thank others for their giving. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank GLV and everyone in the school.
I'd like to thank Mr. Hong for opening GLV, so I have the good place to study English. I'll thank you more, if you give me a discount. I'd like to thank the AA department. They always help us to change Evening Programs. I thank AAs for giving us warnings, so all my classmates gave us coffee from the coffee bar. I’d like to thank the teachers for teaching us English and helping us make progress every day. I would like to thank the students in GLV for giving advice. Students in GLV are very nice to each other, they always teach me some funny English. For example, give some color see see. We must be thankful for SS, they work hard. Everyday they keep the school clean. They cook delicious food for people who study and work in GLV. Thank you, turkeys! you sacrifice yourself so that I can eat your delicious and wonderful meat. Thank God that I am finished!

What are you thankful for?
I am Thankful for my mom.
"Grateful heart”. Thank you with my life, I have the courage to do my own....".Every time I hear this song, I remember my mom.
If there is no mom, there is no me. Mom gave me my life, I would like to say, "Thank you, my Mom".
Way of heaven and earth is actually a way of life. When I was young, mom gave me confidence and encouragement. When I grew up, my mom helped me in her way. I would like to say, "Thanks Mom".
"Who can see your weakness" who knows you better than your mom? I want to say, "Thanks Mom".
