THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is
the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for
Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the
ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They
arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But
in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could
save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the
fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the
celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey,
sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The
turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is
pumpkin made into a pie.
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the
streets with large balloons in- the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the
beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.

questions, from 43 to 50
Do you often use shampoo or put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If you think
these words are originally English, you'd better think again. In fact, each of these words comes from a
different language! Shampoo, for example, is actually a word from the Hindi language in India. This word
Trang 4/5 - Mã đ thi 357ề
originally meant "massage". In hair shops in India, barbers massage your head while washing your hair.
Over time, British people in India used this word to mean a liquid that cleans hair.
Almost everyone knows what ketchup is. People all over the world like to pour this sauce on French
fries or sandwiches. This word is original Chinese (from ketsiap, a fish sauce). In the 1600s, British and
Dutch sailors brought the fish sauce to Europe. Over time, people change the sauce by adding tomato
flavor to it, but the name basically stayed the same.
Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish language.
During one of the European Olympics, athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish athletes use
saunas after training. Later, the general public all over Europe started using this style of bathing, too.
Now, we still use this word to describe all kinds of steam rooms.
English is full of many wonderful borrowed words from many languages. Perhaps English should
change its name to Eng-hin-chi-fre-ger-ital-span-ish!
