每年11月的第四個星期四是美國的感恩節，很多人都會選擇在感恩節和自己的家人、摯友歡聚一堂，共同慶祝，在這一點上很像我們的中秋節。
今年感恩節，川普總統赦免了一隻叫做「玉米」的火雞。而赦免火雞並不是現在才有的，從甘迺迪開始，美國總統每年都會赦免火雞，榮獲赦免的火雞，就會被送到動物園等地「頤養天年」。
吃火雞是感恩節的一個傳統，每年感恩節美國人都會吃掉28億隻火雞，能夠被赦免是多麼幸運的事呀！
除了吃火雞，人們還會在感恩節對家人朋友表示感謝，下面小天特意為大家整理了感謝、感恩等相關的英語表達，趕緊來學一下，把你的感謝、感恩說給那些給予你幫助和愛的人吧。

Dear teacher,
I am writing to you to express my thanks for your help in learning English and speaking English.During these days in your class, I have learned much from you and it is very helpful to me.
Firstly, you let me know what is the west thinking pattern—straight thinking
pattern.
And, I think, it is very important to understand the west’s thoughts. As you know, this can help me with my examination and interaction with foreigners. Secondly, I have got enough confidence in speaking in English from your class and it took me a long time to gain this confidence. Now, I always express my ideas in English as possible as I can. It’s great to do that.
The last not the least, I find that learning English is not an boring thing as before and I’m interested in studying English which was just a necessary task to pass examinations. Reading, listening or speaking all become interesting and I really enjoy it.Above all, I want to say thanks again to you. And thank you for your time.
Good luck.
Yours,
Li Hua
