篇一：Thanksgiving Day activities
INTRODUCTION
Thanksgiving is a harvest festival and a holiday celebrated in the North of America on the fourth week of November. It is also a day you give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude. ACTIVITIE
(1) Families’ Activities
1. Watch the Parade
Families have enjoyed watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV since 1948 (and the parade was first held in 1924). Watching giant balloons, floats, and marching bands roll through the streets of New York City with your kids is a cozy and magical way to start the holiday. Make it even more fun by printing out our Thanksgiving parade bingo game!
2. Do a “Turkey Trot” Run or Walk
Everyone in your family can work up an appetite for your Turkey Day feast by participating in a community walk or run. There's probably a "turkey trot" or two in your area, and the registration funds raised typically benefit a good cause.
3. Play Touch Football
If you have a house full of sports fans, it might be tough to pry their eyes from all the televised football games on Thanksgiving Day. But striking up a family game of touch football (or any of these kid-friendly backyard games) is a much more memorable way to spend the day.
4. Have a Mini Pumpkin Hunt
Another fun group activity that's perfect for toddlers on up is a mini pumpkin hunt. It's one of our favorite pumpkin-themed activities. You can
hide one or more mini pumpkins, indoors or outside, and let the family
loose — like an Easter egg hunt with an autumn twist. One other idea is to play "Fill the Cornucopia," asking kids to find all sorts of hidden items — such as apples, Indian corn, and small gourds — to fill a cornucopia or basket on the Thanksgiving table.
5. Research Your Family Tree
What better time is there to help your kids learn their family history than Thanksgiving? With their grandparents and other older relatives around, children can dive into their genealogy and fill in this printable family tree
6. Volunteer at a Soup Kitchen
One admirable way to spend Thanksgiving Day is serving food to less-fortunate families at a soup kitchen, church, or community center. If
you can't help on the holiday itself, look into ways your family can pitch
in beforehand, such as collecting and sorting donated food or baking pies from the heart
7. Have a Board Game Tournament
A little friendly competition helps families bond on Thanksgiving — as long as everyone is a good sport! Pick from these 10 classic board games and play multiple rounds — or even a few different games — before crowning this year's family board-game champion.
8. Video-Chat with Faraway Relatives
Online chatting on a tablet or computer allows families to connect from across the country, and even around the world. If you have a loved one or two who are too far away to visit on Thanksgiving, chatting over Skype
or another video-chatting service will make their day. (A good ol' phone
call is still nice, too!)
9. Make Crafts and Color
We know the possible scene at your house: Mom is busy cranking out a feast in the kitchen. Dad is watching football. The kids are bored or cranky or running wild with their cousins. Set the youngsters up with some simple craft materials so they can make these festive creations, or — even easier yet — break out the crayons and print out some holiday coloring pages to keep them entertained until turkey time.
10. Help the Hosts
It's never too early to teach kids how to lend a hand to the holiday dinner
hosts (even if it's Mom and Dad)! Children can help with everything from

Para. 1: 1) Believe it or not, these years have witnessed a boom in celebrating foreign festivals on the Chinese campus. 2) According to an official report/survey, young people, especially college students, are showing more and more interest in such
festivals as Valentine’s Day, April Fools’ Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
3) To get a better sense of the boom, it is necessary for us to find out its causes.
Para. 2: 4) A closer analysis of the phenomenon can find that three main factors are well worth our concern. 5) In the first place, it is the product of students’ seeking after individuality and novelty, for which the college campus offers an ideal climate. (原因I) 6) In the second, it is seen, among the students, as an ideal way of freeing themselves from stress for the time being, since most college students, single child of each family, are subjected to the unprecedented pressures from all sides although they enjoy the abundance of material wealth.

inevitable result of more and more exchanges between Western and Eastern cultures.

3. 我的看法。
Views on Cloning
1)Almost everyone would agree that the birth of Dolly, as the first
clone of an adult animal, has opened a new way of seeing the creation of life for the world. 2) But this agreement ceases to exist just when it comes to whether cloning will bring fortunes or misfortunes to human society.
3)any contend that the merits of cloning will outrun its demerits. 4)
They base their contention on the grounds that cloning is the most effective
method of saving the rare wild lives from dying out. 5) Besides, as they also point out, cloning can help provide better ways to treat some serious or deadly
sicknesses, such as diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease. 6) Yet others react to the issue the other way around and hold that the opposite is just reasonable. 7) From their angle of view, cloning will threaten the ecological balance by destroying the natural reproduction through the enjoyment of sexual love between the male and the female. 8) And even worse, as they reveal, cloning will bring greater
disasters to human society if it is used in creation of individuals with extreme
genetic qualities, like terrorists, desperate scoundrels, and war manias.
9) I stick to the opinion that anything new, including cloning, can bring human society fortunes or misfortunes, all depending on how it is exploited. 10) On the one hand, it will be an inestimable blessing to the human world if it is applied to reproduction of best dairy cows or other choice domestic poultries. 11) But on the other hand, it will form a big threat to human society once it is abused in copying those hostile toward humanity. 12) In short, the solution to the problem is always within man’s reach.

Topic: How to Prevent a Terrible Marriage
1. 为了避免婚姻的潜在危机，一些人选择婚前协议的方式而另一些人仍通
过相互信任的传统方式。
2. 就这两种方式，你的选择倾向是······(通过对比说明你的选择理由)
参考范文：
How to Prevent a Terrible Marriage
1) With a sharp growth in the divorce rate, people become more and more
concerned about how to avoid the potential risks of their marriages. 2) To make it, some prefer to make premarital agreements before their wedding ceremonies while others still choose to maintain their marriages through their mutual trust. 3) If I were asked to make a choice between the two, however, I would like to attach more weight to the latter than to the former.
4) It is true that the marriage with a prenup (premarital agreement) does ensure a lot of benefits for the family, such as the protection of children from going hungry or the reasonable distribution of financial assets, once divorce is inevitable, but,
compared with the marriage based on the mutual trust, it seems less attractive to me. 5) To begin with, the marriage bound up with a prenup throws itself, from the very outset, into an ocean of family worries, thereby leaving little room for the spouses’ enjoyment of happiness their unity brings about. 6) By contrast, the marriage built on the mutual trust always nurtures itself in truth, romance and harmony, thus placing no limit on the spouses’ enjoyment of happiness derived from their intimate exchanges. 7) Besides, the prenup-based marriage lays bare, in writing or in cold fact, the spouses’ desire or even greed for money, in which context there is no soil in their marriage for warmth to grow on. 8) In contrast to that, the trust-based marriage alwaysreminds the spouses of the truth that there is something more valuable than money in their
marriage, in which case both the husband and the wife would tend to bring forth
more love and attraction for each other. 9) And the most striking difference between both lies in their emphases on the post-marriage life. 10) The former couple will focus their life on the material or physical interests whereas the latter couple will center their life around the spiritual or ethical refinements.
11) From the comparisons and contrasts above, anyone can conclude that my
way of coping with the prospective problems of a marriage is more reasonable and acceptable. 12) Therefore, I will refine my taste for marriage from today on so as to search the seas of people for the one who is resolved to share with me the affection and thought, comfort and hardship, joy and grief for life.

7) And best of all, they can prove man to be a part of the nature rather than the master of the nature.(分析III) 8) In this light, man has every reason to take account of all the important factors concerning the nature in the course of his struggle for a better survival and attach to each its due weight.
