1. What is the favourite sports entertainment on Thanksgiving Day in the USA?
2. What happens to the turkeys which are chosen by the President?
3. Why was it decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at the end of November?
4. How can people make the house ready for the autumn holiday?
5. Why did the turkey become the main dish for the Thanksgiving dinner?
6. What is the day after Thanksgiving known for?
7. Why is Thanksgiving celebrated on different dates in different countries?
A. The people of Canada celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday of October every
year. It is celebrated to thank God for the past harvest and pray for the coming year.
The United States, however, celebrates Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November
every year. The reason behind the difference is geographical: autumn starts earlier
in Canada than in the USA.
B. Thanksgiving is the right time to decorate homes. You can add some autumn-colored pillows
to the sofa, light a candle and arrange some yellow or orange flowers in a vase. Special
message boards have become very popular recently. As guests arrive for Thanksgiving, let
them write what they are thankful for on a paper leaf and pin it up on the board. Paper leaves
can be cut from scrapbooks and painted in autumn colours.
C. Lots of Americans cannot imagine Thanksgiving afternoon without watching TV. This
tradition began in 1934. The reason was a great match between two football teams – the
Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. That game turned out to be really exciting. Since that
time, matches have been held every year (except the years of World War II) on Thanksgiving
Day and have become very popular.
D. Once, President Truman chose a turkey on Thanksgiving Day and sent it back to the farm.
That happened in 1947. Since that time it has become a tradition. Nowadays the President
selects two turkeys and frees them in front of a large crowd. Then the turkeys are sent to a
farm house to let them live in peace.
E. Some people use Thanksgiving Day and the day after to visit their families or friends. Others
use this day to go shopping. The Americans call the day after Thanksgiving ‘Black Friday’.
It first got its name in 1960 in Philadelphia. Many people visited the city for shopping. It was
overcrowded and the local people considered it a bad black day. Nowadays ‘Black Friday’
means the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
F. In 1863 Sara Hale, an editor and writer, wrote a letter to President Lincoln and advised him
to proclaim a national day of Thanksgiving. She selected the last Thursday in November
because, as she said, the harvests were finished, the elections were over and people were
back from their summer vacations. She even suggested a list of dishes for the traditional
holiday menu. President Lincoln liked her idea and declared a national holiday,
Thanksgiving Day.

David Beckham
David Beckham – is there a more famous and lovable celebrity? The footballer who played for
such famous teams as Manchester United and Real Madrid is also a fashion model and a
successful businessman.
David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975, in London, England. His father Ted Beckham was a
kitchen fitter and his mother Sandra, a hair stylist. David Beckham was the family's only son. A
middle child between two sisters, David grew up with parents and relatives who were great fans
of Manchester United, England’s legendary football club. From childhood, David was a
promising footballer. At 11 he won the prestigious Bobby Charlton Soccer Schools National
Skills Competition. David was noticed by Manchester United team officials, who asked him to
try out for the club’s youth league. By the age of 16, Beckham had to drop out of school. He left
home to play for his favourite team. Two years later he became a full-time player for Manchester
United and one of its leading figures.
From 1992 to 2003, playing for Manchester United, David Beckham scored 85 goals. Every time
he had a game, he wore different football boots – it was a sort of ritual for good luck. In 2003,
David unexpectedly left his beloved team for Real Madrid. The reason was the growing conflict
between David Beckham and Manchester’s manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. Once Sir Alex
Ferguson fined David for babysitting with his sick child, while his wife Victoria, a designer, was
at a London Fashion Week Event. The fine was really large. The incident caused a serious
personal tension between the two men and ended in Beckham moving to the other club.
In Real Madrid, David Beckham was not allowed to wear his favourite number seven, because
the right to wear it was written into the contract of another player. Instead, David decided to
wear a shirt with number 23, which was the number of his favourite basketball player Michael
Jordan. Though David Beckham immediately became very popular with the Real Madrid fans
and his shirt sales made a lot of money for the football club, the team didn’t win any serious
tournaments. Perhaps, it was one of the reasons why in 2007 Beckham signed a five-year
contract to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy and moved to America. However, his career in
America was a rocky one – numerous injuries affected him. In May 2013, David Beckham
announced his plans to retire.
It’s important to say that David Beckham has always been a devoted husband and a loving
father. David and his wife Victoria have three sons and a daughter. They say the boys are being
trained as ‘bodyguards’ for their little sister Harper. The youngest, Cruz, has been practicing
Taekwondo, Brooklyn is interested in boxing, and the oldest, Romeo, does karate. They are
preparing early so that when Harper is older, “they will all be ready to protect her from noisy
fans,” David says.
