«Thanksgiving»
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated predominantly in North America, and it possesses a different meaning in each of the countries where it’s acknowledged. In the United States, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday (meaning all government employees and most private employees are given a day off of work), and always takes places on the Fourth Thursday in November, regardless of the date. The holiday signifies the immense progress made by pilgrims, or some of the first travelers to North America, at Plymouth Plantation circa 1621. It was at this time that the hungry and weary Pilgrims were taught (by Native Americans) how to grow and produce food on North America’s unique terrain. Once they’d grown (and caught) an abundance of food, the Pilgrims were expectedly thankful, and they celebrated alongside the Native Americans who provided them with such valuable assistance. President Abraham Lincoln initiated the contemporary practice of Thanksgiving by calling for a «day of Thanksgiving» during one of his Civil War addresses. In America today, Thanksgiving remains firmly engrained in its historical roots, and is widely considered to be a day for giving thanks for good food, good times, and family. Thanksgiving dinner generally consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, gravy, and ample desserts.

5. Speak about Beauty
It has different meanings for different people. I try to find beauty in everything, because it makes a person happy. Appreciating beauty is a very important human value. I consider beauty what is pleasing to my eyes. It depends on the colors and appearance of the given subject. But one should not underestimate it, because many people are beautiful on the outside but not on the inside. The inner beauty is when a person is ready to help you in any case, to listen to you, to understand, to be kind, to want the good. I don't choose my friends by looking at their appearance, because it is often deceptive. People who are beautiful on the outside always stand out, but it's not enough to consider a person your friend. I don't want to mention famous people whom I consider beautiful. For me, my friends are the famous people I cosider beautiful. They are beautiful inside and outside.
