In the United States, every year, Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November. But Canada(加拿大) is on the north(北) of the United States, and is colder. So the harvest(丰收) comes earlier in the year. In Canada, people have Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October.

The harvest brings a lot of food to the people. On Thanksgiving Day people in Canada and America like to have a big dinner with their friends and family. Many Canadians and Americans put flowers, vegetables and fruits around their homes to say "Thank you'" for the harvest.

At a Thanksgiving Day dinner, most Canadians and Americans must eat turkey, and they also eat some other kinds of foods-potatoes, and pumpkin pies. These are foods like the foods of many years ago. They have a party on Thanksgiving Day every year. In China, we also have an important festival to celebrate the harvest. It is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. We eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon.

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class. Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you try to make your dream real?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge(挑战). You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it's impossible(不可能) for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing(实现) your dream.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart(心脏). Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of(由...组成) many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

 As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.
