Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short and give thanks for their food.
We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers (先驅(qū)者) arrived in America in the 17th century. While they were the Atlantic (大西洋), many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was than any English winter. The local people taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The next year they celebrated together by a dinner of the new food.
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a dinner. The main dish of this dinner is almost always turkey. We all help to the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food. We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well.
During the festival, there are lots of things to see and do. We live in New York, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行). Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for . Football is also important at Thanksgiving. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy very much.

One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house. The water in my thermos (保溫瓶）had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she wouldn’t let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.

I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot. He looked increasingly upset. I was glad that I was able to point one out to him. His thankful smile was the hugest reward (獎(jiǎng)賞）for me.

We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it's easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off (炫耀). What's more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed (速度) rules.

Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious, and set up a much more perfect traffic system (體系) to solve the traffic pressure.
