摘要:

  提起感恩节,大家的第一个反应往往就是“黑五”,这个外国的“双11”是不少海淘党们的节日。但在感恩节,除了黑五和火鸡,还有哪些有趣的点是你应该知道的呢?

  About History

  所有的节日都不是凭空出现的,美国感恩节历史的最早记载可以追溯到1621年,也就是在那一年,人们为了庆祝丰收而举办的大型活动,被认为是现代感恩节文字记载的最早由来。

  In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly but not universally, traced to a sparsely documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest.

  About Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

  感恩节的另一项大活动一定非梅西百货的游行莫属啦!这项游行能够顺利的将各大品牌和美国家庭联系在一起,并且为商家创造真实有效的利益。在游行中,花车,女郎以及盛大的装扮,常常吸引近万人驻足观看哦!

  For brands looking to foster a wholesome connection with the American family unit the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade can offer an authentic touchpoint and brand equity that lasts well beyond the last of the turkey leftovers.

  About Date

  加拿大第一个官方认可的感恩节出现在1872年的4月15日,为了庆祝他们的王子从一场重病中康复而设立。而随着时间推移,在19世纪末,感恩节通常在9月6日开始庆祝。然而当世界大战爆发后,感恩节和停战日通常在同一周内举行。

  The first official Canadian Thanksgiving occurred on 15th April , 1872, when the nation was celebrating the Prince of Wales' recovery from a serious illness. By the end of the 19th century, Thanksgiving Day was normally celebrated on November 6. However, when World War Iended, the Armistice Day holiday was usually held during the same week.

  看到这里,各位烤鸭可能疑惑,不是说好感恩节中藏着雅思作文的秘密?先让我们来看一道经典的雅思作文真题

  Some people say arts such as music and painting cannot directly improve the quality of people’s life, so the government shouldn’t put money on art such as music and painting, instead, they should spend more money on construction of public services. Do you agree or disagree?(040626)

  这是一道经典的政府投资”类话题,这类话题不仅在雅思考试中出现的频率高,而且由于其不定性经常衍生出各类的变题。当政府投资遇上节日,新的变题就出现了:

  The government and individuals are spending too much money on national celebrations like new year or festivals. Do you agree or disagree?

  这道题问大家在关于节日的花销中,有人觉得政府投入了太多,并问你是否赞同

  我们假设以赞同的一点来进行发散,那么怎么将环球君上面和大家说到的感恩节相关内容糅合到作文中呢?

  1.节日是国家特有的文化反应,因此十分宝贵——比如感恩节,有其背后的意义

  2.节日可以将家庭凝聚起来——比如感恩节或圣诞节

  3.节日让国家更有凝聚力——比如英国国王的每年圣诞演讲

  4.节日并不太多,因此政府花销也没有很大

  这些观点都可以和你已知的节日传统和其背后意义进行穿插表述,不用对每一个观点都举十分详尽的例子,但是逻辑和表述一定要清晰,我们来看一个7分范例:

  However, I believe there are great benefits of public spending on national celebrations, and therefore it is completely justifiable.

  The first advantage is that this is a great way to preserve the culture of a nation. To illustrate, ……is an important part of the……culture, and holding celebrations for this occasion is necessary to remind younger generations of this tradition.

  Additionally, since these occasions are usually the only times for family members to have time and enjoy together, it is understandable that people would want to spend money on something that makes them happy.

  Finally, as there are only a few national celebrations in a year, the amount of money spent on those days is unlikely to be too much.

  其实知道背景知识是一方面,要能够自己去灵活运用才是最重要的另一方面哦!觉得自己的作文提分仍有难度?那不妨来环球教育学雅思!
