Read the passage

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of  November to gives thanks  for a successful harvest. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated almost 400 years ago. Pilgrims thanked the Native Americans for their help during a long, cold winter. In keeping with the idea of celebrating a plentiful harvest, preparing and eating a large meal is a central part of most Thanksgiving celebrations today. Thanksgiving menus usually include many different foods. The meals are large, but the foods eaten at Thanksgiving are quite simple. They celebrate the country and traditional farming life. Corn was essential: the Pilgrims wouldn’t have survived if the Native Americans hadn’t taught them about this native crop, so corn is symbol of  the survival of the colonies, as well as the harvest and the fall season. There is no official reason or  declaration for the use of turkey. It just happened to be the most plentiful meat available at the time of the first Thanksgiving in 1621, starting the tradition. Cranberries were probably on the first Thanksgiving table. The American Indians taught the Pilgrims to make a cranberry sauce called “ibimi”, meaning bitter berry. When the colonists saw the berry,they re-named it “crane-berry”, because its flower resembled the long-necked bird called the crane. Both the regular and sweet potato were important crops because they were hardy enough to survive strong winters. Pumpkin is also a strong crop, as well as a versatile vegetable, which can be used in sweet of savory dishes.

Writing

In this lesson we will study how to tell the time. We will then read about two people’s daily routines.

What time is it? Look at the different ways there are of saying the time in English.

2:00 5:30 2:20 7:45 6:15
It’s two o’ clock. It’s half past five.

It’s five thirty.

 It’s twenty past two.

It’s two twenty.

 It’s quarter to eight.

It’s seven forty-five.

 It’s quarter past six.

It’s six fifteen.
4:00 4:30 8:20 1:45 11:15
It’s four o’ clock. It’s half past four.

It’s four thirty.

 It’s twenty past eight.

It’s eight twenty.

 It’s quarter to two.

It’s one forty-five.

 It’s quarter past eleven.

It’s eleven fifteen.

There are two ways of telling the time. You can tell the time by saying the number of minutes PAST the hour that’s just been completed, or you can say the number of minutes that are BEFORE the FOLLOWING hour. In this case you say ___ minutes TO the hour. Let’s see some examples:

1:15 2:30 2:45 3:00 2:10 3:25 12 pm 12 am
It’s one fifteen.

It’s a quarter past one.

 It’s two thirty.

It’s half past two.

 It’s two forty-five.

It’s a quarter to three.

 It’s three o’ clock. It’s ten minutes past two.

It’s two ten.

 It’s three twenty-five.

It’s twenty-five past three.

 It’s noon.

It’s midday.

 It’s midnight.

We are going to read about the mother and father of a family and their daily routine.

  • go to bed
  • go to work
  • wake up
  • go to school
  • have breakfast
  • at lunch
  • eat dinner
  • arrive at office
  • watch TV

Now, let’s read about John and Sue’s daily routine. What do they do every day, and at what times?

John wakes up at 7 o’ clock. He has his breakfast(coffee and toast) then goes to work. Sue wakes up at 6:45. She eats breakfast then takes the kids to school.
John arrives at the office at 7:15. He is a manager. Sue arrives at the office at 8:00. She is an engineer.
At 12:30, John goes to a restaurant to eat lunch. He likes chicken and fish. At 12:45, Sue takes the children home for lunch. They like hamburgers.
John comes home at 8:45. He eats dinner then watches TV. Sue eats dinner with John then they watch TV. They go to bed at 10:00.

Test

Do you like chicken? Yes, I do/will/don’t/.
