Information about what has happened in the world, in our country, in our area, or even
in our town comes to us in many ways. People who can read often get their news from media.
Because many people in the world are illiterate, however, they get the news from television or
radio.
Newspapers around the world are similar in many ways. They all have news stories that
tell people about the event of the day or week. Often, papers have other purposes that are
devoted to business, sport and maybe the latest fashion news. Papers usually appear weekly or
every day, but in some places they may only appear monthly. Magazines are another way that
some people get the news. They are longer and usually appear slower. Television and radio are
two other ways of the news. They get the news out faster than the newspapers and magazines,
and they don’t have to be read. Radio and television stations broadcast the news several times
each day.

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many
Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most
businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In
1620, the ship of Mayflower arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called
Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat,
so many of them died. But in the following summer the Native Americans showed them what
foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big
celebration to thank God and Native Americans for the fact that they had survived. Today
people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the
