Thanksgiving

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 the Mayflowers 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 food to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer 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 the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

Thanksgiving is held _______.

Pets are kept by many people for pleasure or pastimes. They keep and nurse them at home as a hobby. Some people have special breeds of dogs or cats as pets while others rear birds in cages.

In keeping pets we need to take special care. We have to feed them with the right food at the proper times. Any failure on our part could endanger their life. We have to protect them from their enemies. Furthermore, the pets and their cages have to be kept clean. This is to prevent the attack of any diseases from unhygienic surroundings.

If we understand their habits it is easy for us to handle them. Keeping pets gives us an opportunity to be kind to these creatures. We might learn more about the life and needs of pets. Those who keep birds like parrots are likely to read books about rearing them. Such people do not hesitate to spend money, time, and energy for the well-being of their pets.

Most sore throats are caused by an infection that treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with simple remedies, the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.

Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain in swallowing. With children – and some adults – there may be fewer and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat.

Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza, there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing, and loss of voice.

Treatment:
Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and the fever (if there is one). Use aspirin tablets dissolved in water so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.
Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty.
Steam: if there is a pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.
Children:
Young children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours in the right dose for their age. At one year: A single junior aspirin
At five years: Half an adult aspirin
At eight years: One whole adult aspirin

When to see the doctor:
If the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days
If the patient complains of earache
If the patient’s fever increases
If the parent of the patient is worried

One of the signs of tonsillitis can often be……………..
