Thanksgiving day is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, and has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well.
Also, on Thanksgiving day, we usually eat turkey, corn, carrots, cranberry, stuffing, mashed potatoes, biscuits, yams or pumpkin pie. So, here is a song about what we eat on Thanksgiving :
And the last video I'm going to show you is my class's favourite Thanksigiving song :
Great to hear from you!! It's my pleasure to help you help you with your school project.
First of all, in my school the sport we play most this term is volleyball. My school has got a gigantic basketball court, where we put a volleyball net when we play matches. We all enjoy playing volleyball!! Our PE teacher has already shown us how to play correctly and safely, so we are all ready to try to win each other!!
You also would like to know how students benefit from all these. Well, in my opinion I think there are no disadvantages of playing volleyball or any other sport. You feel fresh and active. Team sports make you more sociable and most times more competitive. Also, you don't just benefit physically. If you play sports, you do better at all the other school subjects and you increase your self-discipline. So, why not playing volleyball for less than thirty minutes to benefit yourself so much without any special try??
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, drop me a line!!
In France it’s considered rude to cut the lettuce in salad!!
In Mexico it’s actually ok to be late. Always being late for at least 30 mins won't annoy anyone, since the hostess has more time to prepare the dinner!!
In Bulgaria you shouldn't bring yellow flowers to the hostess. They symbolize it harted!!
In England, bananas should be eaten with a knife and fork, a custom that dates back to the 19th century when this fruit was viewed as an exotic treat!!
In Austria you have to make eye contract with the person you clinc glasses with!!
In Tanzania, drinking beer from the bottle is very rude-it should be poured into a glass!!
In Italy, when it comes to pasta only, you don’t have to wait for everyone else to start eating; however, you must wait for everyone to be served before digging in on all other dishes!!
In Portugal, bringing wine to the hostess is considered an instult!!
In Russia and China, if you leave some food in your plate, it means that it was enough to enjoy it and not being too much. But, if you do the same in India or Philippines it shows to the others that you're rude and wasteful!!
In Japan, when eating ramen, you’re expected to slurp enthusiastically. Be careful though, as it’s easy for the ramen to end up all over yourself if you overdo it!!

I'm Zeta. I'd like to talk to you about my extra-curricular activities. Have YOU got any??
First of all, I have only two after-school activities and I really like them!
One of them is English Lessons. I go to the Pre Lower (B1) Class of the English School "YES!". I've been studying English for 6 years. In a way, I prefer communicate in English than in Greek-I find it more interesting! In Class, we all have fun and enjoy the lessons.
Another extra-curricular activity I have is Piano Lessons. I love it so much! I have been studying it for almost 4 years. I adore playing the Piano, I think that it's the most relaxing and creative thing you can do in your spare time. It totally makes you feel better when you are sad or even angry.
So, these are my extra-curricular activities. How about you?? Do you learn another foreign language?? How about musical instruments?? Do you play any??
The Visitors Are.. !! Thank you for being one of them!!
About Me :
Hey everyone! It's me, Zeta, and here are few things you probably want to know about me.
I go to the Lower Class of the English School "YES!". I play the piano for about 4-5 years and I think it is the most relaxing and enjoyable thing someone can do in their free time. I listen to pop-rock and punk-rock music. My favourite bands are 5 Seconds of Summer (which I like since May '15) and Twenty One Pilots (which I've been listening to since December '15), although I like many more bands, for example Arctic Monkeys. Also, I truly love Halsey, Troye Sivan and Melanie Martinez. I also love watching videos on YouTube. My favourite YouTubers are Issa (twaimz), Colleen (colliscool), Ellena (ellenawhat), Connor (ConnorFranta), Jack (jacksepticeye) and last but not least Felix (PewDiePie). My favourite food is obviously pizza. I absolutely hate waking up at 7pm in the morning - let's be honest, who doesn't? My best friends are Efi and Dorina. In my blog, I try to post a variety of things for you to find what you like reading most and focus on that! Check out the Categories below and start reading my posts (I post new as soon as I can)!
PS. Thank you all so much for 56k visitings! I really appreciate every single one of them, you guys are the best!!
