The Thanksgiving Day is a national american celebration. It originates long time ago. If I`m not mistaken, When the first people started began to settle the land of America, they didn`t have any food and probably they would deie because of hunger. If not the indians, who gave them food. It is assumed that the first food that people got from them was turkey, corn, pumpkin and maple syrup. 
In our days people in America still celebrate Thanksgiving day, mentally thank the God and that indians and eat turkey as a traditional meal on this day.

День Благодарения - национальный американский праздник. Он берёт начало с давних пор. Если я не ошибаюсь, когда первые колонии стали заселять Америку, у них совсем не было еды и, возможно, они бы умерли от голода. Если бы не индейцы, которые дали им еду. Принято считать, что первая еда, которую получили люди - это индейка, кукуруза, тыква и кленовый сироп.
В наши дни люди в Америке до сих пор празднуют День Благодарения, мысленно воздают благодарность Богу и тем индейцам и едят индейку в качестве традиционного блюда в этот день.

Вотна английском Charity is quite popular nowadays. People have become more open and kind-hearted. On the whole, charity means voluntary giving of help to those who are in need. Charitable giving can include the act of giving money, goods, time, attention and kindness to the unfortunate. Most forms of charity mean providing basic items of necessity, such as food, water, clothing, shelter, healthcare and else. There are so many charitable organizations in the world today. They allow people to donate either directly or online, through websites. Charitable organizations also include orphanages, food banks, religious institutes and hospitals for the poor. Donating things you don’t use anymore is one of the forms of charity. Not everyone is lucky enough to have lots of toys or warm clothes for winter. Sometimes people simply can’t find the job to earn enough money. Others are sick, disabled or elderly and can’t get around on their own. These are the cases when charity helps. If everyone made charity a part of their life and helped those who are in need, the world would become a better place to live. Mother Teresa once said: “To truly give charity, you must be free of selfishness!” And, it’s true. The acts of charity come in many different forms. It you have ever helped to plant a garden or gave your jar of coins to someone who needs it more than you, then you already know what charity is. However, true charity doesn’t only mean giving out money and unwanted items to others. True charity starts with a kind word given by you to someone on a bad day, with a sincere smile and with love.
