 Ведучий 2: This year we started a new tradition – to write messages in a Thank  - you – book. People have different reasons to say “thank you”/ and saying “thank you” with no reason is very important. It means that you care about people.

Ведучий 1: And the smallest schoolchildren who can’t tell much in English prepared some pictures to this holiday.

Ведучий 2: Thanksgiving Day is a wonderful time to say thank you to our nearest and dearest for many things
