Topic:English Central-Thanksgiving
明天，也就是每年11月的第四個周四，是美國的感恩節，今天分享一段English Central上關于感恩節的小對話。
You know, Thanksgiving is coming up soon.
Sure, but I don't know too much about it. We have a different Thanksgiving celebration in Korea.
Here in the US, we always celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.
Right, so it's next Thursday then?
Yes. I really like Thanksgiving because it's a family holiday and it's not overly commercialized.
What do you mean?
Well, it's not all about spending lots of money on presents,...
...and you are not inundated with television advertising around Thanksgiving the way you are around Christmas time.
I see what you mean.
On Thanksgiving, the main focus is to get together with your family and have a huge, delicious meal.
Oh, I see.
學習筆記：
最近交流英語寫作的特別多，覺得Raz的閱讀選文邏輯條理特別清晰，框架和表達思路的方式特別贊。也有的父母開始發愁，Raz高級別的Quiz除了選擇題，開始出現開放性的問題，不知道該如何指導。不僅僅是Raz，我們平時在學英語的時候不妨都多留意，最好的寫作起步就是仿寫。當然，絕對不是生搬硬套的仿寫，而是要讀懂吃透行文架構的模仿，和再創造。
以今天的這個感恩節對話為例，就是一個內容完整，層次清晰的段落，回答了Why do you like Thanksgiving這個開放性的問題。
→Topic sentence開頭：I really like Thanksgiving because it's a family holiday and it's not overly commercialized.
這里要注意Restate the question，答題要完整，不能簡略回答，直接說because...
→Detail 1對比：Well, it's not all about spending lots of money on presents,...
...and you are not inundated with television advertising around Thanksgiving the way you are around Christmas time.
→Detail 2 經過上面和圣誕節的對比，所以感恩節是怎么樣的節日：On Thanksgiving, the main focus is to get together with your family and have a huge, delicious meal.
所以，回答開放性的問題大體就是這樣的思路：主題句+若干個支持性的細節+總結。
