Festivals

Today, I'm going to talk about a fall festivals! I introduce"Thanksgiving Day". Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. The American traditions of Thanksgiving revolve around a huge and lavish meal, usually with Turkey as the centerpiece. For those who do not like Turkey, a Roast or Prime Rib is common. As tradition has it in most families, a special prayer of thanks precedes the meal. In many homes, family members will each mention something they are very thankful for. Thanksgiving is a time for families to create traditions and memories that last a lifetime.

Movies

Today, I introduce my favorite movie. I'm watching movies and DVDs, 3 or 4 titles in a week! To be honest, I am a movieaholic! My favorite movie is "Finding Never land". This is a story about J.M. Barrie's friendship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan. I'm not sure how many times I've watched. This movie is very emotive.

Everyone knows the story of Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, the Darling children and their adventure to Never land, with Tinkerbell and the nefarious Captain Hook. But how many know the story of J.M. Barrie. The main actor is Johnny Depp, he play the part of J.M.Barrie. He is a Scottish writer. It was opening night of J.M. Barrie’s latest play at the Duke of York’s Theatre and the audience is restless. Barrie retreats to London’s Kensington Gardens where he finds amusement and a spark from his St. Bernard, Porthos. It is here that he first time to meet Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her four boys – Peter, George, Jack, and Michael. Almost instantly, they form a unique friendship – one based on kindness, laughter, and imagination. But that friendship is met with resistance from the boys’ grandmother, Emma du Maurier (Julie Christie), and Barrie’s own wife, Mary (Radha Mitchell) but Barrie continues to play games with Sylvia and the boys. Emma also seeks to control her daughter and grandsons, especially as Sylvia becomes increasingly weak from an unidentified illness. Barrie arranges to have an abridged production of it performed in her home because Sylvia is too ill to attend the production. After a few days she dies shortly, and Barrie finds that her will, it was written that please look after my boys.

Laughter and affects

The old saying laughter just might be the best medicine, helping you feel better. “I believe that if people can get more laughter in their lives, they are a lot better off” says Steve Wilson, a psychologist and laugh therapist. “They might be healthier, too.” But researchers aren’t sure if it’s actually the act of laughing that makes people feel better and a good sense of humor, a positive attitude. And when we laugh, we stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. The effects of laughter and exercise are very similar and laughter appears to burn calories too. It turned out that 10-15 minutes of laughter burned 50 calories.
