Like its neighbour, the USA, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving with a traditional roast turkey dinner. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October. It’s not as big a celebration as the one in the USA but it’s very similar in many ways.
The centre piece of the table is always a large roast turkey. The turkey is often stuffed with a mixture of bread crumbs, onions, sausage meat and sage. Sometimes, the stuffing is cooked separately too. Most people spread butter all over the turkey, place it in a large metal tray, cover it in foil and then roast for several hours in the oven. Once the turkey is cooked it is put on a serving plate to cool and the cooking juices are used to make gravy. To make the gravy, add flour and chicken stock to the cooking juices from the turkey and stir constantly while the mixture is over a low heat. Bring to boil and keep stirring until the gravy becomes thick. When it’s ready, pour it over the turkey and the vegetables, which traditionally include roasted potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots.
Another suggestion is to serve the turkey with cranberry sauce. After the meal, tradition says that guests enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert.

Read the text and answer the questions.
Are you feeling a bit down? Tired and angry all the time? Cheer yourself up by eating the right kinds of foods. But hang on! Don’t go running for the chocolate bar or cup of coffee to cheer you up. They can have the opposite effect and make you feel even more tired because, although they might give you more energy for a short time, you will feel even worse later.
One of the best ways to cheer yourself up with food is to have a low fat, low protein, high carb snack. So try a muffin with no butter but lots of jam or honey. It can cheer you up in just half an hour and will even help you sleep better at night.
Fight stress with fruit smoothies! Give yourself an energy boost by drinking a smoothie loaded with lots of different kinds of fruit and some seeds, like sunflower seeds.
Finally, eat a bit more meat and fish. Maybe you are short of iron, which can make you feel tired and put you in a bad mood. Eat meat or fish to get your energy levels back up. Also, eating meat and fish will help you get more iron from plants like spinach too!
