It was bad weather to celebrate Thanksgiving. The weather prevented John from going to see the annual parade. The TV said the parade was still on as long as the wind did not go over twenty-three miles per hour. John had not missed this parade for years. Last year he saw the big turkey, M&M, and many more big balloons. The parade had not yet started while John had hoped the rain would stop. So he could enjoy the views. Every year the parade route is crowded in the heart of the city. Last year there were a few accidents during the parade but the mayor had more police in the parade this year. I remembered last year parade with razzle-dazzle as I stood on the side-walk. I saw so many balloons that I could not remember them all.

Although John did not go to the parade, he saw it on TV with his older sister Jane. Jane just came back home from school. Their parents were so excited that she came back to celebrate the . John's dad used to say she was the smartest in the home AND that really made John unhappy sometimes. Jane brought her boyfriend with her. He was as smart as she was. Jane got four As and a B last year. Her dad used to joke that she had his brain and had her mom's body. During we watched the parade, Jane mentioned about spending a summer with her friends in . John told her that our parents would not approve. Then Jane told her dad. Her dad told her the reason that she should not go.

This year John carved the turkey because his dad thought he was ready to do the job. His mom cooked a variety of food on this day.

It is a river I've never been to in my life. I've never read anything about the river online or in the library but my little sister has a book about the on her shelves. Although I don't want to look at it or to find more information about the river, I've a full imagination what the river was like the wriggly line extending from east to west across . The origin of the Chinese civilization was born from this river. The native people make their farmer Alamance based on this river.

The beauty of the river has inspired many immortal poets, writers and philosophers throughout the Chinese civilization. There is an endless range of mountains on both sides of the rivers.

Fishermen came to this fertile river to catch fish every morning. The view draws millions tourists to come here.

When the clean water was contaminated with all sorts of chemicals in the beginning Industrial Revolution, a lot of variety of fish became extinct.

Once one part of the was a paradise. The ecology was unbelievable. Because the government wanted to preserve the part of the river, the president made it as a monument.
