Just For Love and Passion

Thanksgiving Day is an important festival for both Americans and Canadians. As an English learner, I also want to enjoy it with a warm heart.
Thanksgiving Day is originally to give thanks to god for the harvest and health. But now, people give thanks to anybody, anything they want.
The year of 2008 is pretty special for China, for Chinese people. On May 12th, there was an earthquake in Sichuan Province. It shocked the entire world. It ruined Wenchuan and Beichan County which are in Sichuan Province. Many people died of it, and many people lost their houses and family members. From CCTV, we could see many journalists go to Wenchuan or Beichuan which are the severely afflicted area to report the live events to people. We could see many soldiers save others’ lives regardless of their own lives. They just wanted to save more people. We could see people from different countries give their love to Sichuan.
I think, the people survived from the earthquake should have a thanks' giving heart. Though the Thanksgiving Day isn't the Chinese traditional festival, in the special time, I think, they should thank the soldiers, the volunteers, the journalists, the doctors, the strangers who ever helped them, the foreign supporters, and every Chinese should thank the world, just for other people’s kind-heart, for their devotional help.
In this special year, we also have a wonderful thing that Beijing Olympic Games. We know that it was very successful, China showed the best cultural and historic aspects of Chinese to the world, and showed the world the best sport meeting in Olympic Games history .When we are proud of it or excited, we should remember some people who ever contributed to the Olympic Games. Thank the workers who built the stadium among whom most were farmer-workers. They left their hometown and earned a little money, but they made a magic for the world. Thank the volunteers who offered their services to the audience, the athletes without any rewards. Thank those disinterested people who were not known to the public, but they were heroes, too.
As for me, I do not know how to express my love before. It is the first time I have tried to express my thanks to others, so I would like to thank many people.
My parents ,who have given my life, brought me up, loved me, taught me how to live ,how to be independent and how to be more happy ,are the most important people for me .Maybe you would say, everyone’s parents are all great But after I entered the college, I am really aware of the importance of my parents. Maybe they don’t need my thanks, but I still want to express my feelings. They support me all the time; they believe me all the time; their love is around me all the time though they don’t live with me now. I can’t use a word or a sentence to describe all the wonderful things. I just want to love them and make them feel happy.
About my friends, I’m so lucky because I have lots of friends. We experienced many troubles and happiness. Now, some of them are in universities, while some of them are still in Senior High School. But our hearts aren’t separated. We ever dreamt a lot, but our dreams failed to come true. However, we won’t give up. No matter where we are, we try to succeed all the time. Thank them for giving many good memories and experiencing the new life with me now though they may not need my thanks.
In the special moment, please allow me to laugh loudly. When I began to thank others, I felt so happy because the world is beautiful, our country is strong, my family is happy and my friends are wonderful.
