| | |

| |Thanksgiving |

| |Even though I'm not American, I'll be celebrating thanksgiving this week! As I am from England, I've never celebrated it before, but Thursday |

| |I'm going to have a big Thanksgiving meal with family and friends, which I'm really looking forward to. Thanksgiving is an American tradition |

| |which, this year, is on the 22nd of November. |

| |Thanksgiving has been an American tradition since 1863, and was began by President Abraham Lincoln. It is always celebrated on the last |

| |Thursday of November, and it is said that the Pilgrims were the first people to eat Thanksgiving dinner after their first harvest. Turkey is |

| |traditionally eaten on Thanksgiving, which is why it is also known as 'Turkey Day'! On this day, Americans also eat seasonal vegetables such |

| |as squash, potatoes and sweetcorn, and eat pies for dessert. |

| |Although writing this is making me very hungry, the food isn't the most important part of Thanksgiving! If it was, it would have a very |

| |different title. As its name would suggest, on this day, Americans think about what they are thankful for in their lives - new opportunities, |

| |friends, family, or something completely different! |

| |This year, I am thankful for the chance I have been given to do this year abroad. Before coming to Dortmund, which is in the north-west of |

| |Germany, I did not have much knowledge of the world. I was the stereotypical ignorant Londoner. But now, I have the chance to see a whole new |

| |aspect of life, and I'm having a great time! I have a great job teaching English to children, lovely friends, a great roommate, and of course |

| |everybody back home - my friends, family and boyfriend. They have been here for me even though they are so many miles away. I've already had |

| |so many incredible experiences here in Germany, and am looking forward to the future! I think, above all, I am thankful for being able to |

| |adapt to life here. And thankful that, on the days where adapting is hard, my family and friends are always supportive! |

| |Happy Thanksgiving everyone! |

In 1996, he had to lose 40 pounds for his role as a drug-addicted soldier in Courage under Fire. While he was dieting, he became ill and had to take medication for several years afterwards. In 2000, he cracked a rib while he was playing golf in Th e Legend of Bagger Vance. Then, 12 years after losing weight for Courage under Fire, he had to gain 30 pounds to play a businessman in The Informant. Matt grew up in Massachusetts in the U.S. and started acting while he was still a student. He was studying English at Harvard University when he got a part in the movie Geronimo: An American Legend. When he heard the good news, he immediately dropped out of Harvard, hoping that Hollywood would take notice of him. It didn’t. It wasn’t until he won an Oscar with his friend, Ben Affleck, for Good

Will Hunting in 1997 that Hollywood began to show interest. After excellent performances in Th e Talented Mr. Ripley, Saving Private Ryan, and Ocean’s 11, he was offered the lead role in 2002 as the assassin Jason Bourne in Th e Bourne Identity. From then on, his career moved in one direction only—upward.
