The first celebrations in what is now Canada were held in Newfoundland in 1578 by the English navigator, Martin Frobisher. These were the usual harvest festivals after the year’s work. The first recorded celebration in 3 is now the USA 4 sometime in autumn in 1610, celebrated by the colonists at Jamestown, Virginia. 5, for these colonists it was not so much a celebration of the harvest ? but the fact that supply ships had arrived 6 England. Due to the terrible winter 1609-1610, the colonists’ numbers had been 7 from 490 down to 60, and they were desperate. The first harvest-related Thanksgiving in the later USA was in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts, a year 8 the arrival of the Pilgrims on the Mayflowe, and after their first successful year.

Rapid industrial development caused a lot of ecological problems. They are air pollution, water pollution, growth of population and shortage of mineral resources. Air becomes polluted in many ways. Cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, factories and plants send burnt gases into the air. The production of electricity causes not only air pollution but acid rains and global warming. Because of acid rains, the Earth loses twenty million acres of tropical rainforests every year. This means the extinction of thousands of species that live there, for example tigers. Only sixty-seven thousand tigers remain. Tigers are hunted and killed for their body parts, which are used in oriental medicines. The ozone layer is destroyed too and the dangerous rays get through the atmosphere, causing skin cancer and other diseases. Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by oceans. Oceans are vital for the life on Earth. They provide homes for millions of plants and animals, provide people with food and help regulate the climate. But now they are a big dumping ground for tons of toxic waste. Most big cities pour their waste into seas and rivers. For a long time people did not realize the danger. The first alarm came from Japan: sixty people died because they have eaten polluted fish. We need clean air to breathe and pure water to drink. We need also food that is safe to eat and housing to shelter us. We can’t get all these things by ourselves. We live in community so we can solve our problems only by working together. Russia is cooperating in the field of environmental protection with the USA, Canada, Norway, Finland and other countries. A lot of public organizations have been established. One of them is Green Peace which was formed in 1971 with its headquarters in Amsterdam. The area of operation is twenty-five countries worldwide. Its objectives are to protect wild life and the atmosphere, to prevent disposal of toxic waste and nuclear tests.

I have, and it was all my own fault. Here’s my worst job interview experience, along with some of the lessons I’ve learned since. Several years ago I wanted to be a federal officer. So I applied for several job openings, went through written tests and even managed to get an interview. I was very excited and felt prepared for anything. When I went in for the interview, I felt almost invincible. That feeling lasted until they started asking me for specific examples of experience, particularly those dealing with teamwork and communication. My job at the time was almost all teamwork, yet, I blanked on examples. I lamely answered those questions by explaining that my previous job required teamwork and communication all the time without any detail. In my experience, most interviewers will ask for a specific example at some point and they want to know exactly how you dealt with the issue. You’d better go over some examples concerning your abilities before the interview and this might help you avoid going blank on those questions. Another question they asked was, “What is your biggest weakness?” I gave the overused, canned answer of, “I’m a perfectionist, and it’s such。
