明天是感恩節，我讀報紙，學習了感恩技巧：
I read an article in the newspaper and learned some techniques to be thankful:
1. Keep a journal full of all the things you are thankful for - Write all the things you are grateful for that day
作感恩日記 - 記錄一天下來的感恩事項
2. Watch what you talk - don’t use harsh words to yourself or others, instead use kind,encouraging, and polite words
注意言論 - 不要說傷害別人的話，多說鼓勵別人、有禮貌的好話
3. Pause mindfully every once in a while- this will help you to cool of your mind and make you not to worried
每天稍停片刻 - 讓腦子放鬆，不煩躁
4. Keep good memories- to keep nice memories keep photographs, drawings, and written accounts in scrapbooks , photo albums, and in picture frames around your house (this helps you remember nice memories in the past)
保留好的記憶 - 將相片、繪畫、日記放入剪貼本、相冊、或家裏的相框裏（這樣可以幫助你記住過往的好時光）
5. Go on a gratitude visit- write a letter of thanks to someone who helped you in the past and maybe give them a gift to express your thanks. Then read it to them on the phone or in person
去做感恩之行 - 寫“感謝卡”給曾經幫助你的人，或許送給他們一份禮物以示感激。然後當麵或在電話裏將感謝信讀給他們聽。
6. When you aren’t thankful- think about people poorer than you that don’t have what you have and instead of being not thankful you should be grateful for what you have.
若心無感恩 - 想想那些比你窮困的人。與其心無感恩，不如感謝你所擁有的。
7. Count blessings, not sheep - Review events and people to be grateful for during the day as you're falling asleep.
數點祝福，不數綿羊 -- 臨睡前，回放一天內讓你感恩的事與人。
Doing these things helps adults and kids.
