Thanksgiving Day is coming; do you prepare your feast? Today, we will talk about some new words about Thanksgiving Day.

感恩 means thanksgiving 节 means festival and holiday, such as 圣诞节 means Christmas, 情人节 means Valentine's day and Chinese festival 中秋节 means mid-autumn day.

What do you prepare for your Thanksgiving Day feast? Turkey and Pumpkin are needed, perhaps there are corn and wine. Let's see how to say these foods in Chinese.

• Turkey — 火鸡 huo3 ji1
• Pumpkin — 南瓜 nan2 gua1
• corn — 玉米 yu4 mi3
• wine — 酒 jiu3
• grape wine — 葡萄酒 pu2 tao2 jiu3
