参考范文： Dear Tom，

Thanks for your e-mail last time. I'd like to tell you that I am now focusing my attention on American culture, especially American festivals.

When it comes to American festivals, what attracts me most is Thanksgiving Day. Since I have never spent the festival in America in person, I know little about it. I would appreciate it greatly if you can tell me something about it. My questions are as follows: How did it come into being? When and how do people celebrate it? What's its significance?

I hope you can give me assistance in this problem and thank you in advance. Best wishes!

Yours， Li Hua
