“Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I
especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.

Many American kids earn (挣) pocket money by doing housework. But 11-year-old Aaron Conley doesn’t just work for pocket money. He has a full-time job and it needs training, hard work, and most importantly, a love of performing.
Aaron has performed different roles more than 300 times. Child actors like Aaron have taken years of acting, dance, and singing lessons. These young actors try out (试演) for parts in plays and movies. If chosen for a part, the children must work hard. For example, Aaron, a sixth grader, must juggle his acting work and schoolwork. That’s the hardest of all!
In fact, going to school became difficult when Aaron began receiving acting jobs in New York City. Many child actors go to private schools so that they can have flexible schedules (灵活的时间安排).
