要营造丰富而有意义的家庭感恩对话并非易事。我深有体会，当我问“你感恩什么？”时，得到的往往是些快速而可预见的回答，对话很快就结束了。今年感恩节，我打算换个方法，准备了20个关于感恩的问题，希望能让我们的分享更加生动有趣。
你可以随意借用这些问题，也可以自己想一些。你甚至可以把问题写在小纸条上，邀请家庭成员每人抽取一张，然后大家一起回答。
愿这些问题能激发感恩节的精神！
1）你最感谢哪位老师？为什么？你从他/她身上学到了什么？
2）你最感恩的季节是什么？你最喜欢每个季节的哪个部分？
3）你最感激的电子设备是什么？它给你的生活带来了什么？
4）你最感谢哪位音乐家或哪种类型的音乐？
5）你最感激的是什么，它为你的日常生活带来了美好？
6）你最感激哪种形式的锻炼或体育活动？
7）你最感恩的食物是什么？
8）你最感激哪家本地商店或餐馆？它如何提升了你的生活质量？
9）你最感激哪本书？为什么？
10）在你的人生中，哪件善事对你的影响最大？
11）哪些具有挑战性的经历最终使你的生活变得更好？
12）你最感激哪种艺术形式：音乐、表演、写作、绘画、素描……还是其他什么？

One of the highest reasons of a nation,a person was being graced before The universal authority[god],is not the intelligence nor good conducts. But simply being highly gratitude for every single good thing one could ever rejoiced.Realizing it, annouce it, and teaching it to others. Unfortunately, very few could realize how importance this is. more over, we easily identify individuals of such sense, such quality; but they don't know the correct way of expressing it.
I love this idea we do the tradition "what are you thankful for" .. but you cabn bet i will be upping the gratitude meter next year (i am in canada ,so ours is past for this year) thank you so much for this idea :)
Thank you so much for the post! I am always trying to challenge my family members to think outside the box and I'm usually met with groans and rolling of eyes. This will get them thinking creatively without as much effort :) I'm also going to come up with child-similar questions so that my small nieces and nephews can play along too! I am grateful for having subscribed to this site! :)
Thanks , so wonderful just reading these questions fills me with gratitude
