V. Correction

In my opinion, it is necessary to have a day to celebrate for our parents. On these occasions, children will have a special day to express their feeling, memories and love for their parents. We have an opportunity to enhance family traditions. Members of families can have a chance to get together, to know one another and to help each other. I think the first Sunday of April is suitable. Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study. Besides, April is late Spring or early summer, so the weather is generally fine at this time of the year, many activities can happen outdoor.

Suggested writing

It is not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or diner with all members of the family. Children should give their parents flowers, send them cards, or bring special cakes. Moreover, children should serve their parents the food that they like best. I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy.

VI. Homework

• Write this writing on your notebooks.

• Prepare: Language focus:

M-O-T-H-E-R

"M" is for the million things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old,

"T" is for the tears she shed to save me, "H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining, "R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER"

A word that means the world to me.
