The outline on page 70 will help Ss to write easily. Individual work Suggested writing: In my opinion, it is essential 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 familiescan 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. It is not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or diiner 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 suprted and the day will becelebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents andwant theirparents to be happy.
