* Write. P.70:
- Question - Answer:
- Individually, students write a letter to
his / her friend to share the idea: "It is
necessary to have a day to celebrate for
Mom and another for Dad?"
For example:
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 feelings,
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 another and to help one another.
- I think first Sunday of April is
suitable, Sunday is a day off so
everybody is free from work or studey.
April is in late Spring or early Summer,

and the weather is generally fine at
this time of the year, many activities
can happen outdoors.
- It is not necessary to have parties but
it is a good idea to have lunch or
dinner with all members of family.
Children should give their parents
flowers, send them cards or bring them
a special cake. 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.
II. Answer these questions:
1. Why should we celebrate this day?
2. When to celebrate?
3. How to celebrate?
4. What special gifts to give?
5. What special food to offer?
6. Do you think your idea will be celebrated
nationwide?
III. Write:
Example:
Dear Minh,
This morning I just learned a lesson about
Father's Day. It was really intersting. In
Vietnam, however, people do not celebrate

Mother
s' Day or Farther s'Day. In my opinion, it s'
nesessary/ impotant/essential to have a day
to celebrate for Mom and another day for
Dad.
There are lots of reasons for celebrating
these days,but the main
reasons are the children will have a special
day to express their fellings, their memories
and their love to their parents. In addition,
we 'll have an oportunity to enhance family
traditions as well as a chance to get all
members of families together in order to
bring them closer.
I thing Sunday is the most suitable day for
celebrating because it's a day of so
everybody is free from work or study.
It's not necessery to have parties, but it's a
good idea to have lunch or
dinner with all family members. In
this special day, children should serve their
parents (with) the food they like best and
offer them flowers, cakes or special gifts
and cards.
What do you thing about my idea, Minh? I
believe it will be suppoted
and the day for our parents will be
celebrated nationwide someday.
Your,
Thanh.
