Tapescript
The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. It is a public holiday in both Britain and
America. On that day children send Mother’s Day cards to their mothers. They give their
mothers flowers or sweets as presents. Fathers and children do the cooking and housework so
that mothers can have a rest.
In the USA, Mother’s Day started in the 1860s. There was a small town called
Pruntytown in the middle of the USA. People in the town fought against each other during a war.
After the war they hated each other. Mrs. Ann Reeves Jarvis wanted the people to make friends
with each other again. So she started “Mother’s Friendship Day”. On that day she visited all the
other mothers in the town and said: “Let us be friends with each other again”.
Her idea succeeded. The same thing happened in other parts of the country. After she
died, her daughter carried on her idea. In 1908 Mother’s Friendship Day became Mother’s Day.

(Suggestion)

Pollution has become one of the biggest problems facing the world today. The
main cause of pollution is waste, something which is no longer needed. Waste can be
many things such as used newspaper, dirty water from your washing machine or smoke
from a factory chimney. Some waste is dangerous because it contains poisons. It is the
problem of pollution which is worrying many people and governments today.
