Father's Day

     Father's Day, the third Sunday of June, is just around the corner. We are looking forward to its

coming because it's of great significance for us.Father is not a thankless position in a family, so a simple call with regards makes a difference.

    The other day, my study group discussed on holidays. I was of the opinion that we Chinese should have a holiday like the Westner's Thanksgiving Day. You may say Mother's Day and Father's count, but they are global holidays, not our national ones.Don't you think so?

    Here is why:

    There is so much to thank:

  The earthquake has presented so many moving social groups: teachers who sacrificed themselves to save students. Armymen who went all out to do the earthquake relief work. And the volunteers as well as ordinary people who donated both money and blood...Why don't we establish a Thanksgiving Day in memory of their great deeds?

   To give thanks can contribute to public morality. Many people are lack of gratefulness. A formal holiday can help them appreciate life and people around, thus sparking their sense of happiness. Mother's Day reminds us of the greatness of a mother, and Father's Day reminds us of that of a father. A national Thanksgiving Day will make a real difference.

    Word has it that Father's Day was established following a girl's proposal in honor of all the fathers including hers. Here, I advise we should have our own national Thanksgiving Day in honour of all the great people in this nation.
