minutes)
* 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
