- enhance (n)
- support (v)

* While - writing.
In my opinion, it’s important to have a day to celebrate for our parents.
The first reason for this is that, on these occasions, children can express their feelings, memories and great love for their parents. We have an opportunity to enhance family traditions. Besides members of families can get together and be closer.
I think first Sunday of April is the most suitable day to celebrate because Sunday is a day off so




everyone is free from work or study. Moreover,April is in the late spring or early summer, and the weather is fine, so many activities can be held outdoor.
It’s not necessary to have parties but it’s good idea to have a family gathering when members have a meal together. Children should give parents flowers, cards or special cakes. We can serve parents the food parents like best.
In conclusion, I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and want parents to be happy.

- T asks, Ss answer the questions.
* Post – Writing.
Will you find a suitable day to celebrate for your mother or father?
