I am writing to tell you that we should celebrate days for our parents.
Writing:
In my opinion I think it’s important for us to have a day to celebrate for our parents. It will be a day for us to express our feelings, memories and love for our parents. Family members can have a chance to get together to enhance family traditions. It will be also a day to bring family members closer.
We should celebrate it on the first Sunday in August. Because it’s a day off and everyone is free from work and study. It’s a good idea to have a warmly party with all family members in a restaurant. Our parents should be given some beautiful flowers, greeting cards and special gifts which they like. And they also should be severed the food they like best.
I hope that my idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents so much and wants their parents to be happy.
