(17 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.
