- Ask Ss to write a letter individually to a friend to tell him /her about why they want to celebrate Mother’s day or Father’s day in Viet Nam and how to celebrate it.
-Write a letter individually
*Suggested writing.
	Dear Minh,
	I’m writing to you to tell my idea about an important celebration. In my opinion, it is necessary to have a day to celebrate for our parents in our country.
The main reason is children will have a special day to express their feelings, memories and love for their parents. Moreover, we have an opportunity to enhance family traditions. On this occasion, members of families can have a chance to get together, to know one another and to help one another
I think the time to celebrate that day should be on Sunday because Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study. And the most suitable time is in Spring or Autumn because the weather is usually fine.
On that day, all the children should return to their parents’ house. They should have a family party with special food. Children should serve their parents the food that they like best. Children should give their parents flower, bring them a special cake or send them cards. It’s not necessary to give our parents expensive gifts because our parents understand the meaning of our deeds.
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.
Love
 Yours: 
 Hong Ngoc
