(1.0 pt) In the United States, people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this occasion, mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts from her husband and children. The best gift of all for an American Mom is a day of leisure. The majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their working days are often very hard. The working mother enjoys the traditional Mother’s Day custom of breakfast (or brunch) cooked by her family and served to her on a tray in bed. Later in the day, it’s also traditional for extended family groups to get together for dinner, either in a restaurant or in one of their homes. Flowers are important part of Mother’s Day. Mothers are often given a corsage or a plant for the occasion, particularly if they are elderly. Father’s Day is celebrated throughout the United States and Canada on the third Sunday in June. The holiday customs are similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives greeting cards and gifts from his family and enjoys a day of leisure. Questions: When do American people celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day? What kinds of gifts does the mother often get from her family members? Why are mother’s working days often very hard? What are the similar things that father gets on Father’s Day? Question VI. Fill in each blank with one suitable word from the box.
