Age Day". On this day, twenty-year-olds celebrate by first going to a shrine (神庙) with their families. Later,
they listen to speeches given by city and school leaders. After that, many get together with family late into the

     Mother"s Day and Father"s Day are two big national holidays in many western countries. And it"s interesting 
because they are not the same in every country. In England, Mothering Sunday is in March. In America and 
Cermany and other countries, it"s one Sunday in May. Fathfer"s Day is in the middle of June.  How do you 
celebrate Mother"s Day and Father"s Day? Let"s learn something more about it from the following introduction.

     In England, we call Mother"s Day Mothering Sunday, because it"s always on a Sunday.  I 
don"t really know the origin of it but I remember that my mother had a cup of tea early in the 
morning. And then we would go to church. And at the end of the church service, the children  would collect a daffodil (水仙花) and take it back and give ic to our mother who would 
normally be sitting in the service in the church. And really that"s all we did to celebrate the
day.
     As Ann said, I remember taking cups of tea to my mother.  The idea in general is that the 
washing-up would be done; perhaps some cooking would be done on Mother"s Day.  We 
would try to relieve her of all those jobs to make it a special day for her, so that whenever 
she looked around, there was something to eat, something to drink, or something to read, or
something interesting for her to do.
     Father"s Day is always in June, a Sunday in the middle of June.  On Father"s Day, the idea
 is to find something fun that the children could do with their father together.  I remember
 going to baseball games. I think that on Father"s Day it"s particularly focused on doing things 
together because that is supposed to be relaxing and fun for Dad.
