Dear Minh,
This morning I just learned a lesson about Father's day. It was really interesting. In Vietnam, however, people do not celebrate Mother's day or Father's day. In my opinion, it's necessary/important/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 pecial day to express their feelings, their memories and their love to their parents. In addition, we'll have an opportunity to enhance family traditions as well as a chance to get all members of families together in order to bring the closer.
I think Sunday is the most suitable day for celebrating because it's a day off so everybody is free from work or study.
It's not necessary 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 think about my idea, Minh? I believe it will be supported and the day for our parents will be celebrated nationwide someday.
Yours,Thanh
