Dear Xia Yu,

Do you know that there are two special days for parents in America? One is Mother …s Day on the sencond Sunday of Mary, and the other is Father?s Day on the third Sunday of June. On these two days, American children often gift to their parents or take them out for lunch or dinner.

Common gifts are flowers and cards for mothers and shirts or ties for fathers.I heard that it is becoming more and more popular to celebrate Mother?s Day and Father?s Day in China. I wonder if children over there also give similar gifts to their parents. I believe that there are many ways to show our love. Actually, we don?t have to spend a lot of money. It is also a good idea to help parents to do something instead.

2b Read the passage about Chistmas and answer the questions.

1.What are the common things that people think of for Christmas?

2.Who wrote A Christmas Carol?

3.What is the true meaning or spirit of Christmas?

The Spirit of Christmas

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probaly think of gifts,

Christmas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning

of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around

us. The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this. A Chistmas

Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man

named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only thinks about

himself. He doesn?t treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he can make

more money and he hates Christmas. One Chistmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of

Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge, so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn?t want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him.

That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Then the second spirit , the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the future. Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning-Christmas Day!

He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
