    Father's Day is a very new festival in British compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular festival in the UK for a long time.

    Father's Day started in America. Once there was a man called William Smith, whose wife died and he had to raise six children by himself His daughter Sonaro, thought when she grew up what her lather had done for them. So she thought that there should be a Father's Day festival. Later, the tradition was born, falling on the third Sunday every June.

    Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the USA and it has been popular since then.

    What do British people do for Father's Day?

    Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well.

    Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don't want them.

    Some families might do things together to celebrate it. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of rest--make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car to make him feel really relaxed.

Wednesday 23 May

Dear Kim,

    We arrived at Holiday Cove on Monday and we are having lots of fun.

The flight was so boring. I nearly fell asleep but at least everything went well—not like last time.

    When we landed we went straight our camp. My cousin Emma is staying next to us.

    I am excited because we are going to visit the crocodile farm tomorrow. Peter is scared and says he wants to go to see the kangaroos instead.

Hello, everyone! I'm Nancy. I am a pupil. I go to school from Monday to Friday, but I don 't like Thursday. I like Monday, because we have music, art and math on Monday. They are all my favourite subjects.

Sally. Andy and Jack are my good friends. Sally is shy. She likes Wednesday, because we have Chinese that day. Andy's favorite subject is science. So he likes Tuesday. Jack doesn't like any subjects. He likes Saturday and Sunday.

Deer: Oh, no. Many birds are standing over there.

They are delicious. (The deer runs away.)

Tiger: Birds, I would like to cat you. You are my dinner.

Birds: You are bad. We can fly, can you? ( The birds fly away. )

Tiger: No, I can't. But where is my dinner?
