* Suggested letter:
In my opinion, it is important to have a day to celebrate for our parents.
The first reason for this is that, On these occasions, children will have a special day to express their feelings, memories, and great love for their parents. We have an opportunity to enhance family traditions. Besides , members of families can have a chance to get together and to help one another. I think the first Sunday of April is the most suitable day to celebrate because Sunday is the day off so everybody is free from work or study. Moreover, April is in late Spring or early summer, The weather is fine so many activies can happen out door.
It is a good idea to have a family gathering when members have lunch or dinner together.
Children should give their parents flowers, send them cards, or bring them a special cake.
In conclusion, I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy
