Father’s Day originated from America. On the third Sunday of June every year, all the fathers will receive lots of gifts and greetings from their children. Father’s Day is coming. Are you ready to send your father a gift? What will you send?
父亲节起源于美国。在每年六月的第三个星期日这天，每个父亲都会收到来自他们孩子的礼物和问候。父亲节就要到了，你准备给你的爸爸送一份礼物了吗？你打算送什么礼物呢？ If you can’t see your dad on Father’s Day, then write him a card or electronic card(电子卡片), or call your dad, telling him you love him. If you can spend Father’s Day with him, you can cook a meal yourself or just help your mother to cook some food your father likes. This meal surely will let him remember you. After the meal, you can give him a warm hug(拥抱), because it can express how much you care for him.
如果在父亲节那天你见不到你爸爸，那就给他写一张卡片或者电子卡片，或者打电话给他告诉他你很爱他。如果你可以和他一起过父亲节，你可以自己做或者帮你妈妈做一顿饭，做一些爸爸爱吃的菜。吃完饭后，给爸爸一个温暖的拥抱，因为拥抱可以表达你有多在乎他。 If your father is a workaholic(工作狂), an eyepatch(眼罩) is a good choice. An eyepatch ensures fathers who fly a lot a good sleep even on airplanes. You can also send your father a CD of light
music. It can be difficult for busy fathers to fall asleep when they have too many things on mind. Light music can help clear the mind and get prepared for sleep. Watches and pens are the two important things for a man. Send your father a watch or a pen so that he has your company(陪伴) even in his office.
如果你的爸爸是个工作狂，眼罩会是一个很好的选择。眼罩可以保证那些经常要坐飞机的爸爸们即使在飞机上也有好的睡眠。你也可以送给你爸爸一张轻音乐的CD。对那些忙碌的爸爸们来说，当他们想太多事情的时候很难入睡。轻音乐可以帮助理清思绪，有助于睡眠。手表和钢笔对男人来说是很重要的两样东西。送给你爸爸一只手表或一支钢笔，那样的话，即使是在办公室，他也会有你陪伴。
Here are some expressions of fathers.
“That is the thankless position of the father in the family—the supporter for all, and the enemy of all.”
——August Strindberg
