Question

Father’s Day has a very short history .It was started because there was a Mother’s Day ,and just because some Americans thought that if we had a Mother’s Day, we should also have a Father’s Day. Father’s Day has become important in North America. And shopkeepers(店主) found it was a good way to get people to buy presents for their fathers, the presents from their shops.

By the way ,very few countries have a Father’s Day,though some have Children’s day ,or a special day for boys and another for girls. More and more countries are having Mother’s Day ,so maybe Father’s day will also become popular before too long. Now , what do people in North America do on Father’s Day ? The newspapers, radios, and TV tell children what they should do— buy a Father’s Day present for her father. They even tell a wife to buy a Father’s Day present—not for her father but for her husband, even if he is not yet a father. And they tell grandchildren to buy a Father’s Day present for their grandfathers.

The important thing to remember about Father’s Day is that American children can show their love to their fathers in more open way.
