Johnson，our new music teacher，taught us"Mother"，a beautiful song about our love for mothers．And Miss Alice told us the story of Mother's Day．The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna of Philadelphia （费城）．As a result of her hard work，the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held in Philadelphiaon May 10，1908．Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world．
