編者注：在父親節這天，人們常常佩帶鮮花，表達對父親的敬重和思念。父親節雖沒有母親節那樣隆重，但我們對父母的敬愛之心，都是一樣的。當母親含辛茹苦地照顧我們時，父親也在努力地扮演著他的角色，他們對我們的人生也有著很重要的影響，因此，在父親節這天，大聲地對父親說一句“爸爸，我愛你”吧!

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?Whatwill you send?

父親節起源于美國。在每年六月的第三個星期日這天，每個父親都會收到來自他們孩子的禮物和問候。父親節就要到了，你準備給你的爸爸送一份禮物了嗎？你打算送什么禮物呢？

如果在父親節那天你見不到你爸爸，那就給他寫一張卡片或者電子卡片，或者打電話給他告訴他你很愛他。如果你可以和他一起過父親節，你可以自己做或者幫你媽媽做一頓飯，做一些爸爸愛吃的菜。吃完飯后，給爸爸一個溫暖的擁抱，因為擁抱可以表達你有多在乎他。

如果你的爸爸是個工作狂，眼罩會是一個很好的選擇。眼罩可以保證那些經常要坐飛機的爸爸們即使在飛機上也有好的睡眠。你也可以送給你爸爸一張輕音樂的CD。對那些忙碌的爸爸們來說，當他們想太多事情的時候很難入睡。輕音樂可以幫助理清思緒，有助于睡眠。手表和鋼筆對男人來說是很重要的兩樣東西。送給你爸爸一只手表或一支鋼筆，那樣的話，即使是在辦公室，他也會有你陪伴。
