感恩母亲每一天
People celebrate Mother’s Day by attending church and writing letters to their mothers. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day on different days and at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May.
Today, Mother’s Day is a day honoring mothers, when you thank your mother’s dedication(奉献) to your life and pay a tribute to her, often with flowers and cards. But of course, we should not need a special day once a year to do this. We can and should express our love and care for our mothers every day, and do things for her every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
THINGS TO DO FOR MOTHERS
★Gifts would surely please her.
★Do something she likes together. Spend a whole day with her.
★Take her somewhere she likes to go.
★Spend time making a special card for her listing out why she is special and why you love her.

THINGS NOT TO DO FOR MOTHERS
★Wake up late and make her wait for you.
★Have an untidy bedroom or messy house.
★Talk on your cellphone or send messages all the time.
★Let her do housework on Mother’s Day!
