       Mother's Day and Father's Day are two big national holidays in many western countries. And it's
interesting because they are not the same in every country. In England, Mothering Sunday is in March. In America and Germany and other countries, it's one Sunday in May. Father's Day is in the middle of June. How do you celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day? Let's learn something more about it from the
following introduction.
       In England, we call Mother's Day Mothering Sunday, because it's always on a Sunday. I don't really
know the origin of it but I remember that my mother had a cup of tea early in the morning. And then we
would go to church. And at the end of the church service, the children would collect a daffodil (水仙花)
and take it back and give it to our mother who would normally be sitting in the service in the church. And
really that's all we did to celebrate the day.

       As Ann said, I remember taking cups of tea to my mother. The idea in general is that the washing-up would be done; perhaps some cooking would be done on Mother's Day. We would try to relieve her of
all those jobs to make it a special day for her, so that whenever she looked around, there was something
to eat, something to drink, or something to read, or something interesting for her to do.

       Father's Day is always in June, a Sunday in the middle of June. On Father's Day, the idea is to find
something fun that the children could do with their father together. I remember going to baseball games. I
think that on Father's Day it's particularly focused on doing things together because that is supposed to be
relaxing and fun for Dad.

       Jogging is basically running at a steady (稳定的) speed over short or long distances. It became 
popular twenty years ago and has remained a favorite way of keeping fit for lots of people.
       One of the main advantages of jogging over many other sports is that it can be done anywhere. 
People jog in parks, in the countryside and even in urban areas. No special equipment is required—no 
costly hats, or balls, and no expensive sports kit. Good quality running shoes are advisable. Special 
jogging suits are widely available these days and can be bought quite cheaply but are not necessary. In 
addition to being able to jog anywhere, you can also jog at any time, in any season! It’s not unusual to
 see joggers exercising in the height of summer or in the depth of winter!

       The act of jogging doesn’t require any special training or skill. You do need to be basically healthy
and then, after a few basic warm-up bends and stretches, you are ready to begin. You simply start running, gently, and then build up to a steady speed. Do not over-tire yourself by trying to go too fast. It’s best
for you to run at a steady and comfortable speed.
       Jogging is a single sport. You don’t need to wait until you have gathered a team or found a partner. You can jog alone. A few words of warning however: lone women joggers should be especially careful
to choose jogging routes, particularly at night time.
       Jogging is excellent for keeping fit. It’s good for the lungs, the heart and the circulation. It’s easy
and it’s convenient. Why don’t you try it? If you require more information, talk to one of the instructors at the sports centre. We are only too happy to help. Please remember: if you do decide to jog, talk to your doctor first if you have any health worries. Happy jogging!

     For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes
 are in fashion?" And they use the adjective "fashionable" in the same way: "She was wearing a fashionable
 color. "
     But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in
 restaurants, in films, books and Internet. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.
      Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see
 that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson's in 1860.
      Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly
 than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and televisions send information from one country to
 another in a few hours.
