Mother's Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated (庆祝) in the United States, English, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts (礼物) of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink (粉红色) or red rose (玫瑰) or carnation (康乃馨花) , while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10,1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.

In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And , in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast (广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, "Love is invaluable."

On May 8,1999, just the day before the Mother's Day this year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing (罪恶轰炸).Her name is Shao Yunhuan , a heroic (英雄的) mother. All the Chinese will remember her for ever.

When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad (Like many English children, I had often been to France). So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problem.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”

“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

“Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.”
