Surprisingly,the dates and ways of the celebration of Father's Day are not the same everywhere.

Father's Day is celebrated to thank fathers and express gratitude (感激) for their love.In Canada,it is celebrated on the third Sunday in June.People wear roses to express thanks and love for their fathers.This is also a time for a family reunion (团聚),because children often stay away from their family and this is a good time for them to get together with their fathers and other loved ones.But in Australia,it is celebrated on the first Sunday in September.The day is celebrated only in families.A rich breakfast for families is a good way to celebrate Father's Day.In Thailand,Father's Day falls on December 5 every year.All the people have a one-day holiday.You can see many people are in yellow and the streets are decorated in yellow because Father's Day is also the King's birthday.

Some clubs,schools and cultural societies in the United Kingdom and Ireland,Australia,South Africa organize Father's Day parties to provide people an opportunity to celebrate the day to show the importance of father's role in the family and the society.

Camping has always been the best way I know to be outside.Whether you prefer to be in the woods, mountains, or swimming in the river, camping is wonderful.

Before you just take off and go,there are a few things you should know about.First of all you'll need your boots, a tent and of course a backpack.The right boots are an important thing that you'll need.Packs come in all different sizes.For over a week you will need at least a 6,000?inch pack.Your tent should have the main tent, the rain fly (防水布), along with the support (支撑) poles (柱,杆), and these hold up your tent.You should also bring along a piece of ground cloth.This is a piece of plastic that goes under your tent.It can keep your tent dry and clean from the ground.

During the camping, always remember to keep your things dry and keep them in a zip lock bag.Use fires only when you must.Fires scar the land.If you do use a fire,make sure to use it in the fire rings if possible.Keep noise level down.This way you'll have more of a chance to see wildlife.Always remember that hiking depends on your personal health.Never be afraid to ask your hiking partners to stop for a break.It's important.

Finally, keep your camera close by.Make sure you don't miss out on the natural wonders.You'll enjoy them later.It's simply great fun to go on camping!
