Bài 4 - Mother's day

On the second Sunday in May, American children try to do something special for their mothers. It is one day out of the year when children, young and old, try to show how much they love their mothers.
England is one of the first countries which have Mother’s Day. English people call it “Mothering Sunday”. In the United States, Mother’s Day became a holiday in 1916.

An American girl- Anna Jarvis- wanted to do something to her mother. Her mother- Mrs. Jarvis was a wonderful mother. She was the source of love and strength for the whole family.

Sadly she died on May 5, 1905. After her death, Anna wrote a letter to the government to ask for a day on which all the mothers in the country were honored.

The government agreed and decided to choose the second Sunday in May to be the Mother’s Day. Nowadays, Mother’s Day is popular in many countries in the world.
