1909年，美国的索诺拉•道得呼吁建立父亲节。She wanted to honor her own father. 她的父亲是一个老兵。她的母亲在生孩子的时候去世了。Her father raised six children by himself. 在索诺拉•道得的努力下，人们接受了设立父亲节的建议，并确定6月份的第三个星期天为Father's Day。因为索诺拉父亲的生日是在6月。Nowadays many countries celebrate Father's Day, though not all on the same day.
Most countries celebrate Father's Day as the United States does. In Australia, Father's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September. 许多天主教徒将圣约瑟夫日（St. Joseph's Day）当作父亲节，因为约瑟夫是耶稣的父亲。St. Joseph's Day is March 19th.
Father's Day is an important day. It is a good chance to show your love to your father.
这个周日就是父亲节了，别忘了向老爸表达你的心意哦！A yellow rose could be a good idea. A sunflower is also a good choice. You can send your father a card, too. Don't forget to write your wishes on the card! 父亲们也很伟大。They do a lot for us. 他们用强壮的身躯保护我们的家。Tell your father you love him. 每一天都该向老爸表示你的孝心哦！
