父亲节的英语作文范文

　　Fathers Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mothers Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time.

　　The origins of the celebrati on are American and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. He was a veteran of the US Civil War and his wife died giving birth to their sixth child. He raised six children alone without remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.

　　His daughter, Sonora Dodd, realised when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his children. It was in the early 1900s and she was actually at church one day, listening to a sermon on Mothers Day. She thought there should also be a Fathers Day celebration.

　　And so the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonoras fathers death. Britain took the idea of Fathers Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s

　　The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special. .

　　The origin of Father‘s Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father‘s Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.

　　Regardless of when the first true Father‘s Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. She thought of the idea for Father‘s Day while listening to a Mother‘s Day sermon in 1909.

　　Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.

　　After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father‘s birthday.

　　That date was too soon for herminister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father‘s Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.

　　In early times, wearing floowers was a traditional way of celebrating Father‘s Day. Mrs. Dodd favored the red rose to honor a father still living, while a white flower honored a deceased dad. J.H. Berringer, who also held Father‘s Day celebrations in Washington State as early as 1912, chose a white lilac as the Father‘s Day Flower.

　　States and organizations began lobbying Congress to declare an annual Father‘s Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations."

　　Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June. In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father‘s Day and put the official stamp on a celebration that was going on for almost half a century.

　　When children can‘t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical(奇形怪状的，异想天开的)so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.

　　爸爸，父亲节快乐(Happy Fathers Day,Dad)

　　Dear Dad，

　　Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

　　You’ll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together. I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with you. I’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

　　亲爱的爸爸：

　　今天我在商场的时候, 我读了好长时间的有关“父亲节”的贺卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特别，也或多或少地表达出了我对您的感受。我挑选读过一次后，又挑选读了一遍，但那并不是一张贺卡所能表达出我想对您说的话的。

　　爸爸，很快您就要84岁了，您和我也将度过这第55个“父亲节”。“父亲节”的那天，我总是不能和您在一起，连您过生日的时候我也是这样，但这并不是因为我不想陪在您身边。其实，在我心里，我总是和您在一起。不过，有的时候，生活也会有差错。
