初中父親節的英語作文 篇1

　　Father's Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males, just as Mother's Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Father's Day is celebrated on different days in different countries.

　　Father's Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Father's Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, March 19, though in most countries Father's Day is a secular celebration.

　　In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other children's programs commonly have activities to make Father's Day gifts.

　　In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father's Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father's death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

　　Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

　　Once， when I was a teenager， my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus。 Finally， there was only one family between us and the ticket counter。

　　This family made a big impression on me。 There were eight children， all probably under the age of 12。 You could tell they didnt have a lot of money。

　　Their clothes were not expensive， but they were clean。 The children were well—behaved， all of them standing in line， two—by—two behind their parents， holding hands。 They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns， elephants， and other acts they would see that night。

　　One could sense they had never been to the circus before。 It promised to be a highlight of their young lives。 The father and mother were at the head of the pack， standing proud as could be。

　　The mother was holding her husbands hand， looking up at him as if to say， "Youre my knight in shining armor。"

　　He was smiling and basking in pride， looking back at her as if to reply， "You got that right。"

　　The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted。 He proudly responded， "Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus。"

　　The ticket lady quoted the price。 The mans wife let go of his hand， her head dropped， and his lip began to quiver。 The father leaned a little closer and asked， "How much did you say？"

　　The ticket lady again quoted the price。 The man didnt have enough money。

　　How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn‘t have enough money to take them to the circus？ Seeing what was going on， my dad put his hand in his pocket， pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground。 （We were not wealthy in any sense of the word！）

　　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
