Task3 what to do for mom?
Script
Young men and women, tomorrow will be Mother's Day. Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.
Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a hair clip with a touch of difference. Checked out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and give it to her if you can afford it.
You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a cat’s picture on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.
Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Make her feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.
And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible, take one with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside could show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.
年轻的男女，明天是母亲节。可能你还不知道怎么为你的妈妈做些什么。这是我的建议。
寻找一些她打算买的东西，如果你能负担得起的。例如，一个休闲或正式的办公室着装。或者，它可能是一个有点不同的发夹。寻找她打算买的一个新的微波或新蒸汽熨斗给她如果你能负担得起。
你可以得到一些想法去考虑到她喜欢的和不喜欢的。如果她喜欢猫，如何给她一个宠物或者有猫的图片？但要确保她不会发现你得到的礼物。使她的礼物变成一个惊喜。
当然要花一些时间与她，尤其是如果你不是和她生活在一起。使她感到特别。例如，你可以在那天做一道特色菜。你也可以做一个小聚会，邀请那些她熟悉的人。
当然，如果她喜欢郊游，给他一个旅行。如果可能的话，带一家人。她肯定会喜欢的。毕竟，她一直在照顾你们。农村的特殊的旅游可以告诉她你多么在乎她。如果她是快乐的，我肯定你也会感到高兴。 Key

So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their \family\This included people in their community. All the guests brought food to share for Thanksgiving dinner.

Task2 Father’s Day
Script and key
Father’s Day is fairly new (S1) celebration Britain compared with Mother’s Day, which has been a (S2) popular festival in the U.K. for a very long time.
The origins of celebration are (S3) American, and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. His wife (S4) died giving birth to their sixth child, so he raised six children alone without (S5) remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.
His (S6) daughter, Sonora Dodd, realized when he was an adult what her father sacrificed for his children. It was in the early (S7) 1900s and she was actually in the church one day, listening to a sermon on Monday’ Day. She thought there should be a Father’s Day celebration. So (S8) the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora’s father’s death.
Britain took the idea of Father’s Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s. What do British people do for Father’s Day? Well, most people buy their fathers a card. (S9) The card probably has a nice message on it saying what a great dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for dads are probably ties, chocolates, or socks because these are things that dads can always use even if they don’t want them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Father’s Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, (S10) British people might give their dad a bit of a rest-make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn.
相比母亲节，英国的父亲节是相当新的庆祝节日，这是一个很长一段时间在英国
流行的节日。
庆祝活动的起源美国，来自于一个名叫聪明威廉的人发起。他的妻子生第六个孩
子时去世，所以他养了六个孩子没有再婚，这无疑是不寻常的日子。
他的女儿，索诺拉多德，当他是一个成人时意识到她的父亲为他的孩子而牺牲了
多少。早期的1900年，母亲节这天她在教堂听讲道。她认为应该有一个父亲节去庆祝。所以这个传统就诞生了，在每年六月的第三星期日，接近她的父亲去世周年。
英国从美国庆祝了父亲节得到想法，正式自上世纪70年代就已经开始举办了。
做为英国人父亲节做什么呢？大多数人给父亲买礼物。贺卡可能是一个很好的礼物，它可以述说他们的父亲如何。其他的人也会买一些礼物。对于这些流行的礼物是巧克力，或领带，袜子。因为这些事情，爸爸总是可以经常去使用他们，甚至他们不会想到这些。一些家庭可能会做的事情一起庆祝父亲节去吃饭。作为一种特殊的礼物，英国人可能给他们的爸爸一点休息，让他喝一杯茶，甚至洗车，修剪草坪。
Task3 St.Valentine’s Story
Script
Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army, and he expected men to volunteer to join. Seeing many men did not
want to leave their wives and families, Claudius had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So he passed a law to forbid any more marriages. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!
I was a priest, and one of my favorite activities was to marry couples. I kept on performing marriage ceremonies, secretly. One night, we heard footsteps and shouts of soldiers outside. It was scary! The couple I was marrying escaped in time, but I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.
Then wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed, \
I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day.
让我介绍一下我自己。我的名字叫情人节。我在罗马住了三个世纪。当时，罗马的统治者叫克劳多斯。他想有一个大的军队，他希望人们志愿加入。看到很多人不想离开自己的妻子和家庭，皇帝有一个疯狂的想法。他认为如果男人不结婚，他们就不会介意参军。所以他通过了一项法律，禁止更多的婚姻。我认为这是荒谬的！我当然不打算支持这部法律！
我是一个牧师，和我最喜欢的活动之一为要结婚的夫妇证明。我一直在履行结婚仪式，秘密的。一天晚上，我们听到了外面的士兵脚步声和喊声。这是可怕的！这对夫妇及时逃跑了，但我被抓了。我被关在监狱里，告诉我的惩罚是死刑。
然后奇妙的事情发生了。许多年轻人来监狱探望我。他们扔鲜花和让我注意窗口。他们想让我知道他们也相信爱，。
一个年轻人是监狱看守的女儿。有时候我们会坐下来谈了几个小时。她帮我振奋精神。我死的那一天，我留给了我的朋友一个小纸条感谢她的友谊和忠诚。我写着，“爱你的情人。”
我相信这个情人节开始交换关于的爱情短信的习惯。
