本篇適合：朗讀，復(fù)述

六月的第三個(gè)周日就是西方的父親節(jié)了。雖然我國(guó)沒(méi)有設(shè)立正式的父親節(jié)，但在民間，很多人也會(huì)選擇在這天對(duì)父親表達(dá)愛(ài)意。同學(xué)們有沒(méi)有打算在父親節(jié)當(dāng)天給爸爸一個(gè)驚喜或者向爸爸表達(dá)一下謝意呢？編輯老師給大家出個(gè)主意吧——大家可以自己制作一張小賀卡，在上面用英文寫寫自己愛(ài)爸爸的理由，然后給爸爸畫(huà)幅簡(jiǎn)筆肖像畫(huà)。相信爸爸收到這樣一張賀卡一定會(huì)很開(kāi)心的喲（同學(xué)們也可以把自己的佳作拍給我們）。這期主題，讓我們來(lái)看看世界各地的小朋友們都有哪些“愛(ài)爸爸”的理由吧。
