People in many countries have Father's Day. But they don't have it on the same day.
In the US, Father's Day is on the third Sunday of June. Some Chinese people have Father's Day on August 8. The Chinese words "eight" and "father" sound the same. So August 8 ("baba") sounds like "father" in Chinese.
Father's Day has a very short history. Where does the idea for the holiday come from? We should thank an American. In 1909 she wrote letters to some important people. In her letter she advised to make Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. They agreed with(同意) her. In June in 1910, people celebrated the first Father's Day in Washington.
On this day, children can show their love to their fathers. Some children may make cards or give presents to their fathers. On the cards, children will write "Thanks, father", "Best wishes for Father's Day" and so on. Father's Day is also a day for families to get together at home or in the restaurants.
Father's Day is a day for Dad. Good dads do a lot for children, it's lucky for a child to have a good dad.
