April 27 is a special day in Britain. It's called 'Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day'. It was brought to Britain in 1994 from America. On that day thousands of children take a day off
1 and go with one of their parents to their work places. By doing this, it can teach young boys and girls more about the 2 where they live. This day is more than just taking the child to work. It's about learning real world experiences. Some things can't be taught in the classroom.
Now the children can have a close look at what their parents are doing. This may help them when they have to 3 a job.
Mary, a girl of 17, experienced a day of work at her mother's office. This helped he
4 her mother's work better. She said that this made her feel more confident about her future. Schools and many companies support the activity, too. Some schools 5 make the day a necessary part of school life. It is thought that teenagers with more self-confidence are more likely （可能的） to be successful than common boys and girls. If parents can set good examples both at 6 and at home for them, they will do better than others. Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day is surely a step in the right way.
