Or, is there any particular flower we give to our moms in Mother’s Day? Let’s discuss these interesting topics with your friends or students! Not long ago, a lady, Miss Anna M. Jarvis, was very close to her mother. She kept single in order to take care of her blind sister after her mother died in May of 1905. However, she missed her mother very much, so she began to write many letters to some important people and suggested to make mother’s day a national day. Because of her efforts, the U.S. government decided to make May 8, 1914, the second Sunday in May Mothers Day, an official national holiday. Because Anna M. Jarvis’s mother liked carnations very much, today people always give carnations to their mothers on this special day. But you should remember one more thing, some people believe that the red carnation should be given to a mother who is alive; the white one is for a mother who has died. 【中譯文【中譯文】】 【【中譯文中譯文】】 你曾經想過為何人們總在五月的第二個週日慶祝母親節呢？或是我們都會在這個專屬於母親 的日子裡送給她們哪一種特定的花呢？現在，就讓大家一起來討論吧！ 不久以前，一位 Anna M. Jarvis 小姐和他的母親相處的非常好。但是自從她的母親在 1905 年的 5 月過世以後，Anna 便獨立照顧她雙眼失明的姊姊並且終生未嫁。然而，由於 Anna 十分 想念她的母親便開始寫信給一些當時很有地位的大人物宣揚紀念母親的重要，並且建議人們應該 要訂出一個特別的日子用來紀念偉大的母親。由於她的努力不懈，美國政府在 1914 年 5 月 8 日 宣佈將每一年 5 月的第二個星期日訂為母親節，同時也成為官方例假日的一天。 由於Anna 的母親最鍾愛的花朵是康乃馨,因此人們便選擇在母親節送給母親們漂亮的康乃 馨！還有一件事情我們必須要知道的，那就是據說紅色的康乃馨通常都會被送給那些身體尚健在 的母親們，如果母親已經離開人世的話，最好選擇白色的康乃馨喔！ 1 Lesson Plan for Mother’s Day 【【For Reference Only】】 【【 】】 Teaching goal: Enable students to understand and thank for the
