4 . A family is very important to everyone. A strong family can help people feel good. It can also help make a better (更好的) world. Today both parents and children are busy, so they spend only a little time together every day. There are often lots of problems between parents and children. To let people know that the family is everything, the UN started the International Day of Families (国际家庭日) in 1994. The International Day of Families is on May 15th every year. People in many countries celebrate (庆祝) the day with their family. They do many things, like having dinner together or having a talk with each other.

The International Day of Families is also a time to talk about family problems all over the world. But people in some places think that’s not enough. So they have their Family Day. Children don’t go to school on that day. They stay at home and spend time with their families. They always have a good time and become closer.
