有天老師請小明用Green,Pink,Yellow三種顏色造句，
小明想了老半天，終於開口說話了：Green...Green...Green..., I pink the phone and say yellow.

Mother's Day is on the 2nd Sunday of May. What about Father's Day?
母親節是五月的第二個星期日，那父親節呢 ? |
|

In Taiwan, Mother's Day is on the 2nd Sunday of May
and Father's Day is on August 8th. However, Americans
celebrate their Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday of
June. The idea of Father's Day was proposed by a daughter
of William Smart. William raised up six children by
himself after his wife died in childbirth with their
6th child. His daughter realized his father's strength
and selflessness as a single parent, so she proposed
such a day for all fathers.
在台灣，母親節是五月的第二個星期二，父親節則是8月8日。然而，美國人是在每年六月的第三個星期二慶祝父親節。父親節的這個想法是由威廉史密斯的女兒所提出的。在威廉的太太死於第六胎分娩之後，威廉獨自扶養起六個小孩。威廉的女兒感受到他父親身為一個單親父親的力量和無私，所以提出這一天來獻給天下父親。 |

故事中提到了兩種日期的寫法
1. the 2nd Sunday of May – 五月的第二個星期天
the 3rd Sunday of June– 六月的第三個星期天
2. August 8th 8月8日
所以，如果要用第一種方法寫日期的話，August 8th = the 8th of August |
