Who to be honored if you can create a holiday for them, how to celebrate it.

[Hoale]

Holidays honor people or events. If you could create a new holiday, what person or event would it honor and how would you want people to celebrate it? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

“Mom, when's the day for brothers and sisters?” That was what I questioned my mother times after times when I was a child. Because her answer was “I don't know”, I kept wondering about it until several years afterwards, the time when I can surf the Internet or go to a local library to look for the answer. There is no such day! Or at least, there is no day to celebrate brotherhood in my country. Therefore, if I can create a holiday, I would dedicate it to those people who have sisters or brothers.

It is necessary to have a day like sister's day or brother's day because our siblings are the most close people to us as well as our parents. They share our lovely and memorable childhood. They also grow up beside us and help us in many ways. With their existence, we can learn a number of precious lessons about family's value and sharing. For example, since my younger brother was born, I have realised how great it would be if I give him the bigger proportion of any foods; we smile and eat together. Life becomes more meaningful when we have our siblings.

In such a day, people who have brothers or/and sisters should gather at one's house and spend the whole day with each others to celebrate it. Family's memories are so worthy that they should be honored by retelling among all family's members. Every person will express their love and their appreciation towards others. That people now travel to different places during their lives makes this day a reunion every year. As a consequence, the traditional value of family will always be reserved.

In conclusion, I think I would make a day the brother's or sister's day if it is possible. Our siblings need to be honored for their contributions and influence through out our lives, from the day we are only juveniles to the day we are olders.

Hi Mr. Kitosdad :)
I wonder which verb tense should I use in this essay?
I find it so confused.

It is necessary to have a day like sister's day or brother's day because our siblings are the most closeST people to us IN ADDITION TO our parents. They share our lovely and memorable childhood. They also grow up beside us and help us in many ways. With their existence, we can learn a number of precious lessons about family valueS and sharing. For example, AFTER my younger brother was born, I have THOUGHT how great it would be if I gAve him the bigger proportion of any food; we smile and eat together. Life becomes more meaningful when we have our siblings.

ON such a day, people who have brothers or/and sisters should gather at one's house and spend the whole day with each other to celebrate it. Family's memories are so worthy that they should be honored by retelling among all family's members. Every person will express their love and their appreciation towards others.

In conclusion, I think I would make a day the brother's or sister's day if it is possible. Our siblings need to be honored for their contributions and influence (throughout) our lives, from the day we are juveniles to the day we are Elders.
