Friendship Day takes place on the first Sunday of
August every year. It is one day of the year we can say “thank you” to our
friends. The tradition began in the USA in 1935 and has slowly spread
around the world. The U.S. Congress declared Friendship Day as a national
celebration. It still has a way to go before it is as popular as Mother’s Day
and Father’s Day. On Friendship Day people spend time with their friends and
exchange presents. Some people send cards, write special songs or bake friendship
cakes. One great way to celebrate is to make a poster or create an album about
your friend or friends and gifts flowers.Perhaps include Winnie the Pooh on it because the
United Nations made Pooh the world’s Ambassador of Friendship in 1997.
Friends are extremely important to us. They are often
like members of our own family. In fact, any people spend more time with their
friends than with their relatives. People also tell their friends more secrets.
We start friendships almost from the time we can walk. Everyone has special
childhood friends, and some of these become lifelong friends. We usually meet
out best friends early on in our life. Best friends usually stay best friends
forever. Nowadays the Internet has changed the way we make friends. Many people
strike up friendships online.
