Kathy looked at her new room’s white walls. “They’re so plain.” “Don’t worry,” Dad said, “If you don’t like them, we WILL MAKE the walls any colour you like.” “Do you want pink?” Mum suggested. Kathy SHOOK her head. “No, pink is either for BABIES or for silly girls who like Barbie dolls. I’m neither of those.” Her parents smiled but DIDN'T SAY anything. “But what colour to choose? I wish we COULD ask a designer for professional advice,” said Kathy. “Oh, no! It’s out of the question!” said Kathy’s mother, firmly. A designer’s advice is much MORE EXPENSIVE than we can afford.” “Ok. It was just an idea.” “Getting back to the wall colour, why not make your room yellow or orange?” Dad suggested. “When the walls ARE PAINTED in those colours, the room will look cheerful.” “Yes!” Kathy definitely liked the idea. “We’ll make three walls yellow, but the FOURTH one will be orange.” The next day, when Kathy came back from school, her Dad said: “Look what I HAVE BOUGHT.” There were paints and brushes on the floor. “Everything’s ready for us to start.” He smiled and handed Kathy the brush.

Father's Day in the UK is on the third Sunday in June. We enjoy this day very much and always arrange celebration at home. Our dad deserves it – he is the most amazing person I’ve ever met. He works as a train driver and he loves his job, though it takes time and energy. He cannot spend lots of time with us, but when he is at home, we have a fantastic time all together. Dad is a very creative person and often invents new games for us. There are three children in our family and we always prepare a present for our dad together. Last time it was a large, coloureful (? coloured) book about the history of trains. The book starts with the invention of the first train and tells the whole story of the railway up to the present day.
