[00:01.74]In France, Mother's Day
[00:03.76]is like a family birthday.
[00:06.09]It takes place on the last Sunday
[00:08.37]in May and the whole family
[00:10.73]has a big dinner together at home.
[00:13.83]At the end of the meal,
[00:15.35]the mother receives a beautiful cake
[00:17.39]from her family.In Japan, Mother's Day
[00:21.18]is on the second Sunday in May.
[00:23.92]On that day, children give their mothers
[00:26.63]presents and do the housework for them.
[00:30.29]Every four years, a national exhibition called
[00:33.59]'My Mother'is held to celebrate Mother's Day.
[00:37.53]Many children between the ages of six
[00:40.57]and 14 draw pictures for the exhibition.
[00:44.57]From the largest countries to the smallest ones
[00:48.34]people everywhere celebrate Mother's Day.
[00:51.76]The dates and the ways
[00:53.65]they celebrate may be different,
[00:55.94]but the idea is the same--
[00:58.29]to show love and respect to their mothers.
