The winter holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip. If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we go to places of an interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many money, yet we can still learn a lot.
A.Enjoying their honeymoon. | B.Attending a wedding. | C.Seeing a movie. |

7 . May is a beautiful month full of sunshine and flowers. It is also the month when we show thanks to our mothers on Mother’s Day.
In my family, Mother’s Day celebration is different every year. Two years ago, I made breakfast for my mom and she still remembers all the dishes I cooked. Last year, I bought her a selfie stick (自拍杆) with the money that I made from selling some of my old books. She uses it all the time.
I wanted to do something special on this “quarantined” (隔离) Mother’s Day due to the coronavirus (新冠病毒) outbreak. In April, I started to search for different gift ideas on the internet. Finally, I decided to make multiple cards by hand and make a box out of the cards. It took me a long time to make it. I then put a small bag of colorful chocolates in the box. The messages I wrote on the cards were some small favors I could do for my mom, such as wash-ing dishes.
On the night before Mother’s Day, I asked my mom to go to sleep early so that I could go into her room and put the present next to her bed. When she woke up, she was very excited a-bout my gift and spent a lot of time looking at every tiny detail of the box.
My mom is my hero and she has sacrificed (牺牲) her career to take care of me. I am glad that there is a special day in May for me to honor my mom and show her my thanks and love.
