读写任务:母亲节我为母亲做了什么和打算做什么 Love our Mothers On Mother’s Day, the author found it hard to say “I love you” to his mother. However, thinking of the kindness of his mother, he was determined to give her an unexpected card with love.(34 words) What the writer did this time is very dutiful. In my opinion, boys can show their respect to their parents as well as girls. They both can express their appreciation to them, because, after all， each parent has paid out so much for their children’s growth.

To celebrate Mother’s Day this year, I bought a bunch of pretty flowers with a card on it， reading, “You are the best mom that a daughter has ever had. I love you, Mum!” From now on, to express my love to my mother, I am going to do more housework ， cooking, washing, cleaning and shopping, which seems to be endless. By doing these, I will come to realize that, as a matter of fact, mum is very toilsome（辛苦的）all the time. （128 words）
