There are a lot of festivals in a year. Which one do you like best? My favourite festival is Mother's Day.
Mother's Day comes on the second Sunday of May each year. On that day, I buy some flowers for my mother to thank her for her love.
My mother is very happy and says, "How wonderful the flowers look! Thank you, my daughter!" I say I want to do all the housework（家务）for my beloved mother and she can take a rest（休息）for a day.
After lunch I have another idea. I make a nice card on my computer and send it to her by email. Then I begin to make dinner. When my mother comes home, she is glad to find a big meal on the table. Then I ask her to check her email. She finds a beautiful card in her email box.
In the evening, I wash the feet for my mother. She is very happy.
