Can you imagine that I’m now in the United States, a country so different from China? Everything is new and interesting! I made some friends on the trip over and they have been very kind and helpful. Still, you know how much I miss you and your cooking? My mouth waters at the mere thought of those delectable Chinese dishes you prepare. Last night, my friends invited me to dinner. They had some strange ways of describing their hunger. For instance, there was“I’m starving to death”,“I’m famished”, and“I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse”, which has a similar expression in Chinese; I’m sure you know the one. How about“I’m making a pig of myself”! A little confusing, hmm? Anyway, this stuff may be useful to you
as an English teacher, so I’m also sending a tape. You can listen to our conversation and hear some real modern American English.
Your loving daughter,
Amber
她一路上看见一个蘑菇就采一个蘑菇,采了半篮正往回走呢,突然小兔子发现了一群五彩缤纷的蘑菇,她高兴的跑过去想,“如果我带回去的话,妈妈一定会很高兴的”于是她采了一、二、三、四、五、六、七、八、九、十个色彩艳丽的蘑菇往回走。
回到家后,小兔子看了看,想妈妈不在家,我自己做个礼品包装盒,放进蘑菇给妈妈一个意外的惊喜,于是她找来木板、水粉、锯子开始做了。她为了给自己打气就想“我做、我做、我做做做,我做、我做、我做做做、……”
做好了,我放在哪里呢?小兔子想“对了,拿便签。”小兔子撕了七张便签,分别写上“礼物,客厅的桌上”“礼物,一号房间桌上”“礼物,二号房间桌上”“礼物,三号房间桌上”“礼物,饭桌上”“礼物,厨房”“礼物,洗手间”。然后把礼物放在洗手间,把便签放在相应的地方,等妈妈回来。可是等了好长时间也没回来,突然门铃响了“宝宝,妈妈回来了”小兔子叫起来:“啊!妈妈回来了。”她马上去开门“妈妈,看这儿”,小兔子指着第一张便签说。于是妈妈根据提示顺利的找到了礼物,打开一看“毒蘑菇!”这时小兔子跑过来问:“惊喜吗?”妈妈生气的说:“黄小兔,我早上不是跟你说了吗,黄的、红的、橙的……都不能吃的吗?你没听啊!当然,我不惊喜!”
一束鲜花是礼物,一把泥土是礼物,一根羽毛是礼物,一个微笑也是礼物……不管什么礼物都蕴含着一份真情。
元旦节快到了,我决定送给妈妈一份礼物。
可是,送什么好呢?我开始绞尽脑汁地想了起来:送鲜花?不行,花会凋谢的,再美丽的花也会变得没有意义;送工艺品,唉!太不实用了;送项链,不行,它的价格太昂贵了……唉!还是送实际的吧,这时,我突然想“何不送贺卡呢?”对,就送贺卡,这既能锻炼我的写作能力,又能表达出我对妈妈的爱。
第二天早上,来到学校时,我便给我的好朋友胡清阳说了我的想法,胡清阳一听便交口称赞地说:“可以啊,你这个想法不错呀!”谁知这个单元的初显身手竟然是“设计意见别出心裁的礼物,在一个节日或特殊的日子里赠送给你想赠送的人。”读完后,我心里暗暗高兴了起来,心想“何不利用这次的初显身手,买一张贺卡送给妈妈”,说干就干,于是我便去商店,精心的挑选了一张漂亮的贺卡,虽然贺卡拿到手了,但是内容应该怎么写呢?我又开始想了,这时一个内容猛地冒了出来,于是我便知道写什么了,我准备写:“亲爱的妈妈,您好!祝您元旦节快乐。这些年来,您一直照顾我,在我生病时,”您又会整天整夜地在病房里照顾我,直到我病好为止,在我写作业遇到不会的题时,你又会不厌倦的给我讲题……但是我却把您说的'话看作为唠叨、耳旁风,简直就是左耳朵进右耳朵出,妈妈,我要对我以前做的错事表示惭愧,对您说一声“对不起”,最后,我衷心地祝福您身体健康、工作顺利、节日快乐、天天都有好心情。”想完后我便开始写,我写完,便悄悄地送给了妈妈,妈妈看了后,心情特别高兴,摸着我的头对我说:“孩子,你长大了。”我听了后,便甜甜地笑了。
贺卡,虽然只是一份简单的礼物,但是它却代表了我对妈妈的一份心意,表达了我对妈妈无限的爱。这礼物,传递着浓浓的母女情。
Dear Mum,
Today I'm going to tell you something really special. I know you work very hard and feel tired every day. Every time you come home and see the messy house. , I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house .I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do. After I finish my homework, I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I'm so tired too.
I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don't study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don't feel frustrated about my grades, OK? I made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean up the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason: I want to make you happy Mum. I love you!
With lots of love
Peter
