Last Sunday was May 10th. It was my mother’s 40th birthday. I got up early that day. First, I made a beautiful handmade thank-you card for her. Then I went to the flower shop and bought some roses. In the evening, our family had a big birthday party. Dad and I cooked her favourite dishes together. He also bought a big birthday cake. I gave Mum the card and flowers. She was very surprised. We sang the birthday song and she made a wish before blowing out the candles.
It was a really wonderful day. My mother was very happy, and so was I. I love my mother and I hope she can be happy every day.

My mother's birthday
My mother's birthday is on October 12th. Last year, we had a warm birthday party for her.
I got up very early that day. First, I helped my father clean the whole house, and we put many pretty pink balloons in the living room. Then I made a hand-drawn thank-you card for my mother as my special gift. My father and I also cooked a lot of her favourite dishes, like sweet and sour fish and tomato egg soup. When my mother came back home from work, she was so surprised. We sang the birthday song for her, and she made a wish before blowing out the candles on the cream cake.
It was a really wonderful day. My mother said it was the sweetest birthday she had ever had. I love my mother and I hope she can be happy every day.
