Today is Sally’s mother’s birthday. Sally wants to buy a present for her mother, but she doesn’t know what to buy. After lunch, she plans to go shopping. In a store, she sees a beautiful purple umbrella (雨伞). She thinks her mother would love this present. She buys it and takes a bus to go home. But when she gets off the bus, she leaves the umbrella on her seat. She comes home unhappily (不高兴地). Her mother asks the reason (原因). Sally tells her mother she loses the birthday present. Mother says, “It doesn’t matter. You are the best present.”

Hello, my friends. My name is Li Hong. I’m from Fuzhou. I’m in No. 1 Junior High School. I’m in Class Seven, Grade Seven. My mother works in No. 1 Junior High School. She teaches Chinese. My father is a doctor in a hospital.

On Sunday, my mother and I often do some shopping. My mother likes shopping a lot. We will go shopping this Sunday afternoon. My mother says she will buy me a red coat. But I don’t like red. I want a yellow one. My mother says yes to me. I’m happy.

My father doesn’t like shopping at all. He likes pandas best. He often takes me to the zoo. In the zoo, I can see monkeys, pandas, elephants, lions and tigers. The pandas are very cute. The monkeys are clever. The lions and tigers are strong. The elephants have long noses. They are very kind. This Sunday my father will go to the zoo with me.

I love my parents very much. They love me, too. I have a happy family.
