Next, I broke the eggs in a bowl and cut up the scallion. And then I mixed them with some oil and salt and stirred them together hard. Afterwards, I turned on the stove and put the pan on it. When the pan got hot, I poured some oil into it , and when the oil boiled I put the mixture into it and scrambled the eggs . After a while, it scented the morning air. Looking at the scrambled eggs in the pan, my heart was filled with joy and pride.

I put the scrambled eggs on a plate, showed it to her and said, “Happy birthday ,my dear mother! Hope you will enjoy the breakfast made of love! This time, the scrambled eggs are not burnt !”. Hearing my words, she gave me a warm hug with a smile of happiness on her face. I woke father up and we sang a birthday song for my mother while having breakfast.

There is a red shirt in my closet. This is not an ordinary shirt. Every time I see it, I can’t help thinking of that unforgettable thing in my life.
When I was nine years old, one night, I suddenly caught a high fever, and my father was out on a business trip. In a hurry, my mother took me to see the doctor. After the treatment, it was more than 2 o’clock in the morning the next day. When I got home, the elevator stopped and my mother decided to carry me upstairs. At first, my mother walked easily but later, she was tired and the shirt was wet with sweat. It was my father’s new gift for my mother, which she liked very much. But at this time, she forgot her own shirt. It made me feel so moved. I lied on her back and cried.
A few days later, my mother didn’t wear the shirt. After asking, I realized that my zipper tore the shirt. Since then, my mother never worn the shirt but I often see my mother open the closet to touch it. Four years later, we moved twice, but the shirt still hangs in my closet. Every time I see it, the warm memory of that day came back to me. I remember this because love is indeed a magical power.
Homework
假设你是李华,你在整理书架时偶然看到妈妈曾经写给你的一堆卡片。刚进入高中时,你的学习压力很大,这些卡片是妈妈为了鼓励你并帮助你摆脱压力而写给你的,最后你开始了快乐的学习。请你把这段美好回忆分享给你的好友Tom。注意: 词数为80个左右。
Dear Tom,
While cleaning up my bookshelf this weekend,I found a stack of cards.
When I read the words on each card,my eyes watered.It was these encouraging cards that helped me get through my frustration.
I felt pressured at the beginning of high school and I was afraid of falling behind every minute of the days.Mum was so considerate that she found my problems.From then on,I could find a special card on my desk every morning.Gradually,I became less anxious and began to find pleasure in my studies.Mum makes me understand that pressure can't be avoided.What counts is how to deal with it properly,and how to turn it into pleasure or challenges.
Yours,
Li Hua
