We enjoyed a really interesting holiday. During the holiday, I didn’t have to get up early, nor did I need to finish many exercises. I rode the horse in the fields. I milked the cows on the farm. To my great joy, my uncle invited me to go fishing. Life on the farm was quite different from that at school. I want to go back to spend my summer holiday there again. 1. 假如你叫李华，5月11日母亲节那天 你为母亲做了很多有意义的事情。请你根据表格中所给信息，用英语写一篇日记。上午下午晚饭
