What’s your sweet memory about your family members
One sweet memory I have about my family members is when we all went on a vacation to the beach. We spent the entire week enjoying the sun, sand, and each other's company. We played games on the beach, had picnics, and spent multiple evenings watching the beautiful sunset together. It was a time filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments
that brought us closer as a family.
1. Look at the picture! What can you see Could you guess their relationship How do you know that
The picture shows a middle-aged woman (mother) and a little girl (daughter) are smiling to each other. They are so close to each other by connecting their bodies. We can smell the sweetness from their smiles.
1. What kind of text is it How do you know that
The text looks like a diary with a date on the right top.
2. Is it a narration or an exposition How do you know that
It’s a narration,
because it recounts an
unforgettable event which happened ten years ago.
Read the journal entry and answer the questions.
1. What brought back the author’s lovely memory
An old photo.
3. Why is it a lovely memory
Because it shows the love between the author and her mother.
2. What happened in the author’s memory
The author wanted to surprise her mother with home-made scrambled eggs on her mother’s birthday. Unluckily, the eggs were burnt, but they ended up laughing about it and eating them all anyway.
4. In your opinion, which moment makes the author moved the most Why do you think so
The daughter worried about the burned eggs. However, her mother wasn’t angry with her and ate them. She must feel the magic love at that moment.
5. How do you understand “Love is indeed a magical ingredient.”
Love is a beautiful emotion—be it the affection for family, the friendship for friends, or the attachment to a beloved place. Love brings with kindness, understanding, respect, and trust; it can melt all barriers and fill people with strength.

There is a small bike lying quietly in our garage. It is quite old and I can no longer ride it, but I still keep it there, as it brings back a sweet memory.
Many years ago, it was a Sunday morning on my sixth birthday. My father bought me a new bike. I could not wait to get on it and learn how to ride, so I begged my father to teach me in the garden. After I sat on the new bike, my father helped me put my two hands on the handlebars and my feet on the pedals.
Then, he pushed the bike so that the pedals started to move. I was scared! But my father kept encouraging me. I could cycle around the garden shortly after my first try. It was amazing. But unluckily, I was so busy waving at him that I didn’t see a small tree in front of me. I hit it and fell off the bike. It hurt a lot and I started to cry. My father encouraged me to stand up, be brave and try again. Gradually, I was able to ride the bike more skillfully.
I kept riding the bike until it was too small for me. It is still one of my most precious possessions, for not only was it my first bike, but a symbol of my courage as well as my father’s love. And I learnt that love has great power.
