No matter how old you are, your mom will always remain as one of the most important people in your life. Maybe you don't know how to express your appreciation and love to her on an ordinary day. Here are several things we can do this Mother's Day to show how much we appreciate and care for our mothers.
Give her flowers. You can show your love to your mom by giving her flowers that match her personality. Or, if you do not know your mom's favorite, carnations(康乃馨) could be your best choice.
Cook for her. Mothers usually are the ones who cook for us. Your mom will absolutely love it if you surprise her by taking over the kitchen and cooking something for her. Just make sure you clean up afterwards. You can just do so describing how much your mother means to you. It can be very effective that your mom will keep them and always be reminded of how important she is to your lives as a family member.
Travel with her. Mothers work hard, so traveling can help her to relax and forget her problems. She will treasure the moment --- wherever you go, just your presence.
Take her to a spa. Massages or spas（按摩保健） are for moms of all ages, and she will enjoy breaking the boredom of staying indoors the whole day. .
Mother's Day is coming. It is a time to let Mom know she's special to you.
| A．Write her a letter. |
| B．Remember her wedding anniversary. |
| C．A lot of us forget that the best gift to give her is ourselves. |
| D．Almost every girl appreciates flowers and so does your mother. |
E. She remains the center of attention and respect for a child for a long time.
F. And this will offer your mom comfort and an increased sense of well-being.
G. However, Mother's Day is the special time when you can let her know how important she is to you.
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently._
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding.
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
● Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
| A．What should you do? |
| B．Listen for the general idea of the conversation. |
| C．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
| D．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
G.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

● Respect the opinions of others

I know that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work---your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star .
The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.
That’s okay. JK Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.
These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right.
| A．If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying. |
| B．Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures. |
| C．You have to let your failures teach you. |
| D．You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have. |
E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.
F. Failures can lead you to success.
G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.
