新视野大学英语视听说教程第三册 Unit 9 Let'sTalk
Young men and women, tomorrow will be Mother's Day. Some of you are still wondering what to do for your mom. Here's my advice.
Look out for anything that she plans to buy, and buy it if you can afford it. For example, a casual dress or formal office wear. Or, it may be a unique hair clip. Find out if she is planning to get a new microwave or a new steam iron, and buy it for her if you can afford it. But don't forget to add a personal touch, and buy perfume or a bouquet of flowers as an add-on to the most practical gifts.
You can get some ideas by considering what her likes and dislikes are. If she likes cats, how about giving her a pet or something that has a picture of a cat on it? But make sure she doesn't find out that you're getting her a present. Let her gift be a pleasant surprise.
Definitely spend some time with her, especially if you are not living with her. Make her feel special. For example, you can cook a special dish for the day. You can also throw a little party and invite those who are close to her.
And of course, if she enjoys outings, take a little trip with her. And if possible with your entire family. She'll love it for sure. After all, she is the one who takes care of all of you. A special trip to the countryside Gould show her how much you care for her. If she is happy, I'm sure you'll feel happy, too.
