Everyone in the world comes from a mother. For many of us, this woman cooks, cleans, and keeps the house in order. However, she is not just a housewife.
Our mothers love, protect, and care for us. They are our nurses, our teachers, and our heroes. That's why there is a special day to show that we respect them—Mother's Day.
In many parts of the world, it comes on a Sunday and often in May. On that day, mothers shine, and their families treat them like queens.
In many Western countries, mothers get signs of their families' love on Mother's Day. They get breakfast in bed along with cards, gifts, and flowers.
Some places do it differently. Argentina and Ethiopia celebrate the holiday in fall. Argentine children make their moms necklaces, and husbands do all the cooking and cleaning for the day.
For Ethiopians, Mother's Day is a three-day party. Girls bring their mothers cheese and vegetables, and boys bring meat. In fact, the spirit of the day is the same—love for mothers.
1. Who usually does housework for us?

B. The mother.

D. A classmate.
2. When is Mother's Day in many countries in the world?
A. On a Saturday in May.

B. Mothers give their children gifts on that day.

I'm Dave. I love to visit beaches. (1) I can spend many hours in the beach doing nothing. I go to the beach almost every weekend. I'm busy with my study on weekdays. When I sit on the beach, I feel relaxed. (2) 我喜欢看蓝色的大海 。 I like to see birds flying in the blue sky. I feel that life is so happy at that time.
I often go with my friends or with my parents. Last weekend I went to the beach with my parents. (3) 我们上午 10 点到那里 。 There were many people on the beach. I could see a few children making a sand castle. The waters broke it. The kids were sad for some time, but the next moment they decided to make a new one far away from the waters.
