Dear Sandy

I’m very glad to receive your letter．In your letter, you asked me what we

would do on Mother’s Day in China．Here I would like to tell you something about it.

Generally speaking, some of us would like to help our mothers do some housework, such as tidying the rooms or washing  some clothes, for we are very thankful for all the work they have done for us．Some would like to buy some presents for mothers or send a card. Those who work or study far from their houses can make a phone call and give their best wishes to their mothers. Anyway, we often express our love and gratitude to our mothers in our own way.

As for me, this year I would like to send my mother some flowers as a gift, wishing her to be much younger and happier．Besides, I am going to write her a card, telling her how much she means to me and that I’ll try my best to live up to her expectations．

Have you got any other ideas? Look forward to your reply．

Yours,

Li hua
