My grandma
My grandma was a short woman with grey hair. She was always cheerful.
She was a very good cook. Her dishes were probably the best in the world.
I will never forget the taste, and the smell as well.
Grandma took care of my family. She was really kind and patient. She died
two years ago and I miss her very much.

Mother’s Day
Mums do a lot of hard work. They cook and clean for us. They also
encourage us and give us support. Mother’s Day is the time for us to
say ”Thank you” to our mums.
In most countries, people celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in
May every year. On this day, people like to buy flowers and make special
Mother’s Day cards for their mums.
Mother’s Day is not only about gifts. We can help our mums do the
housework. We can take them to the park or the cinema. Sometimes a
simple hug or saying “I love you, Mum” is the perfect gift for our mums.
Mother’s Day is about love. If you love your mum, Why not plan a special

Mother’s Day for her?
Middle manes
In many western countries, people have first names(given names) and last
names(family names). Many people often have middle names too.
Parents give their children middle names to remember someone in their
family or someone important to them.
