写妈妈的英语作文（推荐20篇）

妈妈，我想对您说

妈妈，您要照顾妹妹，又要打扫卫生，忙得不可开交，我几次想给您提点儿建议，可都没时间，那就让我以作文的方式一吐为快吧!

妈妈，您从来不让我做任何事。有一次，我看见面黄肌瘦的您，心就像扎了针般难受。于是，我便悄悄地收起碗筷来，:“铛...铛...:”碗筷震动而发出的声音吵醒了您，马上您一个箭步跑来，说:“天啊!你在做什么?”“我想帮你的忙。”我转过身去说。可您却跟我唱反调:“小孩子，帮什么忙，越帮越忙!快回去复习功课!”我的眼神顿时灰暗了，但又不敢违抗“圣旨”，只好怏怏地走回房间……

妈妈，您事事都要让我们姐妹俩先。那次，去逛街，您看见心爱的一条连衣裙，我看得出来您内心强烈地跳动着，本想掏钱去买，可一看价格，您的表情突然发生了变化，好像一大盆凉水倒在了您的头上。天呐，那么贵!口袋里的钱只有那么点，怎么办呢?如果买了，孩子们的衣服就泡汤了!我看见那犹豫不绝的您，就说:“妈妈，您就买吧!我们的衣服家里已经成堆，而您……”“好了”!您突然打断我的话，“小孩子应该打扮的漂亮点，而我呀，老了，穿的好不好都没关系!”最后，您还是恋恋不舍的走了……

有人说过:“一粒花种，追随自己的愿望就能开出一个春天;一株树苗追随自己的愿望就能长成一片森林。”妈妈，您知道我和妹妹宁愿自己苦点也不愿看见你那么得疲劳。妈妈，请让我们为您分担一些我们力所能及的事吧!使您也可以享受一个属于自己的春天，妈妈，我爱您!

莫说别的，如果要论“奇葩”二字，那我的老妈一定可以排的上号。

我的老妈，非常非常的爱出门，而且她出门，不为其他的，就为逛街和吃美食。一大早，我还没睡好呢，她就说要去逛街吃美食，也不考虑一下我和老爸的感受。

迷迷糊糊被拖出了门，吃完早饭就逛街，不到半夜不停歇。要不是晚上要上课，她恨不得在商场打地铺。

虽然美食好吃，但也要被老妈爱运动的一些细胞拦住。不得不说，她还是对运动很有兴趣的，经常会去骑“单车”——可以放在家里的动感单车。经常看她大汗淋漓地走出房间。别看老妈经常运动，效果啊，就和没运动一模一样，反而胖了三斤，还说我和爸爸是她减肥路上的“拦路虎”。

要说老妈唯一有点用的呢，那还得是安抚他人，每当我受了一点委屈，都会好生的安抚我说：“没事啦，老师偏袒课代表很正常的，想开些就好了。”有时一整天都是如此。又有时老爸因为股票跌了愁眉不展，老妈又会语重心长地说：“第二天说不好就涨了，不要愁眉苦脸的。”

这就是我多变的“奇葩”老妈，虽然她总是变幻莫测，但我还是爱她。

她不高兴了安抚自己时是逛街妈妈，她心情大好时是运动妈妈，她见别人不高兴时是安抚妈妈。

I have a funny mother. Because of this, my character is also very cheerful, who ask the mother to give me so many humor cell. My mother has 1.68 meters, the shows figure, because she gave birth to me, the belly is a little big. Her father sometimes laughed at her, but she was not angry at all. She said: like a baby panda. Not very well! . My mother never used a little bit of makeup, and sometimes she used my Johnson & Johnson baby lotion, and I asked her, she always said, how good your mothers skin, because Im a baby!

My mom was like that, even more ridiculous three years ago. That day, I rode a kids car to walk with my mother in the street garden. Suddenly, her mother remembered someone telling her to talk. So my mother sent me home and pedaling away. The movement was flexible and flexible. Listen to mother, the people on that day in the street looked at her, smiling while watching. She was so embarrassed.

Once, the curtain hook in the home dropped a few, pull not open. Dad loved to do it for himself, and the result was not fixed in a day, so he was angry. Mother wanted to make my dad laugh, so cheep after hiding in the curtains, with a sound pull open curtain, stepped forward with a smile, with hand held up a wooden as a microphone, sang songs, affectionately sing, she waved and said: goodbye, my loyal fans! My father and I gave a big smile, and the more we laugh, the happier we are. . Whats the matter, daddy laughed too? It was the mothers song that drew the curtain aside. So, daddy smiled and began to put the curtain hook again.

Today is womens day, and also the day I get the scholarship. Look! I made a chocolate bar for my mother with a scholarship. Although I have paid a lot for myself, I am very happy in my heart: I can also give my mother a gift, instead of wrapping around my mother for presents!

But mom is sick and cant eat sweet food. I had to put the chocolate in the fridge, but after a few days my mother was very ill, and she took a big bite, and I eagerly asked, "is it good?" She said it was a little sandy. I took a bite, too. I was a little depressed. But my mother encouraged me, "but its sweet, its great!" My heart is sweet and happy! I wrote a few words specifically for my mother, although it was not very good.

我有一个哥哥，他又高又瘦，和我形成了鲜明的对比。

别看哥哥瘦，但是他特别会吃零食，是个有名的好吃佬！每次放学都会在学校门口超市买零食，直到零用钱全部挥霍完为止。他把自己刚买的零食全部一扫而光还不够，还总想靠近我，吃我的零食！

记得有一次，我买了十几个棒棒糖准备自己吃，他趁我不注意，偷偷吃完了我的棒棒糖，只给我留了一个最难吃的口味！所以每次我都会把零食藏起来，即使这样，也躲不过哥哥的狗鼻子！我的零食常常命陨他的腹中。

哥哥特会损我。有一次，他的老师叫他写一篇作文，他竟然写我玩游戏时候的样子，说我游戏时目不转睛，打输了时就像一头疯牛，鼻子一上一下，一进一出……可把我气得是晕头转向，这不是把我经常背着大人玩游戏的罪行暴露在光天化日之下了吗？更让我没有想到的是，老师居然给他打了100+20分！快把我的下巴都快惊掉了！

虽然哥哥有时候很气人，但是他经常有什么事都跟我分享，我们俩也从来没有什么秘密瞒着对方，有时候我们还会想到一块去。有一次我和哥哥坐公交车回家，车到了长宁大道，这时上来了一位老奶奶，车上坐满了人，这时我和哥哥不约而同都站了起来，异口同声地说：“您这里坐。”老奶奶看了看我们，连夸我们是乖孩子。我和哥哥相视一笑，心里都美滋滋的。

这就是我那时而不靠谱，时而不着调，时而与我还有点灵犀的哥哥。虽然我们不是亲兄弟，但是我们比亲兄弟都要亲！

妈妈已经三十好几了，不过，她那浓密的头发还是那么乌黑，眼睛是双眼皮的那鼻梁下经常有力的紧抿着嘴唇显示着青春的活力，我的妈妈是刀子嘴豆腐心，平时对我很严厉，有时我做错了一件小事，妈妈就对我大发起其火，吓的我和爸爸都不敢吱声，可妈妈还是非常疼爱我的。

我的妈妈没有工作，但她有一双勤劳，灵巧的手，我的妈妈勤俭朴素，但对我毫不吝啬，每当我想吃什么她都给我做，记得有一次我想吃鱼就告诉了妈妈，等我放学回到家里就看见一盘红烧鲤鱼放在桌子上，我看了真是垂涎三尺，急忙邀请妈妈共进晚餐，可妈妈说她不爱吃我一听，就迫不及待的品尝着，连鱼头也不放过，过了一会儿，我看见妈妈正在厨房忙碌，再定眼一看，妈妈在吃我吃剩的鱼骨头，妈妈说谎了，不过，我的心里有一种说不上的感觉。

这就是我的妈妈，爱我的妈妈，我爱的妈妈，这时我心里默默的想着；请原谅女儿的无知吧，我只有努力学习，用优异的成绩来报答您的养育之恩，才是我对您最好的回报。

To begin with, trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which offer

us fresh air. As greenhouse effect is getting more and more serious, planting

more trees is an effective way to respond to it.

Apart from this, it is tree that stabilizes soils and prevents them from

being eroded by floods. Besides, trees can be applied to against desert.

Moreover, trees perform the function of the regulation of air temperature and

humidity. This benefit to people’s fitting to the environment.

Last but not least, trees are a kind of material of paper making, which

makes our life and communication between people more convenient.

From what has been mentioned above, we can get the conclusion that trees

improve both our environment and life, it is necessary for us to plant more

trees.

我的妈妈不仅是个贤妻良母，还是个能干的人。

你认识我的妈妈吗?告诉你，我的妈妈拥有着一头乌黑发亮的头发，两道浓黑的眉毛下闪动着两颗宝石般的大眼睛，显得很有生机。美中不足的是那个高挺的鼻子旁边长了好些斑点。不过妈妈从没有为这而烦恼。我妈妈脸上最具特色的是那张似乎蕴藏着丰富表情的嘴，有是让人火冒三丈，有时让我抽泣不止，有时却让我忍俊不禁，大笑不已。真是一言难尽啊!

我妈妈还是一个非常能干的人呢!妈妈在镇上中心街租了两间门面房，一间卖清凉可口的纯净水和矿泉水，另一家卖物廉价美的衣裳。每天天没亮，妈妈就起床到招商城去进衣裳，不管风吹吹雨文打，妈妈都坚持着。妈妈差不多要到中午才回来，手中拎着几袋沉甸甸的货物。看着妈妈的汗流满面，我想妈妈是多么辛苦啊!一个清脆的电话铃响起，是让妈妈去送水的。一下子，就要几十桶。虽然生意不错，可就是辛苦了妈妈。回来的时候，妈妈背上热气腾腾，直冒热气。可有时我却是生在福中不知福，想想真是惭愧。

尽管妈妈很忙，但是她从来也没忘记我的学习，经常教育我，叮嘱我学习该怎样用功……妈妈还对我体贴入微，常常让我早点儿休息，明天聚精会神地听课。

啊，我的好妈妈，我真得好好地夸夸您了，您夜以继日地工作，为我创造甜蜜的生活。好妈妈，我打心眼儿里爱您!还记得那一晚上，我半夜里，翻过身来，睁开了迷朦的眼睛，看见在光芒刺眼的台灯下，妈妈一手拿着扇子，一手弯着，靠在书桌上，妈妈您已经睡着了。我轻手轻脚地下了床，来到客厅看看钟，已经是凌晨两点了，我回到卧室叫醒了妈妈，妈妈抬起头，看看我，我的目光与妈妈的目光凝聚在一起，我激动地对妈妈说：“妈妈，都已经很晚了，您快去睡了吧!”妈妈走后，我眼前一亮，一件崭新的毛衣就放在我的枕边，心想：妈妈一定是为我织好了毛衣又为我扇风，因过度疲劳才会睡得那么香的，她孜孜不倦的为我织毛衣。想到这里，我仿拂看见了在那盏放射着刺眼光芒的台灯下为我操劳的妈妈那辛勤的身影，仿拂看见了妈妈那疲倦不堪的神情。

妈妈呀妈妈，我怎样才能报答你对我的爱?也许今生我无以回报你对我的恩情了。但我深深地知道，我好好地读书，好好地做人，这才是对你最真诚的回报。

Today, Chinas economy has made the great achievement. More and more

foreign people come to China to seek for cooperation. It is true that peoples

life standard has been improved a lot during the last decades, but the

environment has been polluted badly. When I was very small, I could see the

green trees and clean water around my hometown, but now, the river becomes

smaller and the rubbish can be seen everywhere. I feel so sad about it. We have

sacrificed so much to chase the profit. If we cant save the environment, we

wont live the comfortable life. For us, we should not throw away the rubbish

and plant more trees. The little things we do will make a great difference.

Last weekend, I wanted to swim in the river that I usually wen in the

childhood. When I went there, I was shock. The river is no longer like before.

It was full of rubbish. It seemed that the rubbish is from the villagers

themselves. In order to put the rubbish nearer, they put all of them into the

river. Not only the water is not clean any more, the river also smelt bad. I

real touched. Why human and the environment couldn’t live harmonious? Long time

ago, they could get along with each other. Why not now? People have to stop

their behavior to harm the environment. Otherwise, it would cause destruction to

both sides.

这就是我的妈妈，我的妈妈很棒。

她是一位厉害的园丁，家里有许许多多的花都是妈妈养的，她会定时给花浇水，花被她养得很好看。

她是一位好心的仙子，每次我出去玩，回来时满头大汗，妈妈会给我一张纸叮嘱我说：“小心着凉，把汗擦干，衣服的拉链拉上。”

妈妈每隔一天都会给猫做鱼吃，也会给我做好吃的，最拿手的就是西红柿炒鸡蛋。

我妈妈既是母老虎。说妈妈是母老虎一点都没错，我不就起床慢了点吗?她就拿着棍子在我面前威胁，我感受到了什么叫做绝望。

我妈妈非常调皮，每次我回家她总是躲起来吓唬我。我们经常喜欢玩游戏，她拉着我的腿，我挣脱，往床头爬去，手触碰床头就算赢。每次爬到一半都被她拉回来，这时候就要看谁更敏捷了。有时候打妈妈的手她手一躲，我就打到了自己。呜呜呜，为什么受伤的总是我?

我的妈妈还会画画。记得有一次我一不小心把刚画好的画给弄脏了，妈妈添了几笔，哇!变成了一只蝴蝶。她会调色，会画出被光照和没有被光照的样子，栩栩如生。她会画古装、现代画和未来的科技画，也会画童话。

反正我妈妈是万能的老妈，我能感受到我妈妈很爱我，我也很爱我的妈妈。

我有一位漂亮的妈妈，她今年35岁，中等个，瘦瘦的很苗条。烫着卷发，淡淡的眉毛下有一双水汪汪的大眼睛，说话轻轻的给人一种温柔的感觉。

我有一位心灵手巧的妈妈。妈妈会织毛衣，我家冬天从来不买毛衣。妈妈在我的毛衣上织了许多小动物有唐老鸭、有米老鼠、还有字母和红苹果。同学们都问我毛衣在哪买的，我自豪的说我妈妈织的，同学们都羡慕我有一位好妈妈。我妈妈的厨艺相当了得，我小时候不爱吃饭，妈妈总是想方设法给我换样的做饭。从书上和电视上学，时间长了就成了“大厨”。我最喜欢吃妈妈做的“糖醋排骨”，那味道酸酸甜甜，说着说着我的口谁都流出来了。

妈妈很辛苦，照顾我和有病的爸爸，从没有怨言。把本来不富裕的生活过的有滋有味。我爱你妈妈，你让我拥有一个幸福的家。

“谁言寸草心，到得三春晖”每当我读这一首诗的时候，我就会想到我的妈妈。妈妈我想对您说：母爱是世间最伟大的爱，它凝聚了无数妈妈的全部心血。

那是我读三年级的一件事，那天天下着鹅毛般的大雪，雪花铺天盖地地下了下来，天和地十分茫茫。西北风吹着雪花，打在脸上像刀绞一样。这时的雪花已经有一尺多厚了，几乎没有人在外面行走。此时的大自然好像要把人间给吞没。这时，我正在专心致志地写作业，突然，我大叫：“妈妈，您给我买一本练习本。”您听了，我的喊声，看了看我们恶劣的天气，一字一句的说：“哦，妈妈这就给你去买。”您走了，我继续写作业。几个小时过去了，门铃响了，我知道您回来了。我去开门，只见您湿漉漉的雨衣包裹着您冻僵的身体。您僵红的脸上露出了和蔼可亲的笑容。“这是你要用的练习本吗，外面的天气太恶劣了，让你久等了。”“对不起妈妈，我不知道外面的天气这么恶劣……”

妈妈啊!您为我奉献的太多了，让我更加体会到母爱的伟大。当我问您最想要什么回报时，您要得不是金碧辉煌的房屋，也不是大批大批的金钱，而是希望我长大后做个有用的人。

妈妈经常穿着一件灰衣服，头发短短的，一双眼睛圆圆的，鼻子尖尖的，嘴角上常常带着微笑，看起来很温柔。

妈妈从天亮一直忙到天黑，她每天起得很早。起来以后烧开水、打扫房间、喂猪、喂鸡，还要给我们做早饭，她是多么累呀！

做完这些家务活后，她就又赶到地里去，一直忙到我们放学才回家，回到家里又得给我们做饭。我常想：“妈妈每天既要干地里的活，还要做家务，真是太累了。”记得有一天放学回家，我见门还锁着，知道妈妈在地里干活没回来。于是我在院子里等着，等了好久也不见妈妈回来。我想：妈妈可能一会儿就回来了，又耐心地在院子里等了一会儿，可是足足等了二十分钟，还不见妈妈回来。我有点生气，又有点着急，就去找妈妈。没走多远，遇见了妈妈，我生气地问妈妈：“您怎么到现在才回来，我都快急死了，你整天去地里干活，就不知道我饿着肚子呀！

妈妈微笑着说：“地里的草很多，我多拔了一会儿，所以来晚了一点，快回家，妈妈给你做好吃的。”说着，妈妈用手轻轻地擦了一下额头，我才看见妈妈的脸上流着汗。额头上的头发都被汗水浸湿了。我的心好像被什么东西揪了一下，我一肚子的怨气一下子全没了，惭愧地对妈妈说：“妈妈，您不要说了，刚才我有些饿，心里也太着急了，才对你发火了，请原谅吧。”妈妈微笑地说：“妈妈不怪你。”我高兴地说：“妈妈，您真好，您是我最好的妈妈！

When students are going to high school, they are under great pressure,

because their main goal is to enter the college, so they need to work so hard.

The school will test them so often that they want to get the best scores.

Cheating on the exams is many students’ choice, as they could not do well on the

exam, so they want to find the confidence by getting the high marks. Other

students even buy the exam answers, what they do is totally wrong. Frist, it

will cost students a lot of money on buying the answer, it refers to spend their

parents’ money, it is not easy to earn money. Second, the answers that students

buy are not accurate all the time, most of the answers are wrong, students are

easy to get cheated. Students should work hard to improve their study.

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the

developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing

no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to

Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local

economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government

pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou

in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture

effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s

performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more

they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support

we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable

culture.

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue，and

helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need

others help some day.If everyone isnt willing to help us just because we are

strangers to them，its hard to imagine what our world will be like.However，some

are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us trouble.Sometimes we are

just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of kindness.In my opinion，we

should try our best to help others when they are in need of help，but we should

also protect ourselves from getting into trouble.If everyone tries a little

kindness，our world will be full of love.
