Original

I want to find a gift for my mum because it will be her birthday on June 28th. I look on Taobao. It have been wear for a long time. So I want to buy a new one for her. But I think she didn’t like these things very much.

During the spring festival in this year, I went to my grandparents home and ate lunch and dinner with them. I also went to my auntie’s home and my parents played mahjong with my auntie. I went to a KTV with my cousin. My cousins husband made a dinner for us, after he finished the dinner, he didn’t want to eat anything.
