It happens every day, everywhere I go. At the supermarket and the post office, people keep telling me to enjoy my kids while they are 　31 . I spend my days taking care of them and answering 32 questions about everything from why we have two eyes but one nose to 　33 there are toilets in the heaven. They 　34 me from eating a full meal or getting a full 　35 sleep.

Yet, the other day, when I took my kids to a children’s museum, I began to 　36 what people were trying to tell me. It was the 　37 time we went there without diaper (尿布) bag, baby bottle or stroller (婴儿车). As I watched my sons paint there, I was suddenly 38 by a wave of 　39 . My babies weren’t babies any more.

Now I’m paying more attention to the 　40 that won’t happen when my kids are 　41 .

I’m enjoying when Christ looked up the sky and cried 　42 , “Wow! The moon!” In a few 　43 , it will take a rare Shrek card or something else to get him that excited. I’m 　44 when Nicholas put down his fork at dinner and asked, “Mommy, how are you doing?” About ten years from now , he 　45__ not care. When they’re in primary school, they won’t want to hold my 　46 any more. In junior high school, they won’t hug me and say, “I love you, too.” In high school, they won’t even want to be 　47 with me.

Pretty 　48 they’ll both be gone. And I’ll 　49 through the supermarket and the post office alone, warning young 　50 to enjoy their kids while they are little. Hope they’ll listen.

The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course is my trip 36 England. This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me 37 .

　 There are quite a lot of interesting places in England, 38 Oxford. When we walked around Oxford, we saw quite a lot of ancient buildings on 39 sides of the streets. One of the most famous tourist 40 in Oxford is Christ(基督)Church, and it’s 41 one of Oxford University's 29 colleges. There is a huge hall in Christ Church, 42 was used as the dining hall at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter 43 . I felt really excited when I heard this.

　 44 place that impressed me 45 during my trip is a place called Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a small town. Maybe you haven't 46 it, but I'm sure you have heard about William Shakespeare-the great man's 47 . In Stratford-upon-Avon, I could 48 Shakespeare's Birthplace, Shakespeare Countryside Museum, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and a lot of places that are connected with 49 .

I went to Shakespeare's Birthplace. It was the house 50 Shakespeare was born and 51 his early years. 52 sitting room, hallway(走廊), bedrooms, and kitchen were furnished (布置) in sixteenth-century 53 . I also went to see the Shakespeare Exhibition. It illustrated(以图解说明) Shakespeare's life and career in both Stratford and London.

　 I really enjoyed this nice trip to England, 54 I learnt a lot. I'm very happy that I could visit such an interesting 55 . I want to go there again in the future.
