Do you often think of your parents? You may say, “Of course, I        . I         a gift for my mother on Mother’s Day and on Father’s Day I give my father       , too.” But what about the other days of the year?
In my family, my parents like         very much because my aunt and uncle come back from Beijing to see them. All the family members get together. They are very happy. In the evening, we eat moon cakes and watch the        .
I have a friend. Her parents      in another city. One day, I go to see her, and we have a nice talk. Then she wants to        . So she dials (拨打) the number, but then she puts down the phone.         About 15 minutes, she dials the number again.”Hi, Mom…”
Later, I ask, “Why do you dial the number        ?” She smiles, “My parents are old and      , so they can’t get close to the telephone quickly. I always do so when I call them. I only want to give them         time to         the telephone.”
My friend is a good girl. She is always         about her parents. You also want to be a         child, right? Please always remember to         your parents at anytime, not just on some important days.
