In children's eyes, mother is perfect. In my mind, my mother is good at doing everything1 cooking. I still2 what happened on my father's 40th birthday when I was young.
My mother made a special plan for the important day. She went shopping for a big meal. She began to cook just3 finishing a long shopping list. Three hours later, only two dishes were served on the table—a salad and a pancake in a strange shape. We all expected(期望) to have the roast duck as soon as possible4 it was our favourite. Unluckily, the duck was neither nice in color nor delicious in taste. Feeling so sorry, my mother promised(答应) to prepare5 one at once.
To my surprise, my father didn't complain(抱怨) at all. Instead, he6 one more piece of duck and smiled at my mother, "Good taste, I love it! Thank you, dear! It's the7 roast duck I have ever had!"
My mother smiled happily and said "Happy birthday, my dear!"
I8 understand what my father said and did at that time. Ten 9 passed and my father became a 50-year-old man. He still loves the food my mother cooks, though she hasn't become a good cook yet. As time goes by, I come to know that no one is perfect, including(包括) my mother. 10 is perfect, including my family. But love can make a difference. If there is love, home will become the sweetest place in the world.

Tom had a book in his hand and tears in his eyes.
"What worries you, Tom?" asked Mrs. White.
"Our teacher asked us to recite the poem Little Jim. I don't think I can do it well. "said Tom. "Why not?" asked Mrs. White.
"The boys said that I can't." said Tom in a sad voice.
"Don't mind what they said. Let them see that you can do it." said Mrs. White.
"I don't think I can." said Tom. "The poem is so long and difficult for me. But I want to try my best to recite it. "
"Well, dear son." said Mrs. White, "Look at that snail(蜗牛) on the wall. How slow it is! Watch it. You will see it get to the top at last. So just try a few lines each day, and you may recite it in the end. "

"I saw it climb up the wall bit by bit（一点一点地）. It didn't stop. At last, it climbed to the top. And I thought I could do the same. So I recited it bit by bit, and did not give up. "said Tom.
"Well done, Tom!" said the teacher. "Now boys, let us give a good cheer to Tom and the snail on the wall."
The classroom rang with a great cheer.
