M: You really have the talent. How did you learn to do this?

M:Time for lunch.Have you finished the report?
W: Yes.The boss needs it this afternoon.
M: Oh, I heard you are selling your house. It's a nice house and not far from our workplace. Why do you want to sell it?
W:I've got new neighbours. They're very noisy.They have a party every day. They're making me sick. I often have headaches during the day now.
M: Have you talked with them?
W: No. I want to call the police.
M: Oh, Jessy. Don't do that. It will make things worse.
W: What should I do then?
M: If I were you, I would try to build a friendship with them.
W: They never say "Hi" to me when we meet.
M:Well, you should begin saying "Hi" to them first when you see them next time. And then tell them about your physical problem.Try to make them understand you.
W: OK. I'll have a try. I hope this will work on them.

Dear Mom,
I'm afraid that I can't go back home for Mother's Day next week.On that day, I'll have to go to an important meeting with my boss.But I'll find time to see you soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you've done for Tim and me. After Dad died ten years ago, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night.But you always gave us two your love and care.Though you don't have to work now, I still remember you came home late and felt tired in many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home.I'm glad you won't live by yourself anymore.Let's plan to take a trip in the near future.It's been years since the three of us took a trip together.Besides, I will work harder, hoping someday later I can have a car to drive you and Tim to wherever we want to go, as a car is much faster and more convenient than a bike, especially when it rains.
Happy Mother's Day! I love you forever, Mom.
