    Last Friday, I was just in France to visit my 96-year-old grandmother who is very dear to me 1lives alone. I don't visit her very often, so every time I go to see her, 2of us think that it might be the3time we see each other. Last time I visited her in December of 2014, I did some video interviews about her life. I asked her 4 it was like to grow up with her father in the 1920s, to live with two young children, with her husband 5 in a prisoner's camp (集中营) in Germany. I also asked her about her greatest 6. I learned a lot of amazing new things about her that I never know before.

    This year, I did not really have questions to ask. I only wanted to tell her how loved she is. So, I cooked for her and read stories. I gave her a foot massage (按摩). 7 leaving, I wanted to leave something 8 behind besides the memory of our time together. So I wrote her five different love and thank notes to let her know how much she means to me. I 9 them in different places where I knew she would 10find them. One of them was under her pillow. 11 one was hanging from the lamp shade by which she reads in the evening. Another one was by her toothbrush. One was in her mailbox which she has to check every day. And the last one was in her car. She still 12to the nearby village a couple of times a week!

    I knew that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left. Really she called me as I was catching my plane back to the US. She said," I found your three cards! By the time I discovered the third, I was laughing out loud! They did me so much good. Thank you so much!" I smiled to myself, 13she still has two more to go! It is Sunday today, so my guess is that she hasn't 14her mailbox or driven her car! I can 15 how happy she will be when she finds them.

    One's education starts from family, especially 1 his or her mother. Here is a story that happened in my childhood.

One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with my two brothers. My mum 2 several apples of different colors and sizes. She put all the apples on the table, then 3 me and my younger brothers, "Which do you like?" 4 my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. 5 I could say "The biggest one", one of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.

    My mum 6 the biggest apple and said to us, "It is 7 to get the biggest apple. Many people want the best thing, but few really get it. Now let's start a 8 . Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our 9. I'll divide it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) 10 own share. The best and quickest one will be 11 the biggest apple." I won the apple finally.

    Since then, I have learned to try my best to succeed whenever I get a chance. I work 12 to get what I want. That was what my mother advised me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most 13 lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what we want 14 competing. My mother kept teaching us in this way and we followed her 15 all the time.

    I do believe that mother is the first teacher of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.
