Before every Mother’s Day, you may rush around to try to find the perfect present. But stores don’t carry what most moms want. Moms know you love them, but they like reminders. So on the next two pages, some kids shared what they appreciate (感谢) about their moms.

I appreciate my mom because she helps me know when I’m wrong or right. When I don’t know what to do, she is there. The thing I appreciate most about her is that she kisses my head every night.

— Amy, 11

My mother shows me that she loves me in so many ways. She helps me with my homework, drives me to camps, makes delicious breakfasts for me and reads books with me. She is a great role model to me because she keeps studying while working a full-time job and taking care of our family. My mother is a great mom!

— Miles, 11

What I appreciate about my mom is that she is funny and nice. When I am in any difficult situation, she is always the first one there. When I have games, she comes every time. She always pays attention to me. She knows how good I can be, and pushes me to do what I want to.

— Lisa, 13

I love my mom because she is very different from most moms. She is my best friend and she is the only one who understands me. She helps me see the world in a different way. She also pushes me to follow my dreams. I’ll remember everything she did.

— Scott, 13

Expressions cover all parts of our life. They may be around your ears every day. You may know a lot of Chinese expressions that describe how you feel. Here are some English ones for your enjoyment.

Have Your Heart in Your Mouth

This expression means that you're really afraid or anxious about something. When your heart starts beating so much that you can feel a thumping(怦怦跳) in your throat, it may feel like you "have your heart in your mouth."

Have Butterflies in the Stomach

How did butterflies get in your stomach? Well, those really aren't butterflies in there. It is a way of describing those nervous feelings you might get before a test or a very important decision.

These stomach flutters (跳动) are normal and happen to many people. Some people believe having a few butterflies might even help you perform better.

Sick as a Dog

If you've ever been very sick, you may have used this expression. Because dogs eat just about anything they find, they often get sick. So it's all right to describe someone who's not feeling well as being "sick as a dog".

Under the Weather

When it's rainy all day outside, how would you feel? This expression comes from the idea that bad weather might hurt a person's health and mood(心情).
