White lies People feel that being kind is sometimes more important. They are trying to be kind. White lies are not cruel (残忍的)or angry words. They don’t hurt people.

When a parent asks what you think of their new baby, they want you to say good words. Is this the time for the truth? Of course not! You look that proud parent and say, “She is really a beauty.

Mother’s Day On Sunday, May 13th, 2007. We celebrated Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a special day for our mothers. It is celebrated in the United States, England, India and some other countries. Children often give their mothers cards, presents and flowers on this day. Some people send messages on telephone or Internet if they live far away. Everyone wants to show their loves to their mothers on this great day. Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May. The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis in 1872. After her hard work for many years, the first American Mother’s Day was held on May 10th, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.
