今天是三八妇女节。早上醒来一睁开眼，我就在想今天是妈妈的节日，我该为她做点什么呢？我想啊想，最后决定送妈妈一件可爱的小礼物。
Today is women's day. When I wake up in the morning and open my eyes, I think it's my mother's day. What can I do for her? I thought and thought, and finally decided to give my mother a lovely little gift.
想起去年妈妈生日的时候，我送她一个蓝色的头花，她却不喜欢，她说那是小孩子的东西，不适合她。所以这次我决定送他一个实用的桃红色的小娃娃挂件，希望妈妈会喜欢。
When I think of my mother's birthday last year, I gave her a blue flower, but she didn't like it. She said it was a child's thing, not suitable for her. So this time I decided to send him a practical peach red baby pendant. I hope my mother will like it.
吃过午饭，我把小娃娃放到妈妈手中，对妈妈说：“妈妈您幸苦了，今天让我来帮您洗碗吧？”妈妈笑着摸摸我的头，说：“你真的长大了，也懂事了，我非常喜欢你的礼物。”
After lunch, I put the baby in my mother's hands and said to her, "Mom, you're so lucky. Let me help you with the dishes today?" My mother touched my head with a smile and said, "you are really grown up and sensible. I like your gift very much."
我也开心的笑了。
I also smile happily.
