We do it because we love all of you so much," she replied.   Encouraged by her mum's response, Rose continued, "I want to help more around the house.

Your contribution will show how much you appreciate our family, and it will be a great help."   Meanwhile, William approached his mum and said, "Mum, can I help with the laundry from now on?"   His mum's face lit up. "William, that's such a thoughtful gesture. Yes, you can help me with the laundry.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Rose. Rose was always ready to explore and learn something new.   One sunny morning, as she sat on the couch, she noticed her mum carrying a basket full of vibrant flowers. "Mum, what are these flowers called? They're beautiful!" Rose exclaimed. “They are called orchids, my dear. Aren't they elegant?” her mum replied with a gentle smile.   The pink orchids caught Rose's attention. "The pink ones look so soft, like fluffy clouds. And the white ones, they look like tiny marshmallows!" she exclaimed with excitement. "Why d i d y o u b u y orchids, Mum?" Rose asked, her little fingers gently touching the delicate petals. Her mum explained, "During Chinese New Year, we buy flowers to make our home nicer." "I'm going to draw them, Mum!" she declared.   As Rose sat on the couch, carefully sketching the orchids, her mum went about her chores. Suddenly, a loud crash of broken glass echoed through the house, making her mum jump in surprise. "It wasn't me, Mum. I promise! I was right here, drawing," Rose quickly assured her mom, a worried expression on her face. Believing her daughter, her mum smiled. "I know, Rose. Sometimes, strange things happen.

As Chinese New Year was approaching, William, Daisy and Rose eagerly started writing their wish lists. William dreamed of having a modern train set because he saw his friend with a magnificent model train set.   Daisy complained that her clothes were old-fashioned. She wanted some beautiful clothes. Rose desired a new blue bike although she already had one. When Mum saw her kids discussing happily, she interrupted them. She asked them, ‘Do you want to buy all of those things or use the money to help others?’   William, Daisy and Rose felt puzzled. They did not understand what their mum meant. So Mum sat down next to them and said, ‘Many people around the world need our help and support. Some people are very poor.   They don’t have enough money to buy food, clean drinking water and medicine. So they always starve and get sick.’   Daisy asked, ‘We’re just kids. How can we help them?’ ‘There are many ways we can help,’ Mum explained. ‘We can donate money, old toys and clothes to a charitable organization. To raise money for charity, we can sell or buy raffle tickets. If we have time, we can visit the poor families, orphanages and elderly homes to show our love and care to them.’   ‘We are lucky to have so much and it’s important to share our love and happiness with people in need. Now I don’t need a new bike. I can use the money to help others,’ Rose said. ‘I don’t buy a new dress. I want to donate the money to help the poor,’ Daisy declared. William said, ‘I can give some trains to the poor. I’ll persuade my friends to donate their old toys too.’   Mum hugged her children tightly and said, ’I’m glad that you all understand the importance of giving and helping others. I’m really proud of you.’   Message Share our love with others. Help people in need.   Bible verse Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.

It’s summer, Rose and her brother and sister are on their summer holidays from school. It is usually very hot in July and August and today is no different. Rose is at home with Mum. Can I go outside to play, Mummy?’ asks Rose. ‘Not now,’ says Mum, ‘the sun is too strong. Stay inside and help me to bake a cake for lunch.’ Rose is unhappy because she wants to be outside where she can run and jump and play.   Rose helps mum to add eggs and flour to the mixing bowl. They add sugar and butter and stir the batter until it is nice and smooth. Mum puts the cake in the oven to bake. Rose looks out at the garden and asks, ‘Mummy, can I play outside in the sun?’ Mum shakes her head and says, ‘It’s still very sunny, Rose. You will get sunburned playing in the sun.’ Rose is disappointed but she sits down with a book instead and starts to read quietly. Fluffy, the family cat, slowly walks over to Rose and lays down on her lap, purring loudly. Mum sees how disappointed Rose is and she has an idea. She goes to the girls’ bedroom and comes back with sun cream and a sun hat. ‘Here you go, Rose,’ says Mum, and she begins to rub sun cream over Rose’s face, arms and legs. ‘You can go outside but put on your sun hat.’ Rose nods at her mum and happily skips out to the garden. Fluffy follows closely behind. Ten minutes later Rose and Fluffy run back into the house. Rose says, ‘Fluffy needs a sun hat!’   Message This reminds us that we must honour our mother and father and show respect for them in our daily lives.   Action Listen to what our mother and father say and follow their advice.   Glossary batter (noun) : a mixture of flour, eggs, and milk or another liquid, used to make pancakes or to cover food before frying it . 用麵粉、雞蛋和牛奶混成的麵糊。   sunburn (noun) : a condition in which your skin is sore and red because you have spent too long in the strong heat of the sun. 曬傷   disappointed (adjective) : unhappy because someone or something was not as good as you hoped or expected, or because something did not happen. 失望的   purring (verb) : to make a quiet, continuous, soft sound. 發出平穩低沉的聲音   This story if taken from CEO Project 1.0 — Family (Level 1) Unit 1 The Four Seasons —Summer
