Last Spring Festival, my father bought me a mobile phone
.
It was a great gift, and I cherish it
a lot. Before that I had a very old-fashioned looking phone, and I was not so pleased with it. But
my father surprised me, and this is why he's such a cool dad: he's always considerate and
thoughtful.
I knew I was going to get a gift or some money. It is traditional to receive something new for
the Chinese New Year, especially new clothes
.
The Festival represents a new beginning; this is
why we carefully clean the house before the celebration in order to get rid of all the bad things we
gathered in a year. It symbolizes a new start. But I really didn't expect such a nice gift on top of
the usual red envelope we give each other every year. I was thrilled when I opened the wrapping
and saw a phone
!
It was a Nokia phone, very trendy, you know, very well-designed, with a large color screen
and many different functions. I can use my cell phone to listen to music, and also to get on the
Internet. On top of this, I can take pictures and send the photos to other phones ifI want to.
I switched my SIM card from my old phone to the new one, and in 2 minutes I was already
sending messages to my friends to tell them about the gift I had received. I also took many
pictures of our dinner, and later on the fireworks we set off at night.
At midnight I hugged my Dad to thank him again, and actually he told me that I should be
very careful not to lose it, and he emphasized on the fact that I shouldn't play with it in class or
while doing my homework. He was such a drag
(=
so boring)
!
He said he didn't want this new
phone to be too much of a distraction for me. You know Chinese parents; they always ask their
kids to study, and study even more. I got the message. I know I must be responsible.
