My mother 1ived alone for 19 years after my father died.My work and my three children made me difficult to visit her .One night I called her for the evening meal.“What’s wrong?"she asked.She always thinks the call in the night is bad news.“I just want to spend some time with you,”I replied.

On Friday I drove to pick her up.When I arrived,she seemed to be as nervous as me.She washed hair and wore her best dress.After we got to a near restaurant,I read the menu.She was looking at me all the time.“I used to read the menu when you were small."

During the dinner,we had a happy conversation.We talked so much happily.When we went back home,she said,“I’ll go out with you again,but you must let me invite you."

A few days later,my mother died of a serious heart illness.I felt very sorry not to do anything for her.After some days,I received a letter with a menu from the same restaurant.The letter said,“I paid this meal.I wasn't sure I could be there.I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife.I love you,son.”

At that time,I understood the importance of saying“I LOVE YOU”in time.Nothing in life is more important than your family.Spend more time with them.

Tokyo may be one of those places that you love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo, there are always too many people in the places where you want to go. There are also too many cars. Tokyo drivers often spend a long time in the busy street, just like drivers in London, Paris and New York.

Tokyo also has a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk in the street. The worst time in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is because the nightclubs are closing at that time and everybody wants to go home then. There are more than 30,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.

During the day, most people go to work by train. Six million train tickets are sold every year in Tokyo. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours they are not enough at all. Although trains are always crowded, they are very good in many ways. They always leave and arrive on time. In London trains, you may see everybody reading a newspaper. But in Tokyo trains, everybody seems to be sleepy, no matter whether his journey is long or short. If you stand outside the station for five minutes, there will be three fire engines going past you. They are on the way to one of the fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.
