1. A Tale of Expressing Love and Gratitude towards Parents, Model 1 (Standard)

I am the eldest daughter of my parents, cherished by them from childhood to adulthood. However, despite their love, I have been quite disobedient, often not listening to them, being stubborn, and rebellious. It wasn't until one day, seeing my parents sick, that I realized I had to do something to help them.

That day after school, my aunt picked me up and on the way home, I found out both my parents were sick and had to stay home. Upon arriving home, I immediately went to check on my parents. Despite being sick, they were worried about me, afraid that there would be no one to bathe me, cook for me, or blow-dry my hair. However, that day, I decided I would do everything myself. I brought warm water for each of my parents, then took a bath by myself, dried myself off, and went out to buy porridge for the whole family. When I got home, I served the porridge to my parents and myself, feeding myself as well. After eating, I washed the dishes, swept the house, and tidied up the clothes. Only after finishing all the chores did I go to my room to do my homework.

That day, my actions surprised my parents. They said they never thought I could do so many things by myself. I just replied, 'I have to learn gradually to be able to help you when you're tired!'

Since that day, I have decided that even when my parents are no longer sick, I will still do small chores myself, work alongside my parents to strengthen our family bond, and love each other more.

2. A Tale of Expressing Love and Gratitude towards Parents, Model 2 (Standard)

Every day, I help my mom clean the house, cook meals, and hang laundry. Normally, my mom is cheerful, always praising and encouraging me, but that day she seemed different.

Since the morning, I noticed my mom being anxious at times, then eagerly looking out for something, only to be disappointed, quiet, and withdrawn afterward. I tried many things to cheer her up but only saw a faint smile from her. It wasn't until halfway through the day that I realized it was my mom's birthday, which both my dad and I seemed to have forgotten. This morning, Dad informed Mom about his work trip and that he would only be back the next day, perhaps that's why Mom was so sad. So, I decided to break my piggy bank where I kept my savings. I asked Aunt Linh to take me to buy a bouquet of flowers and a birthday cake. I remember Mom turning 34 this year, so I had to get candles with the numbers 3 and 4. Then, quietly, I brought everything home, trying not to let Mom know. In the evening, I invited our neighbors over, and together, we created a surprise birthday party for Mom. I could feel Mom's happiness then, she hugged me tightly and even remembered to video call Dad to share the moment.

Mom will always know the love I have for her, but I believe that unexpected surprises and timely care will strengthen that trust even more.

3. A Tale of Expressing Love and Gratitude towards Parents, Model 3 (Standard)

I'm a shy person, seeing kids in movies easily say 'I love you, Mom! I love you, Dad!' seemed effortless. But I've never dared to say such words. I decided to replace words with actions to show gratitude to my parents.

Today is Sunday, both my parents are at home. I decided that today I would help my parents with household chores so they could rest more. First, I took care of my personal hygiene, swept the house, and put my dirty clothes in the washing machine. Then I washed dishes, cleaned the table and chairs meticulously. At noon, when my mom cooked, I picked vegetables, washed them for her, and set the table ready. In the afternoon, I went to the garden with my mom to pick vegetables, pull weeds, and catch bugs. Some bugs made me a little scared but they were also cute and funny. In the cool evening, I played badminton with my dad for exercise, then went home with my mom to prepare dinner. Tonight's dinner was joyful, my parents asked me 'Why are you more diligent today than usual?', I replied 'Because I love you, Mom and Dad, whatever I can do to help, I will help you!'. After saying that, my parents both smiled brightly, and I knew they were very happy.

I hope gradually I will become more open and express my feelings more. Especially towards my parents, who have given me everything in this life.

Remembering the precious moments when my parents went above and beyond to care for me.

Reflecting on instances that brought joy to my parents, and the lessons learned from my mistakes that saddened them.
