Yesterday was my birthday. My mother made a big meal for me. There were lots of foods, but not every dish was fit for my taste. Some were sour, some were sweet, some were bitter and some were hot. I loved the food tasted sweet the most and dislike the bitter food. But my mother asked me to have a taste for each dish, because those dishes were another reflection of our life. Our life was full of sour, sweet, bitter, hot. When I experienced all of them, I grew up. I was confused, but I believed my mother. I hoped I can grow up sooner.

　　昨天是我的生日。我妈妈给我做了一顿大餐。有很多菜，不过不是每一道菜都合我口味。有的菜是酸的，有的是甜的，有的是苦的，还有的是辣的。我最喜欢的是甜的食物，最讨厌的有苦味的食物。但是，我妈妈让我把每道菜都尝尝，因为这些菜就像是我们的生活一样。我们的生活也是充满了酸，甜，苦，辣。当我都经历过这些后，我就长大了。我很困惑，但我相信我妈妈。希望我能早点长大。
