I get up early and feel a little different. I am a 12-year-old boy now, and I want to try a new way for my birthday. My mother says they don’t have a big party for me but they will give me a surprise. She takes me to the park near our home. I see a small tree in my father’s hand. He gives me the tree and says, “This is your birthday gift.” I am surprised and I think, “This can be meaningful.” We start to work together. I dig a hole (挖洞) by myself. It is not easy, and my arms are tired. I want to stop but my mother says, “Try again.” So I keep working. When we put the tree in the hole, I’m happy to see it stand there quietly. My father says, “A tree needs time to grow, and people are the same.” Then I make a wish and plan to work hard at school and do my duty at home. On the way back home from the park, I think of the tree and smile. I’d like to watch it grow with me. In the future, when it is tall, I will also remember the feeling in my heart: growing up means trying again. I will learn to take responsibility (责任). The tree will grow day by day, and I will grow day by day, too. This is the best gift for me. 11. How old is the writer? _____________________________________________________________________ 12.
