Buying flowers what most students would do.However，I wanted to do something .As then I lived in school and couldnt go back home on Mothers Day， I decided to call her and her my best wishes.I searched the Internet for suggestions， were very useful，and I read carefully.When I called my mother，however，I had the that someone elses words would have no meaning to her.So I gave and just told my mother I loved her and thanked her all she had done for me.第一处：most前加the。考查冠词。母亲节前一天，我周围的所有人都在谈论什么是他们将为母亲买的最合适的礼物。根据句意可知，此处为形容词的最高级，故在most前加the。第二处：werewas。考查主谓一致。动名词短语Buying flowers作主语时谓语动词需用单数形式，故将were改为was。第三处：differentlydifferent。考查形容词。修饰不定代词something需用形容词。注意：different在此作后置定语。第四处：去掉so。考查连词。as“因为”，引导原因状语从句，故后面的so多余。第五处：sentsend。考查动词。and连接的不是并列的谓语动词，而是不定式，第二个不定式前的to承前省略了。第六处：whatwhich。考查定语从句。先行词为suggestions，非限制性定语从句缺主语，故用关系代词which引导。注意：what不可引导定语从句。第七处：itthem。考查代词。指代前面的suggestions，需用复数代词them。第八处：feelfeeling。考查名词。feel作名词表示“触觉，印象”，而feeling作名词表示“想法，意见，感觉”，显然此处要用feeling。第九处：inup。考查动词短语。give in是“让步，屈服”的意思，与语义不符。give up意为“放弃”，符合语境要求。第十处：tofor。考查介词。此处表示我感谢妈妈为我做过的一切。thank sb.for sth.“为某事感谢某人”为固定用法。
