主题表达

I always expect to receive gifts. When I was a little girl, I couldn't be far away from home, and my parents never traveled with me either. By my 14 years old, the furthermost city I have ever been is Chenzhou, which is 318 km from my home. On this occasion, each time my father went to another city, he would bring me a small gift. Sometimes it' s an umbrella made of cloth, knitted bag or just a seashell. But they’re another world to me, and it seems like I have been there by myself! The gifts are my eyes and the love of my father.

Therefore, since I went to university, I hardly go back home even though it only covers the distance of 50 km. I'm crazy about traveling. Like my father, I also bring some small gifts to my roommates or friends, cause I wanna be their eyes and share my happiness with them as well. As to my parents, the most souvenirs they got are key rings.
