Then I went to buy two gifts, one of it I gave it to my mother, and told her that is from my father, and I gave another gift to my father and told her it was from my mother. During this thing, I think I do my responsibility as a daughter. I make my parents retire their relationship again.

I think the famous sports in my country is Ping-pong. It is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight, hollow ball back and forth with rackets. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. A skilled player can impart several varieties of spin to the ball, altering its trajectory and limiting and limiting an opponent's options to great advantage.
