My mother´s birthday present My father does not like go shoping, so every year, on my mother´s birthday, he asks me to buy a present for her. It´s not easy, because my mother is a very austere woman. She never needs anything and she thinks that she has too much clothes, shoes, bags, etc.... She was born in the last year of the Civil War, and since she was a child she learned the value of the things. In this world, in which every jumper lasts only one year, in which we change our courtains because this season blue is the fashionest color, I am thankful of my mother continues asking me if I have any pair of trourses of my children to cut for the summer. I don´t know what I´ll buy this year, but I know that nothing will make her the happiest that all my brothers and their families, and me with my husband and my children go for lunch on her birthday. She is a very good cook!!

My mother´s birthday present

My father does not like to go (or.. doesn't like going) shopping so every year, on my mother´s birthday, he asks me to buy a present for her. It´s not easy because my mother is a very austere woman. She never needs anything and she thinks that she has too much many clothes, shoes, bags, etc. She was born in the last year of the Civil War, and since she was as a child (or.. from an early age) she learned the value of the things. In this world, in which every a jumper only lasts only one year, in which we change our courtains curtains because this season blue is the fashionest color fashionable, I am thankful of that my mother continues asking to ask me if I have any pair of trourses of my children to cut for the summer any of my children have trousers that need shortening for the summer.
I don´t know what I´ll buy this year, but I know that nothing will make her the happiest happier that than if all my brothers and their families, and me with and my husband and my children go for lunch on her birthday. (or.. than if me and my brothers and our families go to her house for lunch (or.. go out for lunch with her) on her birthday.)
She is a very good cook!!

Well written!

My mother´s birthday present

My father does not like go shopping so every year on my mother´s birthday, he asks me to buy a present for her. It´s not easy because my mother is a very austere woman. She never needs anything and she thinks that she has too many clothes, shoes, bags, etc. She was born in the last year of the Civil War and since she was a child, she learned the value of things. In this world in which every jumper only lasts one year, in which we change our curtains because, this season, blue is the most fashionable colour, I am thankful that my mother continues to ask me if I have any of my children's old trousers to cut for the summer.

I don´t know what I´ll buy this year but I know that nothing will make her happier than if all my brothers and their families, and me, my husband and my children were to go for lunch on her birthday.

She is a very good cook!!

A lovely piece of writing! I wasn't sure what you meant by the phrase in bold - do you mean trousers to cut the legs off of and make into shorts? Or trousers to cut down to fit a smaller size?
