英文小作文：

Today I was lucky enough to receive a surprise gift from my friend. I was so excited that I couldn"t help knocking on wood to show my gratitude. It made me think about how important it is to appreciate the little things in life, like a cup of hot coffee in the morning or a rainbow after the rain. We often get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that we forget to take a moment to appreciate what we have. At the drop of a hat, I"ll remember to be grateful for all the good things in my life, and at my peril, I"ll remember to be mindful of what I"m thankful for. It"s important to stay on our toes and keep moving forward, but it"s also essential to take a breather and appreciate the moment.
