What did you do last weekend?

I did agricultural works and clean a drain last weekend. May 10th is Mother's day in Japan, when sons and daughters tell their mother appreciation and do something for her. Therefore, I helped to put soil and fertilizer into planters and to plant vegetable seedlings for her kitchen gardening. Also, because the drain near our house is so dirty due to sludge, I removed that. (This message was written on May 15th)

I did agricultural work and cleaned a drain last weekend. May 10th is Mother's day in Japan, when sons and daughters show appreciation for their mothers and do something for them. Therefore, I helped to put soil and fertilizer into planters and to plant vegetable seedlings for my mother's kitchen garden. Also, because the drain near our house is so dirty due to sludge, I removed it. (This message was written on May 15th)

1. As you are talking about one collective kind of work, agricultural, 'work' is preferred.
2. As this has already happened the past tense 'cleaned' is used.
3. This is a clearer way to express what children do on these days.
4. 'them' is used to refer to the mothers previously mentioned.
5. This is added for detail and clarity.
6. 'kitchen garden' seems more appropriate to show what kind of garden it is.
7. 'it' is the correct preposition to use to show what you removed.

It was kind and filial of you to do all these things for your mother. Do you always do something for her on Mother's Day?

This four to five years, I gave her some presents such as hair dryer and cakes. Also, my young brother gave her bouquet then. What's your recommendation for the presents?

自然な表現

Over the past four to five years, I gave her some presents such as a hair dryer and cakes. Also, my young brother gave her some bouquets as well. What's your recommendation for presents?

1. This is the better way to express the duration you are talking about.
2. Article 'a' describes the kind of gadget.
3. We assume there was more than one over the years, therefore, 'some bouquets' is preferred.
4. 'as well' is preferred to 'then' for context.
5. 'the' isn't necessary.

You have been a good daughter indeed. I think presents depend on what your mother likes, but something more personal is better. Are days such as Mother's Day and Father's Day necessary?

I think those days are necessary because it is easier to tell my mother and father an appreciation then than in usual days.

自然な表現

I think those days are necessary because it is easier for me to to show my appreciation for my parents then compared to regular days.

1. This is a clear sentence arrangement.
2. We can use 'parents' as you are talking about both of them.
3. 'compared to' can be used to avoid the confusion of 'then than'.
4. 'regular' best describes the kind of days.

They are important days indeed, but I think they have been commercialised. Too many companies take advantage of the day to market their products. Does that also happen in Japan?

As you said, that also happens in Japan. A variety of the presents are helpful for me.

自然な表現

As you said, that also happens in Japan. Having a variety of presents is quite helpful.

1. This is a clearer way to express what the variety of presents is.
