My Mother isa kind and gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We all love her and she loves us also.

　　My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without complaining.

　　She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

　　Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

　　我的母親是一位心地善良、性情溫和的女性。她總是彬彬有禮。她細心地照顧孩子并使他們都上學讀書。我有一個哥哥，兩個妹妹，所以她總共有四個孩子。她使我們做每件事時都感到舒適。我們都愛她，她也愛我們。

　　為了撫養我們，母親有太多的事要做。因為我們家很窮，雇不起傭人，母親總是必須做很多工作。她每天起早貪黑，辛苦地工作，從無怨言。

　　她又是一位節儉勤勉的婦女。她盡可能地節省每一分錢，并且使每一件事情都井井有條。由于年輕時就一直忙碌，所以從外表看上去更見蒼老。她的臉布滿皺紋，頭發也變成了灰白，但她仍像從前一樣辛勤地操勞。

　　她常對我們說：“工作時工作，玩樂時玩樂，如果不工作，你將變得懶惰，從而無益于社會。”這是一番多么好的忠告啊!我們必須珍視它，并將它牢記心中。
