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.

　　【參考譯文】

　　我母親是個善良溫柔的女人。她總是很溫柔。她照顧好她的孩子，使他們都在學校。我有一個哥哥和兩個姐姐。所以她總共有四個孩子。她給了我們所有的安慰。我們都愛她，她也愛我們。

　　我母親在養育我們方面有太多的事要做。由于我們家太窮了，不能養傭人，我母親總是做很多工作。她起得很早，每天睡得很晚。她工作很努力，但毫無怨言。

　　她也是一個勤儉節約的女人。她盡可能節省每一分錢，并使一切有序。她從小就很忙，看上去比實際年齡大。她的臉皺了，頭發變白了，但她仍然像以前一樣努力工作。

　　她經常對我們說，工作時工作，玩樂時玩樂。如果你不工作，你就會變得懶惰，對社會毫無用處。這是什么好建議?!我們必須好好珍惜，永遠記住它。
