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.

我母亲是个善良温柔的女人。她总是很温柔。她照顾好她的孩子，使他们都在学校。我有一个哥哥和两个姐姐。所以她总共有四个孩子。她给了我们所有的安慰。我们都爱她，她也爱我们。
我母亲在养育我们方面有太多的事要做。由于我们家太穷了，不能养佣人，我母亲总是做很多工作。她起得很早，每天睡得很晚。她工作很努力，但毫无怨言。
她也是一个勤俭节约的女人。她尽可能节省每一分钱，并使一切有序。她从小就很忙，看上去比实际年龄大。她的脸皱了，头发变白了，但她仍然像以前一样努力工作。
她经常对我们说，工作时工作，玩乐时玩乐。如果你不工作，你就会变得懒惰，对社会毫无用处。这是什么好建议?!我们必须好好珍惜，永远记住它。
