My Mother

My mother is just over fifty, a little bit older than our republic nation, so she has experienced two periods just like our country, showing both the traditional goodness and modern ideas.

Like all mothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. So sometimes I feel regretful for her to give up her work, but she thinks it is the proper social role for a woman to be a housewife. She is satisfied with the family members＇ achievements. She insists on keeping her children under her wings. You see how traditional she is.

However, since she is intelligent①and has received the high education, it is easy for her to accept something new. In recent years, she is interested in the stock②. Therefore, she cares about the political and economic③ situation of the country and the world, and actively collects information of the companies whose stocks she bought. What is more, she is a fan of the Argentine④football team. So she was very sad after the defeat of this team in the 14th World Cup Tournament ⑤.

I love my mother, just because she loves me. Since we share some interests such as playing chess, we get chances to communicate⑥with each other, which makes us close friends.

【词语解释】

①intelligent[in＇telidN nt] a．聪明的；明智的

②stock[st&k] n．股票

③economic[?i:k ＇n&mik] a．经济（上）的

④Argentine [＇a:dN ntain] a．阿根廷的

⑤tournament [＇tu n m nt]n．锦标赛；比赛

⑥communicate[k ＇mju:nikeit]v．交流（感情、信息等）

【写法指要】

这是一篇介绍家庭成员的说明文。本文是典型的启、承、转、合结构的文章。“启”就是开始，即引言段，作者在该段写出篇题：“showing both traditional goodness and modern ideas”，指出“母亲”既保持了传统美德，又接受了现代意识。“承”即接续之意，也就是扩充引言段篇题方面的内容。本文第二段写“母亲”的传统美德，就是“承”的段落。“转”是用来表示与第二段相反或不同意见的内容，常用“however，but”等词语来表达。本文第三段即为“转”段，它说明篇题的第二层意思，也就是“母亲”的现代意识。所谓“合”就是结束，即指结尾段，该段往往综合前三段内容，对全文做一总结。本文作者总结说，由于母亲和自己的情趣相同，所以他们相亲相爱，如同亲密无间的朋友似的。

My mother is sixty-three years old, and for the last forty year she has

been the village doctor. She has a small clinic that she prepares medicine and

treats small injuries, and also sells canned powder milk. Our house has people

in and out at all hours of the day and night. The villagers always like to come

to her clinic to see the doctor and to meet their neighbors, too. Almost all the

villagers come to my mother when their baby is due. My mother is very good at

predicting the day the baby will come. Sometimes my mother will not get enough

sleep if the babies come late at night or early in the morning. There are

special rooms for the mother and baby, and usually they stay at the doctors

house about twenty-four hours. We always like to see the new babies get their

first bath because they look so red and small. All the village people know and

trust my mother because she is such a quiet, kind, and experienced friend of

theirs.

A Letter to My Mom

Dear Mom，

I recently read the book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom by Amy Chua. I found that you and Ms. Chua have a lot in common in parenting. Today, I’ d like to share some of my views on this topic.

Childhood memories of your strict “dos” and "don’ts" came flooding back. Because count- less hours were invested on practicing musicalinsUu- ments, there was not even a slim chance for me to participate in parties and school plays, let alone fully enjoy the authentic pleasures of family life.Moreover, deprived of the freedom to choose hob- bies, I sometimes felt that I was just like a lonely pup- pet manipulated by others. Dear mother, do you be- lieve that time and time again I woke up from beau- tiful dreams with tears streaming down my face?

However, though Ive labeled it as a brutal regimen when I was young, as I became heavily involved inme outside world, I’ve come to realize that it was quite rewarding to have been tiger trained. As George Eliot putslt,"It never rains roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant trees". This is as true of 0ur growing up, especially in an unprecedentedly stressful so- cietyr, Fortunately, tiger parenting has equipped me with exceptional study habits,thus helping me stand out in the intense competition. Furthermore, it has endowed me with strong willpower as well as inner self-poise, which bas proved to be a most pre- cious quality of mine. Finally,thanks to your firm discipline, not cmly have I cultivateda discerning taste in art, but I’ve also built my own set of moral values. In view of all these facts, tiger parenting has benefited me in the lorlg run despite the cost of the immediate joy of a normal carefree cbildhood.

Now, looking back on my childhood with your specialparenting method,I want to extend my sincerest appreciauon to you, my dear mother. As I am to commence my college life now,I promise you that Ill improve myself ina "tiger" way, going all out to fulfill all of my dreams.

Love,

Daughter

十多年前的某一天，我们的父母用泪水和幸福的笑容迎接了我们的到来。但当我们来到世上的那一刻起，父母们却多了一项繁重的工作——照顾我们。

尽管这是一种沉重的负担，但父母们却毫无怨言地抚养我长大。为了给我们一个舒适的生活环境，他们总是那么辛苦，那么努力。小的时候，我总把这当作天经地义，因为我不了解，也不知道父母的辛苦。

现在，我长大了，我知道该怀着一颗感恩之心去体谅父母，应该担当起，照顾、孝敬父母的责任。刚刚过去的星期天是我20岁的生日，那天，我首先想到的就是要感恩父母，因为有了父母才有了我，才使我有机会在这五彩缤纷的世界里体味人生的冷暖，享受生活的快乐与幸福，是他们给了我生命，给了我无微不至的关怀。儿女有了快乐，最为之开心的是父母，儿女有了苦闷，最为之牵挂的也是父母。

(Mothers Eyes)

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes alwaysgave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

Grateful mother, is she taught me to learn to be, is she taught me how to communicate with partners communicate with each other, is she taught me to help and love from person to person. Is the most profound in my memory on one occasion, my mother and I go home together, home cousin are playing a game model of the toys, I also very want to play a gun up, but my cousin take back, I was punched in the past, my cousin also dont get back to me, so we played together. When my mother saw hurriedly pulled me aside to. Because I am the only child in the home at ordinary times, everybody affectionately to me, this let me formed the character of swashbuckling would not agree. Wanted to mom this time will call my cousin to give me play the toy, but mother didnt do that, but pulled me aside to me to apologize to my cousin. At first I hated cousin very much in the heart, which will easily agree? Mother looked at will comfort me and patiently enlighten me, give me about the story of "jung let pear". After listening to the story, I also recognize the fault, and apologize to my cousin to apologize. Since then my Cousins and I are very friendly to get along, never quarrel with each other. Mothers teachings in my young mind leave deep memory, in my own life to learn to be nice, tolerance, apologize to each other.

Grateful mother, is she gave me the most unselfish love, she is always worried about my food, clothing, shelter, line. Thank for a mother for giving me the concern of dribs and drabs. The ancients cloud: "dripping of grace, when animals are reported". Ancient huang-xiang temperature had seats, carp lying ice... The story of 24 filial piety. This is Chinas mule Meng Peijie touched story. But now there is something in my gratitude for the mother of way, also dont finish. From now, I want to help my mother share housework more at ordinary times, reduce the mothers work, study hard work more at ordinary times, in order to reduce the worry about mother. Give mother some greetings, as she poured tea water, wipe the sweat back rubs.

All in all, to thank for a mother for too much too much, I remember meng jiao has become a "the wanderer", "the loving mother hand line, wandering onto clothing. Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay. Who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui." Now I also send the poem to my mother, to express my gratitude to my mother.

感恩母亲，是她教会我学会做人，是她教会我如何去与伙伴们相互沟通交流，是她教会我人与人之间要互助互爱。在我记忆最深刻的是有一次，我和妈妈一起回老家，老家的表哥正在玩一个游戏模型玩具，我见了也很想玩就一把抢了过来，可表哥又抢了回去，我便一拳打过去，表哥也不让回打了我，于是我们便打了起来。这时妈妈见了急忙把我拉到一边去。平时因我是家中独生子，大家都对我疼爱有加，这让我养成了霸气十足不肯服输的个性。本想妈妈这回会叫表哥把玩具让给我玩，可是妈妈却没那样做，而是把我拉到一边要我向表哥道歉。起初我心中非常恨表哥，哪肯轻易服输呢?妈妈见状就不断安慰我并耐心地启迪我，给我讲起了“孔融让梨”的故事。听了这个故事后我也认识到了自已的错，便向表哥道歉认错。从那以后我跟表哥之间都非常友好地相处，再也没吵架过。母亲的教诲在我幼小的心灵留下深刻的记忆，使我在自己的生活中学会友善待人、互相宽容、互相歉让。

感恩母亲，是她把最无私的爱给了我，是她时时刻刻牵挂着我的衣、食、住、行。感谢母亲给予我的点点滴滴的关心。古人云：“滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”。古有黄香温席、卧冰求鲤……二十四孝的故事。今有感动中国孝女孟佩杰的故事。可如今的我对母亲的感恩有千言万语也道不尽，诉不完。从今起，我平时要多帮妈妈分担家务，减少母亲的操劳，平时多努力学习功课，以减少母亲的操心。多给母亲一些问候，为她倒茶端水，擦汗捶背。

总之，要感谢母亲的事太多太多了，我记起孟郊曾作过一首《游子吟》，“慈母手中线，游子身上衣。临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。”如今我也把这首诗送给我的母亲，以表达我对母亲的感恩之情。

There’s no doubt that my mother gives all her love to me. I do believe she is a great person who makes my life beautiful and meaningful.

She is an easygoing and kind woman with bright eyes and a lovely smile. Although she is often busy, I still feel that I am taken good care of by her. It’s a great pleasure to chat with her when I get into troubles. She always encourages me not to give up and tries to cheer me up by coming up with good solutions. In addition, I am fascinated by her cooking and writing.

With her love, I feel like a fish swimming happily in a beautiful sea. I’ll cherish her love forever.

My mother is also a thrifty and industrious woman。 She saves every penny that she can to keep everything in order。 As she has been busy ever since she was young， she looks older than she really is。 Her face is wrinkled， her hair becomes silver white， some of her teeth become movable。 But she works as hard as ever。

My mother often says to us，" work while you work， play while you play。 If you did not work， you will become lazy and of no use to the society。" What a good piece of advice it is！ We must worth it well and always keep it in our minds。

[描写自己母亲的英语作文

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, shed lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.

I dont remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didnt say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didnt tell her I was sorry.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and Im not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. Shes been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girls stomach or soothe a boys scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.

Through the years, my mothers hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before automatic washers!

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: "Dont do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Moms hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember, as I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

My mother gave birth to me with exceptionally difficult labor. Father received an emergency notice and was faced with a choice between the adult and the infant. Of course,the adult. So my coming into this world was an unexpected fortune at the price of Mothers painful insistence. Thus my 20 years began like this my mother exerted every effort to give me love, but I returned her with a deep scar that was to stay with her all through my growth.

My mother is a senior high school English teacher. Under standably, she wanted her daughter to pick up English early to give her an edge to later study, which I did not understand at the age of eight. I was so obsessed with fun and games that I hated to stay peacefully with all those strange phonetic symbols and odd words. I wondered what pleasure Mother seemed to have found in teaching me A,B, C. Wasnt teaching at school tire some enough for her? I went on strike, refusing to spell a single word no matter how tender or severe Mother tried to be with me. For the first time in my life, Mother beat me, imprinting on my mind. The physical pain was gone long, long ago. But I have finally come to understand how it pained my mother to beat me for my obstinacy and disobedience, and I ache at her pain.

A Mother

She is a 95-year-old mother, nameless.

At the first sight of her, the thing that will easily come into your mind is a dried poplar tree in the desert, everywhere on her asserting the ruthless carvings of time: A head of silver white hair sparsely remains upon her wrinkled forehead, eyes small and deep-set. Her hands, crawled with spots and calluses, are as rough as the pine bark; they are bony, yet disproportionately large. Her back, so strikingly bent and arched, silently bears the burden that life has imposed on her. With vitality and strength drained by years of hardships, she can only rely on a stick to support her frail and skeletal body.

She lived in a shabby small house with her 58-year old son. For 19 years, she would come to the bed where her son lies, putting a handkerchief under his mouth, and then carefully feeding a spoon of porridge to him with her slightly quivering hand. When her son mechanically opens his mouth, she will seize the chance to rip a piece of bread for him. After finishing the meal, she will contentedly smile to her son, with her cheek rumpled together. She does that because her son was paralyzed 19 years ago with schizophrenia. In order not to add burden to her other children who had already lived on government subsidy, she took the responsibility to take care of her son. Thus, everyday, she gets up at about five, cooking, changing and washing diapers for him, and then bathing, feeding him; at the end of the day, she can only go to bed after her son sleeps. She tries her best to make him clean and comfortable. Some people once advised her to send him to the welfare home, but she refused. She often murmurs to her son, “so long as you are alive, I will not die.”

Even though she lives under such a poor condition, she has principles to adhere to in receiving aids from others. An entrepreneur in Shanghai, moved by her story, decided to donate 100,000RMB to her and her son, who lived on the basic living allowance of only 400 a month. However, she gratefully refused, without a second thought. Even when she does accept others’ bits of kindness, she will hospitably treat them with a nice meal or send them local specialties that she can afford to express her gratitude. She often mumbles, “We’ve received enough from the government. There is no need to give us more. It’s nothing for me to look after my son; after all, he is my son.”

To her, her son is the only strength that keeps her going, the sole meaning for her life, as well as the deepest concern in her heart.

Again, with her gaunt and bent body, her image as a withered but still standing poplar tree brightens before my eyes.

My mother is 36 this year,but she looks young. She has two big eyes, a smally noose snd a smally mouth. Her hair is long and brown. She is a beauiful woman.

My mother is a nurse. She works in a People Hospital. She often wears a white uniform. No wonder people call nurses “white angle”. She works carefully and she is friendly to her patints. They all like her. She is busy. Every day, she works for eight hour in a day time. Sometimes, she is on duty in the evening. After work in the afternoon she goes back home. She makes a big dinner for father and me. It is a delicious meal, decause she is goodat cooking.

I love my mother, I think she is the best mother in the world.
