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.

我的妈妈是一个善良温柔的女人。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。她给了我们每一个安慰。我们都爱她，她也爱我们。
我母亲有太多要做的事，不能把我们养大。因为我们家太穷了，不能养佣人，我妈妈总是做很多工作。她每天起得很早，睡得很晚。她努力工作，但没有抱怨。
她也是一个节俭，勤劳的女人。她省下每一分钱，使一切保持秩序。她一直在忙于eversince她年轻，她看上去比实际年龄老。她的脸上布满皱纹，头发变成了银白色，但她仍然像以往一样努力工作。
她经常对我们说，工作时工作，玩乐时玩耍。如果你不工作，你会变得懒惰，对社会毫无用处。这是什么好建议!我们一定要好好珍惜，永远把它记在心里。
