Text 1
My mother, Mrs. Erni, is very special to me. She teaches me many things and never scolds me whenever I make a mistake. She teaches me by giving examples from her actions, not instructions to do this and that. Through this way, I get clear descriptions of how I should behave.
For your information, she also teaches me how to cook so that I can be independent. I can cook my own meal whenever my mother isn’t at home. Therefore, I can save money as I don’t need to buy food. My mother always does everything on time and never delays finishing her jobs. That’s the way she teaches me to be disciplined. I willingly copy her and get many benefits. By being disciplined, I have lots of time to read books and learn many things as I always finish my assignments as soon as possible. My mother is always responsible for what she does. She asks for an apology at once she makes a mistake. So do I. Because of this, everyone respects us. Besides, I always dare to try new things. I really understand that success is only achieved through hard work. I never feel reluctant to ask for apologies. As a result, I can do many things and gain many experiences. For me, my mother is a really perfect mother and good teacher.
