UNIT 1:
Which can describe you?
Describe someone in your family? (2)
What kind of person he or she is
I have got a nuclear family that has only four members. All of us love each other very much, and we share a strong bond and affection. It's pretty hard to pick someone among them I admire the most. Well, if I had to choose someone, it would be my mother. I want to thank you for this excellent topic and for the time you have allowed me to talk about the person in my family I admire deeply. I love my mother from the deepest core of my heart. I revere my mother for her adorable behavior on top of her smartness and loving nature. She is the person I can share everything with, which is why I greatly worship her. She is perky, charismatic, optimistic, and the ray of sunshine in my life. Possibly she is the first person I saw when I opened my eyes to this world. Someone's relationship with their mother is divine. I can still remember a childhood day when I was late to return home due to a program at the school I did not know about. After an hour or so, I noticed my mother at my school. I was horrified that my mother would be angry with me, and she would punish me. But when my mother saw me, she had a warm smile on her face. Then she hugged me passionately. At that moment, I realized how much she loves me and cares for my safety and well-being. To describe her more, I would say she is kind to all in a unique way and yet proactive and in control. She loves cooking, decorating homes with innovative ideas, and giving everyone hands. The reason I admire her, well - she is conscientious, compassionate, and possesses kindness and love for everyone. She is an ideal mother who raised three children and ensured their quality education and moral values. She has sacrificed a lot and has never complained about anything to us. She is the person who reminds me of the power of love and affection. How could I not admire her unconditionally?
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
Of course, I have an older brother who is my flesh and blood. He is 29 years old and tied the knot 2 years ago. However, he is still carefree and laid back, and I can not understand how he can set a good example for his son and daughter in the future.
What is your father’s name?
My father's name is Tham. He was 54 years old and passed away almost three years ago when I was studying in high school. He was diligent and courteous; my brother and I admired him very much.
Who do you look like in your family? What is his/her name?
When I was a small kid, I didn't believe that "The apple never falls far from the tree," but now I think it pretty much fits me. I resemble my mother in characteristics, namely: being conscientious, inquisitive, and chatty. Besides that, I also look like my father in appearance.
Have you got a pet? What is its name?
Being an animal lover, my and mother have brought up two cats in my house. On and off, they were rebellious and bit the tower and threw it everywhere in my house, and I felt I couldn't put up with them. However, they are so adorable with their big eyes and soft fur, and I can do anything.
