There are many people I respect and admire. Usually they are those who are close to me and I see them almost every day. These people work much and do very many good things. One of them is my Mum. She is the person I really love. My Mum is beautiful and smart. She can do at home practically everything. She is a nice cook and hostess. Everything at home is usually clean and tidy. My Mum is well-educated. She has graduated from a University. She knows two foreign languages and likes her work very much. With children she is kind, polite and demanding. My mother never tells lies and teaches me to do the same. As well she is cheerful, merry and never sad. I think she is the best Mum in the world. I love her very much.
