    My Mother’s Hands

   50 years ago, for some reason, I was not accepted by the school. However, it was my mum, who held my little hands and tried countless schools and managed to get me registered

   50 years later, the day after my mother had slipped into a coma from a stroke, I sat next to her, holding her hand, stroking it, watching her body heaved up and down as she breathed heavily, like she was struggling with something.

   A few days later. Mum died. At her bedside, I spent some time just looking at my mother, soaking in the finality of her death. There she was, my mother, motionless and lifeless. I took hold of her still warm but lifeless hand, holding it for the last time, recalling every piece of precious moment we spent together. . .

   I finally let go of her hand---1ifeless, yet having given so much life to so many of us---and placed it next to her body. I found myself saying silently to her the only words that came to my mind, “Goodbye Mum, thank you for everything.”

   Thank you, Mother, for not giving up, so that I could go to school. Thank you for coaching me, for reading to me, for ironing my school uniforms, for combing my hair, for tying my shoe laces, for making sure I had a little handkerchief inside my pocket…

   Rest in peace, Mother, you are still very much alive in us. Happy Mother's Day

參考范文:1

   The writer expresses his gratitude for his mother’s dedication and endless effort in raising him. In his memory, it is her hand that leads him through various moments in his life.

   Like the author, I also appreciate my mother for everything she devotes to bringing me up.

   My mother is a kind and gentle woman, a math teacher at a middle school .As a teacher she works diligently and treats the students patiently, so she is always praised and respected by both her students and colleagues alike. As Mother, she takes good care of me and offers me the best thing she can afford. Every day the moment she steps into the house after work, she sets about doing housework and preparing delicious dishes for me. My mother is a thrifty and industrious woman. She never buys expensive or fancy dresses for herself. Nor does she dine out in luxurious restaurants. Though she lives a simple life, she never complains.

   My mother not only sets me a good example in life, but also in work. She often says, "Work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay.” What a piece of good advice! I will always bear it in mind.

   As far as I am concerned, nothing can be compared to Mother’s love to me, and my gratitude to her is beyond words. The only thing I am able to do at present is to work hard and make greater progress in study, so that I can be her pride one day.

   The writer expresses his gratitude for his mother’s dedication and endless effort in raising him. In his memory, it is her hand that leads him through various moments in his life.

   The passage reminds me of my mother, from whom I learn to be a better person.

   Mum is an ordinary housewife. She is not beautiful, but she is very popular. You can always see her sitting together with some old ladies doing some little craftworks, with attention focused on the work while chatting with others. She always tells me, "Never put your palms upwards but downwards!" I didn’t know why, so I would stare at her hands whenever I had nothing to do. Then I found that they were busy doing cleaning, washing, cooking, and helping others. I never knew such short small and fat hands could do so many things. Holding her hands, I asked mum why we couldn’t put the palms upwards. She told me it meant we should never depend on others for help. Instead, we should try to solve problems ourselves or make our own bread. But if others needed help, we should give our hands at the fist second.

I forever bear in mind the lesson she taught me. To show my gratitude to her, I will spare no effort to work harder so that she can have a better life in the future.
