My Mother
My mother is just over fifty, a little bit older than our republic nation, so she has experienced two periods just like our country, showing both the traditional goodness and modern ideas.
Like all mothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. So sometimes I feel regretful for her to give up her work, but she thinks it is the proper social role for a woman to be a housewife. She is satisfied with the family members' achievements. She insists on keeping her children under her wings. You see how traditional she is.
However, since she is intelligent①and has received the high education, it is easy for her to accept something new. In recent years, she is interested in the stock②. Therefore, she cares about the political and economic③ situation of the country and the world, and actively collects information of the companies whose stocks she bought. What is more, she is a fan of the Argentine④football team. So she was very sad after the defeat of this team in the 14th World Cup Tournament ⑤.
I love my mother, just because she loves me. Since we share some interests such as playing chess, we get chances to communicate⑥with each other, which makes us close friends.

【寫法指要】
這是一篇介紹家庭成員的說明文。本文是典型的啟、承、轉、合結構的文章。“啟”就是開始，即引言段，作者在該段寫出篇題：“showing both traditional goodness and modern ideas”，指出“母親”既保持了傳統美德，又接受了現代意識。“承”即接續之意，也就是擴充引言段篇題方面的內容。本文第二段寫“母親”的傳統美德，就是“承”的段落。“轉”是用來表示與第二段相反或不同意見的內容，常用“however，but”等詞語來表達。本文第三段即為“轉”段，它說明篇題的第二層意思，也就是“母親”的現代意識。所謂“合”就是結束，即指結尾段，該段往往綜合前三段內容，對全文做一總結。本文作者總結說，由於母親和自己的情趣相同，所以他們相親相愛，如同親密無間的朋友似的。
