One's education starts from
family, especially 1 his or her mother. Here is a story that
happened in my childhood.
One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with my two
brothers. My mum 2 several apples of different colors and sizes.
She put all the apples on the table, then 3 me and my younger brothers, "Which do you
like?" 4 my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest
one. 5 I could say "The biggest one", one
of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.
My mum 6 the biggest apple and said to us, "It is 7 to get the biggest apple. Many people want the
best thing, but few really get it. Now let's start a 8 . Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our 9.
I'll divide it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) 10 own share. The best and quickest one will be 11 the biggest apple." I won the apple
finally.
Since then, I have learned to try my best to
succeed whenever I get a chance. I work 12 to get what I want. That was what my mother
advised me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very
basic but the most 13 lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what
we want 14 competing. My mother kept teaching us in this
way and we followed her 15 all the time.
I do believe that mother is the first teacher
of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.
