Gloria Min Ye Young, Year 7, Taylor’s International School

My Mother

My mother’s name is Kwan Hai Jin. She is 38 years old. She is the most powerful person in our family. She is the queen in my home. I cannot live without her. She is a wonderful mother.

Firstly, my mother is like a friend. She listens to my problems very seriously. When I was very sad and tired, she told me what to do and I could overcome it. I was crying and my mother hugged me without saying anything. It was very effective. She is always curious about my boyfriends and my stories and I can tell her everything because I trust her completely. Moreover, we watch dramas and do exercises together. When I said that I wanted to watch some drama, she said she also wanted to watch it so we watch it together every day. 

Secondly, my mother is a good chef. My friends also like my mother’s food. She works as a cooking instructor. She has taught me to cook many dishes. She’s a famous cooking teacher in Kuala Lumpur. Everyone wants to learn cooking from her.  When I was nine years old, she baked me a delicious cheesecake. It is my favourite type of cake. I like only my mother’s cheesecake. Other than the cake, she also made Korean food and local food for my birthday party.

Lastly, she is a good teacher. Sometimes, she is my Math teacher. Whenever I don’t know how to solve a Math question, she teaches me very patiently. She can take up to two hours to teach me three pages but she doesn’t give up. When she is teaching me, I don’t notice the time passing. Furthermore, when I ask her questions, she answers all the questions very clearly. My mother is a Liberal Arts graduate so she also teaches me History. I like Korean history. When I ask her about history, she tells me the events in an interesting way. When she is describing the events, I can understand them very easily. 

In conclusion, I don’t think I can learn, talk or exercise without my mother. Until I get married, I will live with my mother. She is the best mother in the world.
