I explained to her the 4 I had of going to school. “Learning English is not 5 ，” my mother said. She cheerfully 6 the two of us work together to learn the language at home.The 7 and determination my mother had were admirable because English was as 8 to her as it was to me.
That afternoon，I saw my mother in a different light as she 9 me by the school fence. Although she was the 10 of all the mothers there，her face with her weling smile and big，black eyes was the most 11 .The afternoon sun shone 12 on her long，black hair creating an atmosphere that 13 her from others.
