Possible answer the above speaking cue card:
I've got a small family with only five members and all of us are very close to each other and we love each other very much. Among them, I love my mother more than anyone else in the whole world. I adore my mother for her caring, loving, adorable behaviors and wit. She is the person I can share everything with and that's the reason I worship her so much.
Possibly she was the first human I saw when I opened my eyes in this
world. A relationship with a mother is divine and all of my childhood
memories are either related to my mom or my school. I can still remember
a day I was late to come back home after school and that's because
there was a ceremony at the school I did not know about. All of a
certain I found that my mother was entering through the school gate to
find me. I was so frightened that my mother would rebuke me for being
late unnoticed and she must be mad at me. But to my best surprise, when
my mother saw me she had a warm smile on her face that I'll never
forget till my last breath on this earth. Then she hugged me and gave me
a kiss. I felt then that I love my mother more than me. She attended
the program at the school and afterwards we came back home together.
I spent my 19 years or so with my father and mother but I stay at a
metropolitan city now for my education. Whenever I get a vacation, I
meet my mother at my village home. On an average, I spend 2/3 months
with my mother each year but I talk to her over the phone almost twice a
day.
The reasons why I admire her are endless. She is caring, tender, she
has got a big heart and she possesses a great love for everyone. She had
been an ideal mother to raise 3 kids and making sure our education and
moral values. She had made a lot of sacrifices all of her life and had
never complained about anything to my best knowledge. She is the person
who reminds me the power of love and caring.
