参考范文A Determined and Considerate Mother--Emily from First Principles Emily is Laura’s mother in the text First Principles. Poor as she is, she is very considerate towards others. As a wife, mother and homemaker, she is determined, kind-hearted, selfless, sympathetic and already ready to help others. In my opinion, she is a good wife, who can put herself in her husband’s shoes. When her husband is out of work, she doesn’t blame him or complain. When her husband tells her that his brother needs some money badly, she decides to give him 500 dollars without any reluctance. However, they cannot spend Christmas the way they celebrated it like before with so little money left. That’s the reason why she decides to turn to first principles. That is, giving something memorable to one’s beloved according to one’s ability. Then she breaks the news gently to her children and takes them the countryside, where they have had a very meaningful Christmas. As a mother and homemaker, she is very determined and has a very strong sense of responsibility. Though her family is not well-off, she decides to give her children best education, especially her little daughter, Laura. She keeps her home very neat and tidy. Therefore, all the family feel great warmth at home. In a word, Emily is a great mother who possesses almost all good virtues that I can ever think of. How lucky it is for her husband to have such a kind wife and for her children to have such a considerate mother! (246 words)
