A Happy Family

　　I have a happy family. Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, I love my home very much.

　　My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old. As a Party member, quite often he works late into the night. He even forgets himself when he is reading. Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery. It soon became clear that my father, deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.

　　I have a kind mother. She is a primary school teacher. She loves her pupils and her job very much and puts all her heart into her work. All our clothes are made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us. As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework. So she is the busiest one in our family.

　　We all keep a lot of books and we love reading. During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby. Evening is the happiest hour in our family. We usually sit in my parents room, reading and discussing everything we're interested in.

　　I love my family. It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.

　　幸福的家庭

　　我有一個幸福的家庭。盡管家里只有很少幾件家具而且房內顯得有些零亂，但我卻很愛我家。

　　爸爸是一位工程師，年齡將近50歲。作為·黨員；他常常工作到深夜，在讀書時他甚至能把自己忘了。曾經有一次吃晚飯時，我覺得湯淡得沒味。很快真相大白，原來是爸爸埋頭于讀書而忘了加鹽。

　　我媽媽很和藹可親。她是一名小學老師。她很喜歡她的學生和她的工作，把全部心血投入到了工作中。我們的衣服都是由裁縫做的，她因為太忙而．沒時間給我們縫制。作為家庭主婦，她幾乎做了全部家務。所以她是全家最忙的人。

　　我家有很多藏書，我們很喜歡讀書。閑暇時間，讀書便是我們的最大愛好。晚上是我們家最幸福的時光。我們通常坐在父母的房間里讀書、討論我們感興趣的問題。

　　我愛我家，它不僅給我快樂、溫暖，而且教我做人。
