My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative¹ to keep up with the times. However, she is good-natured and treats others incerely. For this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased) to make friends with her. They consider her a model woman.

She is a typical housewife. She keeps the (her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says to us, “You cannot study too ard.”

我母亲是中国老式女子。她太保守无法跟上时代。然而，她性情善良，待人诚恳。基于此种理由，所有她的邻居都十分高兴和她结交朋友。他们认为她是模范女子。

她是一位标准的家庭主妇。她把家保持整洁。她小心翼翼地照顾我们。她时常对我们说：“你们越用功越好”。
