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

　　我有一个幸福的家庭。尽管家里只有很少几件家具而且房内显得有些零乱，但我却很爱我家。

　　爸爸是一位工程师，年龄将近50岁。作为·党员；他常常工作到深夜，在读书时他甚至能把自己忘了。曾经有一次吃晚饭时，我觉得汤淡得没味。很快真相大白，原来是爸爸埋头于读书而忘了加盐。

　　我妈妈很和蔼可亲。她是一名小学老师。她很喜欢她的学生和她的工作，把全部心血投入到了工作中。我们的衣服都是由裁缝做的，她因为太忙而．没时间给我们缝制。作为家庭主妇，她几乎做了全部家务。所以她是全家最忙的人。

　　我家有很多藏书，我们很喜欢读书。闲暇时间，读书便是我们的最大爱好。晚上是我们家最幸福的时光。我们通常坐在父母的房间里读书、讨论我们感兴趣的问题。

　　我爱我家，它不仅给我快乐、温暖，而且教我做人。
