四、范文
范文一:
 There are four members in my family: My parents, my cute cat of 9 years old and me. My father is a technician in the Fujian TV Station. He often goes out on business. So most of the housework is done by my industrious mom. Climbing at weekends is our common interest. The fresh air and natural beauty can help us get rid of tiredness. They can strengthen our relation, too. During my preparing for coming here, my parents' love and support have always been my power. And I hope in future I will be able to repay them.
范文二:
 It's my great honor to talk about my family. My family is very warm and harmonious. My parents are typical Chinese farmers. Both of them are diligent and kind. In order to support the family and pay the expensive tuition fee, my father always goes to many big cities to find some jobs. Then he can earn more money. Though it's very difficulty and toilful, he can stick on a whole year.
 While my father goes out, all the work in the family is left for my mother. She has to deal with all the housework and farm work. She devotes all her efforts to the family, but she never complains. Besides, she has to look after my little sister, who is very lovely and docile.
 That's my family, plain but melodious. I know that knowledge can change one's life. So I will study harder, no matter how difficulty it is. I will stick on and never give up. Then I will repay my parents, using all my efforts to make my family better and better. In the end, I hope you can give me a chance to further my education. Only in this way can I create a steady and more hopeful condition to change my life and my family.
 That's all. Thank you!
