I wake up early every day,it’s usually about am,and wait until I hear Tilly,my mum,moving about.Then I make her a cup of tea.At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together.We normally just have toast,but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs.After breakfast she reads the newspaper,then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by.我每天早起，通常是大约，等直到我听到了提莉，我的妈妈，移动。我让她喝一杯茶。在大约七点半她和我们一起吃早餐。我们通常只吃烤面包，但是星期天我们总是吃熏肉和鸡蛋。早饭后她读报纸，然后她坐在窗前，当邻居们走过，她向他们挥挥手。

She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance,so she goes to the hairdresser once a month.她很少出门，她很为她的容貌自豪，所以她去理发师那里，每月一次。

She doesn’t like being left on her own for very long,so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out.Now and again,my friend and neighbour,Joan,comes to spend the day with her,and I can go and have lunch with another friend,May,who lives in town.

她不喜欢我离开很长时间，所以我总是安排一个邻居来陪她，当我出去的时候。现在，我的朋友和邻居，琼，来陪她，我可以与另一个朋友去吃午饭，她叫梅，她住在城里。

I have a brother,Syd.He comes to stay two or three times a year.He is very good and keeps in touch,but he lives 300 miles away.Once a year,he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week.She doesn’t really like going because it’s a long journey,but I need the rest.

我有一个弟弟，西德妮。他来和我们呆一起一年两次或三次。他很好，保持联系，但他住在300英里之外。一年一次，他收集妈妈的东西，带她去伦敦呆一周。她真的不喜欢，因为这将是一个漫长的旅程，但我需要休息。

Sally,the nurse,comes to see mum regularly.My next-door neighbour,Jack,often calls in.In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards.Mum is fantastic for her age.But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously.I always have to plan it,so I feel a bit trapped.But what is the alternative，An old people’s home I couldn’t do that to my mother.

萨莉，护士，经常来看看妈妈。我的隔壁邻居，杰克，经常来拜访。在晚上我们通常看电视，有时候我们打牌。妈妈对她的年龄难以置信。但我不能决定自发去哪里。我总是有计划，所以我觉得有点困。但什么是选择，一个老人家，我对我的母亲做不到。
