the rest of the class briefly on how these people
have influenced your life.

of me from my birth. She won’t scold me but she
advises me to do some work; she will support me if
I quarrel with my father. So I love her so much. I
pray God to let me be with her until
my last breath.

you played when you were children. Here you
