An older person who I admire is my grandmother. Her name is Nobuko. She is 72 years old. She used to have 11 siblings, but most of them died because of the second world war.
She used to work in electoric factory, taking care of her 3 children. The eldest is my mother.
My mother told me, she used to make lots of beautiful clothes for my mother, especially she was good at making one-piece dress. Before winter, she also used to knit sweaters by her hand.
Her hobby is gardening. She used to grow lots of flowers in front of her house, but now she grows some herbs and vagetables, because she enjoys herbal tea and cooking.
Her health is pretty good, because she always drinks her special drink which is made from some vagetables, fruits and herbal medicines. She have drunk it for 12 years.
She has a 3 children, 9 grand children and 2 grand-grand children. We uesd to gather twice a year in summer and new year. After her grand children got occupations, we usually gather in new year to have lunch and dinner.
She also likes traveling aroud the world. She is interested in foreign cultures and countries. She had never been abroad until the year before last when we went to Hong-Kong andChina together.
Last week, she came here with my parents to see me. We went to Montreal for 3 days, we watched hockey game and walked aroud the city. She took a lot of pictures but she is not good at taking pictuers. She always shakes her camera when she takes a picture. Her camera is pretty good quality, though. Now she practises how to take a good picture for her next tirp.
I love her, because she has full of energy to do everything, so everyone likes her. When I was a child, she used to tell me that to be kind and honest to another person, especially people who helps you like friends, and everyone would help you and like you naturally.
I have to study English very hard to be her personal interpreter. I want to go abroad with her wherever she wants.
