- As the proverb says, "You have a father like a house with a roof." That statement shows the importance and position of a father in the family. For me, my dad's image is always in my mind.

My father is over 40 years old. Dad is a police soldier. It makes me very proud and proud. Dad often had to go on duty and on duty. Dad has a face full of letters, serious eyes. On hot days, Dad came home from work, his face was flushed red, sweat was all over his face and a whole piece of his shirt was wet. I understand that he had to stand guard in the hot sun, so he loved him even more.

Tanned skin, healthy. Even at work-free evenings, Dad sat down to think about the agency's documents. At that time, his father's face was thoughtful, his eyes bright, his bushy eyebrows narrowed. His hair was dotted with silver threads. I know that my father has to take care of work in an office which is hard and difficult, especially very dangerous but he always tries to get the best work done.

Every time he went to work, he often wore his military uniform and his police hat looked very stately. Late at night, a phone call comes in, because the mission is to get up and rush to the road regardless of the weather. My father is not only a brave soldier at the office but also a person who keeps the neighborhoods and also the breadwinner in the family. Although he is busy at work, he does not forget to take care of housework and love his children wholeheartedly.

Dad always checked, mentored the education of sisters. Dad is also very strict in teaching children. However, sometimes Dad is very funny and humorous. Occasionally, Dad would tell jokes to the two sisters who made them laugh out loud. For neighbors, what is the father is always willing to help. Everyone respected and loved their father.

I love my father very much and I am very proud that he is a police soldier because of his homelessness and service. Dad is a strong fulcrum for my family, like the song: "I will make wings for the birds, for you to fly far away."

I am Thinh. My family has four members: my father, my mother, my sister and me. We live in the city and we’re all enjoying our busy lives.

My father is a doctor. He is responsible for examining, diagnosing and treating patients in the hospital. My father is a warm-hearted person. He’s never angry with us. His work often starts at 8 a.m. and finishes at 6 p.m. However, he sometimes has night shifts. Sometimes he spends the whole day in the hospital, taking care of patients.

My mother is a receptionist at a famous hotel. She works fewer hours than my father. She usually starts work at eight o’clock in the morning and comes back home at six in the evening. After work, she cooks, does the housework and helps me with my homework.

Although there are four members in my family, only three of us are living together. My sister, Chi, is an undergraduate student at Hanoi National University so she is studying in Hanoi. She comes home once a month and sometimes twice or more.

I’m 16 and I’m a student. I go to school six days a week and have five periods a day. I also have to deal with a lot of tests every week and it takes me plenty of time to prepare for them. My sister seems to have more free time than me. That’s why I want to become an undergraduate student like her.

My family has little time to gather and talk to one another, so we find long vacations such as a summer vacation or Tet holiday valuable. We spend the whole day at home, decorating our house, cooking meals and watching our favorite TV programs.

How many hours a day does Thinh’s mother spend at work?

A. 7 hours

B. 8 hours

C. 9 hours

D. 10 hours
