1. Writing an Expressive Essay About Family - Mother, Model No. 1:

Family affection is a sacred and noble sentiment, arising from individuals sharing the same bloodline and familial bonds, which is truly profound. Family members are the most important people to me.

My mother endured the pain of childbirth, suffered for nine months and ten days to bring me into this world, to lead me to the colorful life I have today. At 40 years old, my mother is a high school teacher. Despite her age, she remains youthful like the other women, but my mother is different. She likes to make herself look a few years older. Nevertheless, the age-defying beauty on my mother's face cannot be hidden. She has a contagious smile that makes her look like a twenty-year-old girl every time she laughs. I used to wish I could have a smile like my mother's, but unfortunately, I only have chubby cheeks. As a high school teacher, my mother is very busy. She teaches at school during the day, tutors, then comes home to be a meticulous homemaker, taking care of every meal, piece of clothing, and household chore for her husband and children. Sometimes I feel like my mother is a superhero, doing so much without ever complaining. With a mountain of tasks on her plate, my mother never gets annoyed or shouts. She is very understanding and caring towards everyone in the family. She is always gentle and calm, handling every situation with composure. Even my father sometimes needs to confide in her, but my mother never does; she never lets others worry about her. She always watches over and cares for everyone, down to every detail.

My mother is amazing, and if there were one wish to come true, I would wish for my mother to always be my mother, healthy, happy, and loving me.

2. Writing an expressive essay about family - Feeling about father, Model No. 2:

In my life, there is a teacher who taught me everything in this world that he knows, taught me from the days when I knew nothing and taught me how to be a good person. Perhaps there is no better teacher than him, because that teacher is my father.

I refer to my dad as a teacher because he is a math teacher who has been standing on the podium for nearly a decade. In his profession, he is a passionate and dedicated educator. Dad has a cheerful disposition, and it seems that his cheerful nature is ingrained in his blood. Whether at home, at school, or in any situation, Dad always appears jovial, optimistic, and enjoys life. He is also a fairly handsome teacher, but with his personality, he always acknowledges himself as the most handsome teacher in the school. Sometimes, Dad even admits to being a bit overconfident. Dad's system of reward and punishment is clear and fair. Anything deserving of reward is praised and commended to the fullest extent, but anything worthy of punishment is penalized appropriately, without overlooking or treating it lightly. Dad does this because he believes that once stepping out into life, everything, be it joy or sorrow, success or failure, must be experienced fully. There cannot be an oversimplification, nor can there be only success without failure, or stumbles. Dad is very affectionate. Although he never expresses his feelings for Mom verbally, I can feel it through small gestures like putting her raincoat in the car trunk. My dad is dearly loved by everyone around him. People always talk about my dad as a cheerful teacher. If any family has a child studying in my dad's class, it is assumed that they are very reassured. Indeed, having a father like him, I am truly happy and proud to be his child.

If life is a series of my school days and the teacher is my dad, then I don't want to graduate. I hope to continue going to school forever, to be a child, a student of my dad, so that Dad can love and protect me for life.

3. Short essay expressing feelings about loved ones, feelings about mom, Model No. 3

In our lives, there are always important things, important tasks, and important people. For me, the most important person in this life is my great mother.

My mother is not a famous person or someone with great influence. Simply put, my mother is great in my eyes because of the things she does for me that no one else in this world can do. At forty years old, my mother's hair is interspersed with white strands, and the wrinkles on her face make me resent time. Time has made my mother grow older, worry more, and think more. My mother is strict; if people say 'A mischievous child is because of the mother' because the mother spoils the children, which leads to their corruption, it's different for my family. My mother is always strict in educating my siblings and me, setting rules, discipline, and requiring us to live according to the regulations she has set. However, my mother is still a gentle mother like any other mother. Whenever I'm sad, my mother doesn't hesitate to embrace me tightly, caress my head, and share her sorrows with me. To me, my mother is not only a mother, but she also plays many roles in my life. Sometimes she plays the role of a father, sometimes an older sister, a friend; my mother does everything just to understand, help, and take care of her children. My mother seems strong and firm on the outside, but deep inside, she is as tender as any other woman. My mother likes to read books about life, and I have seen her moved to tears a few times. My mother is sensitive but also very good at controlling her emotions. No one in the house is good at hiding emotions like my mother, and I always try to read her emotions.

Until one day when I am grown up, I promise to try to make my mother happy, to make her feel proud, satisfied, and happy, not to let my mother worry about me.

4. Thoughts about loved ones - grandmother, Model No. 4:

In one's childhood, there are many beautiful and touching things that enrich the innocence of the soul. And the beloved ones in the family are the ones who create the most loving sky for our childhood world. One of the beloved people whom I always love and appreciate is my grandmother.

My grandmother is now over seventy years old. My mother often worries about her health, but she still laughs when my mother advises her to take care of her health. My grandmother often goes to the temple and does many charitable activities, as she asserts: 'Doing good deeds like this, I feel healthier than just idling at home.' I think that's probably true. My grandmother's figure is still agile. Her hair is dotted with gray strands, and her face has many wrinkles, but her bright eyes and decisive voice make me feel that my grandmother is still very healthy. I feel happy about that. Every time I visit her, I sit with her by the door of the house, begging her to tell me stories from the old days, as well as stories about going to the temple, vegetarianism, and Buddhist chanting. Some of the stories she tells are hard for me to understand, but I really enjoy listening to her melodious voice as she speaks, which is very captivating.

Throughout my primary school years and into secondary school, my parents often took me back to the countryside to visit my grandmother. My grandmother was very happy whenever my whole family came to visit. Because my grandmother lives alone in a small house in Binh Duong province. My mother and uncles all work in Ho Chi Minh City, so every few weeks, they take turns coming to visit and take care of her. I often ask, 'Grandma, are you sad being alone like this? Are you scared?' When she hears the question, my grandmother smiles kindly and says, 'It's sad, my dear! But gradually I get used to it. Being in the countryside is warm and cozy, not terribly lonely.' I think my grandmother is right because I see that she has many friends of the same age living nearby. Uncles and aunts often come to visit when my family goes to the countryside to visit my grandmother. But I still feel sorry for her. I want to visit her more often, and I hope my uncles can arrange more time to visit her. Especially when my Vietnamese Literature teacher reads us the folk verse: 'Old mother lives in a thatched hut, Early morning and late evening, her child's heart is worried about her.
