My Very Mom

Non-Abstract Traits: Her skin is a slightly top of chocolate, her eyes small and rounded; have a sweet pitch-black gaze, the hair has the striking stance of the panther, she weights 150 pounds, she standing 5 feet. Her hand are made of wax. She move gracefully among the air, among the people, she sparkles out confidence and meekness.

Abstract ones: She is fancy comprehensive and honest, she trust in herself like a Titan in his own power. She love with her blood, in every heartbeating, in every breath, with each one particle of her very inner self. Never egotistic, never mean. Always tender, a true torrent of living waters.

I admire my mom because beside the ravenous harm done for some people she's still standing, she is still walking and working hard, she is a mountain, she has the worthy-faith, the endless love. She has fell a million times and a million times she's got up. A million times she forget.

P.S. I admire my father as well as a matter of fact he moulded ethical and moral education as an artisan, a fancy potter.

Grammar Tips

as good or better than, as great or greater than
 
 
This structure, called dual comparison, is idiomatic, at least at Conversational levels and in their written representations, but Edited English avoids it because it is often criticized for its faulty parallelism. In His second novel is as good or better than his first, good needs as, notthan, for both parts of this dual comparison to be parallel: as good as or better than. Or you may change it to His second novel is as good as his first or better. Particularly in longer sentences, punctuation gets more complicated when you restore the as: He is as handsome and well-mannered as, or even handsomer and better-mannered than, his older brother.
