When I had something difficult to do， I used to ask my mother for help. But she always said， “Do it yourself，dear.” I was not 1 at all. I thought she was the 2 mother in the world!
For example，one day， I decided to 3 some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were everywhere. And I didn’t make the bed. I asked my 4 to help me clean it， 5 she still said，“Do it yourself，girl.”
Because of my “lazy mother”，I have to 6 my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents 7 I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything well，but I have learned 8 .
As time goes by， I understand my mother. She makes me clever and diligent (勤奋的) 9 a great mother! A 10 mother is worth（等值于） one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?
