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 9 a great mother! A 10 mother is worth one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?
