When I had something difficult to do, I used to(过去常常) ask my mum for help. But she always said, “Do it _, dear.” I would get so angry(生气). I thought she was mother in the world!
For example, one day, I decided some friends to my home. My bedroom was very dirty. Books were all over the table and ground. I didn’t make my bed. I asked my to help me clean it. But she said seriously(严肃地),“Do it yourself, girl.”
Because of my “lazy mum”, I have to my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents . I even have to go to the dentist(牙医) . It is really hard to do everything on my own, I have learned a lot.
As time goes by, I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me clever and diligent(勤奋的). Just as my mum always says,“A lady can’t be lazy, or(否则) she’ll be crazy. can make you sunny(阳光)!”
