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! 
