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 ____ at all. I thought she was the ____ mother in the world!

For example, one day, I decided to ____ some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were everywhere. And I didn’t make the bed. I asked my ____ to help me clean it. ____ she still said, “ Do it yourself, girl.”

Because of my “lazy mother”, I have to ____my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents ___. I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned ____.

As time goes by, I understand my mother. She makes me clever and diligent（勤奋的）. ___ a great mother!

A ____ mother is worth（等值于）one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?
