When I was a small boy, I used to ask my mum for help when I met 1 .
But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear."I would get so angry. I thought she was the 2 mother in the world!
One noon, a friend of mine phoned me, "Tom and I will 3 you this afternoon." I was worried a lot. My bedroom was a mess. So I asked my mother to help me clean it. But she said 4 , "Don't you remember I have told you many times to do your things all by yourself?" I had no choice (选择) but to clean my bedroom by myself 5 my friends would come soon. I tried my best to make my bedroom 6 . It was really hard to do everything all by myself, but I learned a lot. As time went by, I began to 7 my mother. Now I have realized that I shouldn't always 8 her. It is her "laziness" that has made me diligent(勤奋的).Just as my mum 9 says, "Work can make you clever and sunny!"
Thanks to my mother, I have learned to do many things all by myself. I will 10 the four words "Do it yourself, dear." forever. What a great mother I have!
