My father woke up(叫醒)my brother and me early one summer morning when l was fourteen and said ''Get up! you're going with me to cut the grass in the garden”
From Sunup to sundown，my father，my brother and l worked in the garden．By the end of the day, my brother and l were too tired to say a word but we were excited．This was our first time to help our father work．I got$6 for my work that day；and my brother got$2 more．
Then l worked with my father and brother almost every Saturday．One day my father found some grass I had missed and said．“Cut the grass! Don't make me have to tell you to do it again．”I knew he was telling me the importance of doing a job well the first time．Itreally helped me a lot．
两年后，我父亲告诉我，我年龄足够大了，可以自己割草了。Every Saturday during my last two years of high school，1 woke up early in the morning to work in the garden．Looking after the garden was neither exciting nor（既不……也不……） high—paying，but I didn't care(在乎)．My father once said，“If you're only thinking about money, maybe you won't think about how to do the job better．”
I do many jobs for my family．In every job， from cutting the grass to washing the clothes．I've learned much．I've learned something that helps me in my next job．
