Dear Dave,

I’m not happy. There are too many rules in my house. It isn’t fair. I have to get up at five o’clock every morning. I can’t arrive late for school. I have to be there at eight o’clock. I have to come back home after school because I have to do my homework. In the evening I can’t watch TV because I have to help my mother make dinner and wash the dishes. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. On weekends, I have to stay at home on Saturday morning. I have to clean my room and wash my clothes by eleven o’clock. On Saturday afternoon, I have to go to the children’s palace to learn the piano. Do you have lots of rules? Are they fair?                                                                   

Your friend,

Alice

Today, I want to write something about my mother. When I had something difficult to do, I often asked my mother for   1   . But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not happy about this 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(整齐的). Books were    4 , and I didn’t make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it,  5  she still said, “Do it yourself, girl.”
Because of my “lazy mother”, I had to   6  my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do   7 .  I even had to go to the dentist by myself. It was really hard for me to do everything well, but I have    8  a lot. 
As time goes by, I understand my mother. She made me clever and diligent (勤奋的) .     9 a great mother!  A   10  mother is worth（等值于）one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?
