Question

阅读与表达(问答式)。

When I was young, my mother always spent lots of time sitting behind a sewing machine (缝纫机) with a happy look on her face. For all the three kids in our family, she made all the clothes.

My morn made it look so easy. But the first time I tried to make something, I just couldn't do it. I worked too quickly, and when I finished, it looked bad. Soon, I just gave up.

This summer, I really wanted to make a dress to wear at a party. I picked out some nice cloth, and I found a nice style in a book. I got so excited about Sewing that I couldn't even sleep.

I started early the next morning. My mom was having a meeting, so if I had questions, there could be no one to ask.

I started sewing slowly and carefully, and I tried to do everything right. When I was sewing the top, I made the neck too small. But the rest was fine.

"I'm finally finished!" I shouted two hours later. And it fit! For the first time, I could wear something I had made with my own hands!

If you want to learn something, my advice is don't give up when you can't do it well.
