Question

The winter vacation is coming. I don’t want to spend more time playing. I decide to work to make money for the next term. But I don’t know what work I can do.

Now, my mother is writing a book. She is busy and tired. I want to type for her for pay. When I tell her, she is very happy. She agrees to pay me 5 yuan for 1,000 words. But she asks me to do it carefully.
