Question

【题目】What will you do when you have something difficult to do? I used to ask mother for help. But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not glad at all. I thought she was the laziest mother in the world.

For example, one day, I decided to invite some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were everywhere. And I didn’t make the bed. I asked my mother to help me to clean it, but she still said, “Do it yourself, dear.”
