When I had something difficult to do, I used to ask my mother for help. But she always said, “Do it yourself,dear.” I was not     1    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. Books were everywhere. And I didn’t make the bed. I asked my      4   to help me clean it,   5      she still said,“Do it yourself,girl.”
Because of my “lazy mother”,I have to     6    my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents      7    I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything well,but I have learned     8   .
As time goes by, I understand my mother. She makes 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?

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you looked up each word in the dictionary, once at a time, what is your translation (翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
Languages do not just have different sounds; they are different in many ways. Its important to master(掌握)the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand his sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, but the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the different between the two parts of sentences.
“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”
“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
