On a very hot and sunny day, Claire took her daughter Bella to the park. On the way home, Bella was tired and slept in the car. When they got home, Claire found that something was wrong. “When I was putting her down, blood started to pour from her nose. It was all over her face and that made me scared,” Claire said. Having already learned first aid (急救), Claire knew what to do. “Bella was getting upset because of the blood. I sat her up, let her lean (倾斜) forward and pressed both sides of her nose,” Claire said. “My mom said Bella should lean her head back, but I knew that wasn’t right, because leaning forward would stop the blood from going into her stomach.”
Luckily, Bella’s nosebleed stopped after a few minutes. Claire was glad that she remembered what she had learned. In fact, every parent should learn first aid. Then he or she can save his or her child in a right way. That’s important to the child when something dangerous happens.

A. Letting Bella sit up. B. Letting Bella lean back.

Do you find it hard to motivate (激励) yourself to clean the house? Me too! Cleaning the house is really one of those jobs that never end. But I find some nice ways to get motivated to do the housework.
One of the good ways is to own less so that there will be less to keep clean and tidy. Every few months I throw away anything we don’t need or use. ①There’s truly less mess in the house.
Cleaning the whole house in one go can be really difficult. So I make a plan to do a little each day. When the weekend comes, I’ve done everything I need to do. ②我不需要花费周末的时间来做家务。
When I have a lot of housework to do, I’ll always start with the easiest task (任务). I ask myself which one is going to be the quickest to finish. And that’s the one I start with.
I love listening to music when I do chores I sometimes sing and dance when I clean. And the housework is done before I know it! I feel excited at the same time. It’s a win-win!
Finally, I’ll give you the best way to get motivated to do the housework. Invite a friend to your home! It’s amazing how quickly you can clean the house when you know someone’s coming over!
