I think she is a lazy mother. For example, one day, I invited some friends to my home. My bedroom was out of order. Books were all over the table and the floor. I forgot to make my bed. So I asked my mother to help me clean my bedroom. But she said seriously, “Do it yourself, girl.” So I did it. Because of my “lazy mother”, I have to wash my clothes and clean my room, I have to help my parents do some housework. I even have to go to the dentist by myself if I have a toothache. It’s really hard to do everything on my own, but I have learned a lot. When I grow up, I understand my mother. It’s her “laziness” that makes me more independent and hard-working.

During that time, he began to study literature and write stories. His first short story was published in 1981.

Liu's videos show us a common worker's everyday life. At the same time they show Liu's hope for life. “Your story reaches everyone who is working hard,” an online user said.

People D We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody's dreams the same？ Here are some of the finding of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part. What are the hopes of teenagers？ We received several different answers to the question: What would you like to do after finishing your education？ It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents. Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming. What are the dreams of teenagers？ Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic than others. For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers for Hope Project. And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day. According to the survey less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sportspeople or singers. some said they'd love to go on exciting trips；one student said she'd love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that are impossible； three students said they'd like to be able to fly！ . Conclusion It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. on the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on to your dreams；one day they may just come true. ( )51. Why do some students want to star work as soon as possible？ . A.
