暑假里，妈妈单位的事较多，有时加班都得到八九点才能回家。我看妈妈很辛苦，很想为她做些事。
During summer vacation, my mother has a lot of work to do at her workplace, and sometimes she has to work overtime until around 8 or 9 o'clock to go home. I see that my mother is working very hard and I really want to do something for her.
有一天，妈妈上班后，我看到地上很脏，我准备拖地，心想：一定给妈妈一个惊喜。
One day, after my mother went to work, I saw that the ground was very dirty. I was about to mop the floor and thought to myself: I must give my mother a surprise.
开始拖地了，我决心先拖书房。我先用湿布在地上来回擦，然后用干净的抹布将地板上擦得干干净净，干了二十分钟总算干完了。我气喘吁吁，心想：我拖一个房间就这么累，平时妈妈拖那么多房间，多辛苦啊！大约一个小时以后，客厅、阳台、书房、卧室等各个地方都被我打扫得干干净净，我看到自己的劳动成果很开心。可是，在我最后擦桌子的时候，不小心把桌上的水洒了下来，我的劳动成果立刻被毁了，我心里很懊恼。正在我准备放弃时，想起严老师告诉我们的话：做事不能半途而废，要坚持下去。我重拾信心，一鼓作气，把客厅又拖了一遍。来源 wwW.ZUowEnbA.nET
I'm starting to mop the floor, so I'm determined to mop the study first. I first wiped the floor back and forth with a damp cloth, and then wiped the floor clean with a clean cloth. After twenty minutes of drying, I finally finished. I am panting heavily and thinking to myself: I am so tired of dragging a room, and my mother usually drags so many rooms. How hard it is! About an hour later, I cleaned the living room, balcony, study, bedroom and other places clean and tidy. I was very happy to see the fruits of my labor. But when I was finally wiping the table, I accidentally spilled the water on it, and my labor was immediately destroyed. I felt very regretful in my heart. Just as I was about to give up, I remembered what Teacher Yan had told us: we cannot give up halfway, we must persevere. I regained my confidence, worked hard, and dragged down the living room again.
虽然我没有打扫得很完美，但是妈妈看到我的劳动成果，开心地笑了。
Although I didn't clean it perfectly, my mother smiled happily when she saw the fruits of my labor.
通过这件事，我明白了做任何事情都要讲究方法，学习也是这个道理。
Through this incident, I have come to understand that one must pay attention to methods when doing anything, and the same principle applies to learning.
