I'm Tim. I've been a taxi driver for nearly ten years. Most London taxi drivers have their own taxis. So do I. It's a nice job most of the time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day. I live twenty miles outside London and I go to work at 5:30 in the afternoon.

I usually go home between 2 and 3 in the morning.

    Some very strange things often happen late at night. Once I was taking a woman home from a party. She had her puppy with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the puppy. She climbed in through the window. I waited and waited. After half an hour, I tied(系)the puppy to a tree and started to climb in through the window, too. And then the policeman came. They thought I was a thief. Luckily, the woman came downstairs. She had gone to sleep and forgotten about me and the puppy！

Last Monday we asked our students about how often they do the housework, in Shiyan High School. Here are the results.

Most students do the housework twice or three times a week. They often clean their rooms. Some students do the housework five times a week, They often clean the floor (地板). Some students help their parents on the farm. They think their parents are too busy, so they help them.

The results for "wash clothes" are interesting. Some students wash clothes once or twice a week. They often wash clothes on Saturdays or Sundays. Some students wash clothes three to four times a week. They only wash her own, clothes. But most students wash their clothes once a week. And they wash clothes on Sundays.

Liu Ying, a girl in Class 4, Grade 8 has lots of housework to do. She washes the dishes and cleans the floor every day. She often cooks, sometimes three times a day. She says," My mother isn't healthy. My father works in another city. So I have to do most of the housework at home."

    When I had something difficult to do, I used to(过去常常) ask my mum for help. But she always said, "Do it 1, dear." I would get so angry(生气的). I thought she was2mother in the world!

For example, one day, I decided3some friends to my home. My bedroom was very dirty. Books were all over the table and ground. I didn't make my bed. I asked my4to help me clean it. But she said seriously(严肃地), "Do it yourself, girl."

    Because of my "lazy mum", I have to5my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents6. I even have to go to the dentist(牙医)7. It is really hard to do everything on my own,8 I have learned a lot.

    As time goes by, I understand my mother. It's her "laziness" that makes me clever and diligent(勤奋的). Just as my mum always says, "A lady can't be lazy, or(否则) she'll be crazy.9 can make you sunny(快乐的)! "

    10great mother! Don't you think so? A good mother is worth a hundred teachers!
