我战胜了惰性 I Get Over Laziness

 My mother always says that I am a lazy¹ girl, when she needs my help with her housework, I will say no to her, which annoys² her. Since³ I was⁴ very small, my mother did⁵ all the things for me, so I become lazy. One day, my mother became⁶ very strange⁷, she was so quiet, she did not ask me about my homework, so I just played the computer and then slept. The next morning, when I went to school, my teacher asked us to hand in the homework, I did not finish, I was so awkward⁸. Then I realized⁹ that I should finish my homework even¹⁰ without my mother’s reminder¹¹. My mother is a wise¹² woman, now I get over my laziness¹³.

我的妈妈总是说我是一个懒惰的女孩，当她需要我帮忙做家务的时候，我会说不，这让她烦恼。打从我小时候起，妈妈就为我做完了一切事情，因此我才会变得懒惰。有一天，妈妈变得很奇怪，她很安静，没有问我关于作业的事情，因此我就玩电脑，然后睡觉。第二天，我去学校了，老师叫我们上交作业，我没有完成，很尴尬。然后我才意识到我应该在没有妈妈提醒的情况下也要完成作业。妈妈是个明智的女人，如今我克服了惰性。
