A Helper at Home
I have always been a good helper at home.I always share housework at home.I clean my bedroom on my own and I
make the bed every day after I get up.The second thing is looking after the pet dog.Whenever I have time，I take him for a
walk outside and wash him from time to time.
By doing housework，I learn to be more inde－pendent in my life.Moreover，I understand that it's not an easy task
for my parents to do all the chores.I may feel tired sometimes，but I'm happy that I can do something for my parents.
