When I had something difficult to do, I used to ask my mother for help. But she always said, “Do it yourself, dear.” I was not     26     at all. I thought she was the     27     mother in the world!

For example, one day, I decided to     28     some friends to my home. My bedroom was messy. Books were everywhere, and I didn’t make the bed. I asked my     29     to help me clean it,     30     she still said, “Do it yourself, girl.”

Because of my “lazy mother”, I have to     31     my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents with the     32    . I even have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really hard for me to do everything well, but I have learned a     33    .

As time goes by, I understand my mother. She makes me clever and hardworking.     34     a great mother she is!

A     35     mother is worth (等值于)one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?

American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.

You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters.

“Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to break others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others.

Let’s learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”.

This is true of Tamdrin , a 20-year-old Tibetan man who recently drew a lot of attention after a cameraman posted a short video of him on Douyin. Tamdrin lives in Litang County in Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichun Province.

People say they like his sun-kissed skin, mop(蓬乱) of brown hair and comforting smile. They say Tamdrin has “stars in his eyes” and is different from young male idols (偶像) who have perfectly clean faces and fine makeup(妆容).

Within five days, Tamdrin got over 2.5 million followers on Douyin. After he became famous, some companies invited him to become a professional online celebrity—famous person. Instead of doing this, Tamdrin got a job with Litang County’s culture, tourism and sports investment(投资) development company.

“Tamdrin has been working for our company to help make tourism in, Litang County more popular,” the company’s manager Gao Xiaoping told Red Star News. “He’ll get a monthly pay of 3,500 yuan. We’ll help him to decide which company he can work with so he won’t be cheated.”

“I’m glad to see that Tibetans are increasingly becoming internet celebrities,” Sangyeshung, a Tibetan doctor told China Daily. “They can introduce Tibetan culture, food and places of interests to the world.” he said.
