Our First Day in Winter Holiday

The winter holiday began today. The Spring Festival will come soon. So my sister and I decided to help our mother to clean the room.

In the afternoon we began the cleaning. We first dusted the walls. The walls turned white soon, but the tables and floor were covered with dust. Then I cleaned the tables while my sister swept the floor. The room became bright and clean. We were very happy.

Then my sister did some washing. With my help, my sister first washed clothes, then some shoes.

Finally, we finished the work. "What time is it now?" she asked. "Oh, it's six o'clock! It is time for Mum to come home. We must prepare the supper. Be quick!" I said. Just then our mother came in. When she saw the room clean and bright she was very happy. "You are my good daughters!" she said with a smile on her face.

Now I was very tired, but I was very happy, because I had done something for my mother.
