I’m not happy. There are too many rules in my house. It isn’t fair. I have to get up at five o’clock every morning. I can’t arrive late for school. I have to be there at eight o’clock. I have to come back home after school because I have to do my homework. In the evening I can’t watch TV because I have to help my mother make dinner and wash the dishes. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. On weekends, I have to stay at home on Saturday morning. I have to clean my room and wash my clothes by eleven o’clock. On Saturday afternoon, I have to go to the Children’s Palace to learn the piano. Do you have lots of rules? Are they fair?
Your friend,
Alice

It was half past five in the evening when Nancy came home from work. She walked into the living room and looked at her three children. The children were fourteen, eleven and eight years old. They were watching TV happily.
The room was dirty and untidy. There were dirty shoes and dirty clothes on the floor . Toys were here and there .
Nancy got angry, “What a mess !” she said to her children. “ I work all day and have to do housework all evening. I’m very tired. I need to have a good rest. I won’t do the housework anymore!”
Nancy did as she said. She didn’t do any housework. Every evening she sat on the sofa and watched TV. A week later, every dish in the kitchen was dirty. All the children’s clothes were dirty, too. Every rubbish bin (垃圾桶)was full .
Then one day Nancy got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children had cleaned it.
