Dear Kelly, I’m Mandy. I need your help. You were not at home when I called you, so I leave this 【小题1】. My mother is ill, so I have to be with 【小题2】 in the hospital. I need you to do these things for me. First, please take my little sister Betty to the Sunshine Music club to have the piano lesson. The music club is 【小题3】 from her school. And the piano lesson starts at 3:15.

When my sister is having the piano lesson, you can go to Sweet House to have some drinks. It’s 【小题4】 next to the music club. The piano lesson is one and a half hours. After the Class, please take Betty to our house. Don’t 【小题5】 to buy some bread on the way. That’s my sister’s breakfast. Thank you very much.

My name is Kate. My mother is a tidy 【小题1】. It’s important 【小题2】 her to make our home tidy. For this, she 【小题3】 rules for all the family. First, we have to make 【小题4】 bed every morning. My mother cleans the public area (公共区域) of our home. 【小题5】, we have to eat in the dining room. We can’t eat on the sofa 【小题6】 on our beds. She says they are not good habits. After 【小题7】, we have to do the dishes. And we also need to clean the kitchen. The last thing is that we have to put away (放好) our things.

Sometimes I think my mother’s rules are 【小题8】. But they’re 【小题9】 useful to us. It’s important to 【小题10】 these rules. I want to say thanks to my mother.
