Hi! I’m Lily. My family and I live in a big house. I’m 11 and I have a younger brother, Tom. He is 8 years old. My mom is a nurse, and she works in a hospital. She works a lot, and usually at night. (A)她没有足够的时间做家务, so my dad often helps her and he likes it. My dad works in a bank. He arrives home at about 4 p.m., so he can do a lot of things at home.

Every evening Dad cooks dinner. My brother and I help him. After dinner Dad does the dishes and I help him dry them. Then we take a shower and Dad reads (B) us short stories. In the morning, Mom makes breakfast. Tom and I make our beds. Then Dad takes us to school by car.

On Saturday, we clean the house. I clean the furniture (家具) and Dad sweeps the floor. Tom takes the rubbish out and waters the plants. Dad likes cleaning the windows but he hates ironing (熨). He never does it. My grandma comes to us twice a week and she irons our clothes.

On Sunday, we wash the car together and Dad often takes us to play in the park and eat in our favorite restaurant.

I’m Tina. I have three friends. They all have some rules to follow.

Lily is a girl from London. She likes music very much, but she doesn’t like studying. Her parents want her to do well in her study, but she can’t always finish her school work. Now her parents ask her to study every night, and she can’t listen to music when she studies.

Betty is from China. She is 15 years old. She is a little lazy, because she never helps her mother do housework（家务）at home. At school she has lots of friends. And she must go home before 8:30 p.m.

Dale is a 16-year-old boy from Canada. He likes reading. At school, he can be good with his classmates. He never fights with others. He is always happy to help other. The only rule his mother makes for him is to be nice to others.
