Re: My parents are too strict.

Current mood: I'm so sad!

My parents set a time for me to come home in the evenings. They expect me to be at home at 9 o'clock. I have asked them to give me a later curfew as i want to spend more time with my friends but they don't agree. Last Sunday night, i went to my friend's house to attend a birthday party. The party was so great that i forgot the curfews. My parents were very angry and kept calling me to go home. They said that if i didn't come back home right away, they would go to my friend's house and pick me up. So I had to say goodbye to my friends even though I didn't want to. My parents are too strict. It was a birthday party and they can give me more time to spend with my friends. I wish that my parents would allow me to stay out until 10 o'clock in the evenings. I want my parents to change curfew with me. How can i make my parents change their mind?

  Dear Mai,

I’m very pleased that we’re going to be pen pals. I’ll tell you a little about myself, and you can do the same when you write to me.

I live in an area of London called Maida Vale. It’s quite near the centre, but there are parks nearby where I often take my dog, Mickey, for a walk. I live with my parents and my younger brother, Paul. My father works for the post office and my mother has a part-time job as a nurse.

I go to the local comprehensive school, where I have a lot of friends. I like most subjects, but not all of them! In the evening I sometimes visit friends or stay at home and listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding.

At the moment I’m working very hard because I have exams soon, so I’m spending a lot of time in the library.

  I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Write soon!

  Best wishes,

  Mary

   HELPING MORTHER AT HOME

Every child should love his mother. A girl or boy learns’ many good things from mother. Mother teachers us to be obedient, helpful and friendly to others.

Ever since my young days I have always helped my mother in the kitchen. I get up early in the morning and help my mother prepare breakfast. Then I clean the kitchen and sweep the floor. I also help mother wash the post and pans.

On Sunday I follow my mother to the market and help her to carry vegetables and fish back home. Some times my mother asks me to cut vegetables. I readily do I wash vegetables. I like to give small help whenever I am free from school work.

One day when my mother was sick, I cooked dishes for lunch. My mother is always happy and tells me that I should be good to everyone.

Every mother will be happy if her children help her at home.

It is a useful lesson for children to love their parents ____
