Questions
you love your parents?
you think you show regrily, “I told you to be home by 6 o’clock.” Mom also shouted, “where did you go?” I felt so sorry that I couldn’t help crying. They didn’t give me a chance to explain. I hate the way they treat me.

One day, I heard the famous superstars ‘’ have come to our city to give performances. I am the fan of them. I was eager to get their autographed pictures.
I was about to go to the concert when my mother shouted, “ Don’t you think this is a waste of time? Come back. You are not a child, you should spend more time on your studies.” Even though I wanted to attend the concert extremely, I had to stay at home. Today I still regretted about it.

I have a close friend named Wang Dong, who studies in another school. We keep in touch with each other by writing letters. This week I failed in the maths exam. I was sad. In order to comfort me, Wang Dong fixed a time to have a good talk with me on the Internet. Unfortunately, I just sit before the computer, my mother came with my maths paper in her hand. She shouted at me, “There will be no more computer games for you!”
