  My boss's daughter was studying in the Philippines.He asked me if my husband and I could take care of her.He thought his daughter would be able to improve her English communication skills in this way.

  After days of thinking, we agreed.He then brought her here and left after 3 days.I thought that my boss's daughter was well-mannered, but that was wrong.

  After a month of staying in the Philippines, she started to show her true colors.When my husband asked her what she wanted for breakfast, she answered him in a rude way.From then on, we experienced fights at home.There was a time when we didn't talk to her for a week as a punishment of not being good to us.What I hated most was that she didn't care about other people's feelings.She ate ahead of us when we were still working and didn't leave anything for us.So we had to separate her food from ours to avoid such a problem.

  The worst thing about her was that she shouted at us.I was wondering if she did this to her parents.We told this to her parents , but unfortunately I didn't think that solved the problem.This situation lasted for almost 8 months.Our patience was tested during that time.

  We tried to teach her everything we could to make her a better person, but I guess 8 months may not to be enough.We even tried to understand her and adjust for her, but it didn't work…I just hope that she learned something from us and from other Filipinos.

  Some people do not like anything to be out of place, they are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthday and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Dodds is such a person.

  Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives alone. The only family he has were in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark.

Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time and drove neither too slowly nor too fast; he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. At once, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door to find a policeman standing at the door.

  

  “What have I done wrong?”Mr Dodds asked himself.“Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”
