Mary and I go to school. My father takes us to school every day. My mother doesn't work because she can't 
speak any Chinese. She cleans all the rooms every day. She has lunch at home and then visits her friends in the 
afternoon. She wants to go back to England very much. Dad is very busy every day. My sisters and I come
