Dear Mum,

    I don’t think you understand my life．You think I should be studying all the time．I know  you want me to find a good job when I grow up，but I would like to have a wonderful time．too．You never think about fun thing for me to do like music and sports．Two days ago，when I was watching a football game on TV，you asked me to stop and to do my homework．After finishing my homework，still I read my football magazines．You said I must go to bed early．That was bad enough，but yesterday was the worst day．I bought some computer games，and put them in my bag so that you couldn’t see them．I told you I would do my homework first．I knew it was wrong to lie(撒谎) to you，but you told me that Dad would talk to me later．Mum，I don’t like what you did to me！I really love you，Mum，but I wish you could try not to be so strict with me．

                                                            Love，

                                                            Zhang Ning
