Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t    21   about me. You know that Alice is one of my    22  friends. If you want to talk with me, you can    23   68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will    24 me to do so if I tell you first.   25  I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid    26 . I hope I can make decisions for    27  .
At home, there are too many   28  for me to obey: Don’t stay out so    29  ; don’t have meals before    30   hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be    31   teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework    32   at home. I’d love to study    33   Alice. We can learn a lot from each other.    34   please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you    35  , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,
Lillian

My mother began to ask us to be on time when my twin brother and I were about five years old. She    31    told us not to be late for a lot of things. “   32   ” became our family rule.

Mother    33   as a teacher when my twin brother and I    34    the first grade. Every school day morning, she called us to    35    , and cooked us breakfast. School started at 8:00 am,    36   we arrived at the school before 7:30 am each school day morning.

When we were in high school, our    37    once told my mother that we had been late for three times in one month. That made my mother so    38   that she beat us. After that I was not late for     39    .

I kept the    40    of being on time for a(an)   41    time. When I became a teacher , we were asked to get to    41    at 8:00 am, but I always got there about 30 minutes     43    . That gave me enough     44    to do my job better.
