A mother and her daughter lived in a village. Every night, the mother would lock the door with three locks, because she was afraid that a thief might come in. As time went by, the daughter became tired of her boring life there, and dreamed to go to the city to see the outside world. One day, she left home without telling her mother. “Forget me, Mum.” She thought.

But the outside world wasn’t as good as she thought .Eight years later, she came back home with a tired body and mind.

When she got home, it was dark. She knocked at the door, but nobody answered. Surprisingly, she found the door was unlocked. She came in and saw her mother was lying in her bed, sleeping. Tears ran down her face. Hearing the cry of her daughter, the mother woke up. They hugged and cried. Later, the daughter asked, “Mum, why didn’t you lock the door?” “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to get in when you came back” Mum answered.

Dear Lily,

My hometown is very small. Only a few hundred people live here. It has a river with an old stone bridge across it. There is a church and a school. They are next to each other. People usually go to church on Sunday. There are three teachers and thirty students in the school. On Main Street there is a hotel, a supermarket, a gas station, a bakery, a butcher’s shop and a book store.

We don’t have a hospital or a police station, but we have a doctor and a police officer. They live on opposite side of the river.

We don’t have a movie theater, but we can rent videos at the supermarket. If we want to go to a movie, we have to go to the next town. It is a 30-minute bus drive away. The bus stop is outside my house. I usually go to the movies with my mum every Saturday.

Best wishes and please write soon.

Nowadays many students say they are too busy with their study and they don’t have time to help their parents with the housework. I don’t think they are true, that’s all excuses.

   In my opinion, doing some housework such as washing our own clothes and making the bed is our own responsibility. It can also make us independent. We can’t depend on others all our life. Sharing the housework is helpful for us to set up good relationship with our parents. I think trying to do some housework can keep us healthy and strong, some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise. And we can take care of ourselves better when we grow up.

On weekdays, I often help my parents clean my bed rooms every morning and wash dishes after supper. At weekends, washing clothes and mopping the floor is my duty. And I also help my parents carry something heavy from the supermarket.

   As the saying goes’ One can't make a big success without being self reliant’, so I think that students should often share the housework in our daily life.
