Dear Ann,
I am writing to tell you something about my
family rules. I think that every family has its
own rules. Mine has a few, apart from our
traditional rules.
First, as I am now in the final school year, I
am not allowed to watch TV except when
there is a very interesting film or when I have
finished all my homework and exercises.
Moreover, my parents never let me stay up
too late at night.
Next, I am not permitted to go out with
friends if there is no special reason.
In addition, I have to help my mother with
the housework whenever I am free, for
example cleaning he floor, watering the
plants and washing the clothes.
Finally, I have to set a limit to my using of
the phone.
Do you think that I have too many rules to
abide and that I have no rights or freedom to
do what I like?
Please write to me soon top tell me something
about your family rules. It must be interesting
to hear about them.
Let me stop here and don’t forget to give my
regards to your parents.

Love,
Laura
