must come home early. When I stay at home. Thy say I must work
hard to succeed and when I do my homework they say it’s not well
done! I cannot satisfy them . I’m really fed up! They are really
pushy !! ( Emma)

Dear Miss Knight,
Im writing to you because I have a problem with my family. I have three
young brothers .My parents work, so I have to do everything for them:
take them to school,cook their meals, and help them with their homework.
When my parents come home they just talk about my brothers. They
aren’t interested in my education.When I ask them to help me with my
homework the say that I must rely on myself ! Can you help me ? (David)
