family rules
Model:

Every family has its own rules. Mine
has few. First, I have to prepare meals
because my mother is very busy with
her work. Next, I am permitted to
watch TV after I have finished my

homework. My mother also lets me
talk on the phone with friends
provided that I don’t use it too long. As
a girl, I am not permitted to come
home late except for some special
reasons. My parents don’t allow me to
use the family motorbike for fear that I
may have accident. Despite the rules,
we all feel comfortable and safe
because we know that our parents
want the best things for us.
