<span class='text_page_counter'>(3)</span> There were eight of us in my family. We lived by in a very small house . It was always untidy because we left our toys lying down around. At first our parents picked our things up of for us. But eventually they decided not to put up with our untidiness any longer. They worked up out an original way to make us tidier. They placed one big box by on the front door for all the things that we dropped by on our way into the house from the garden. Each of us had our own personal box indoors, too. So, when anyone tidied the house, they could put by things into boxes instead of taking them upstairs. Our parents made us pay a fine if we didn’t pick up to our things. We hated this punishment more than being told it off. We didn’t get much pocket money and didn’t want to waste it up on fines. So, we sat down and worked out a schedule for tidying the house. We took off turns cleaning and made out sure the house was tidy when our parents came home. We have all grown it up and left home now but we agree that our parents definitely had the right idea.. 0….by……….. 00….…………. 1……………….. 2……………….. 3. …………….. 4……………….. 5.……………….. 6……………….. 7……………….. 8……………….. 9……………….. 10……………….. 11……………….. 12……………….. 13……………….. 14……………….. 15………………...
