I Text
Unit 2 I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave
me alone.
My "perfect holiday"
As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did
everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they
loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!"
"Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders
that I wished they would leave me alone.
Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about
leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I
could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I
happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an
exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games
so much that I played until mid-night.
The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without
breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I
could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball
with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.
When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped
my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking
tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum
cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always
helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy.
Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.
When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and
tidy up now. I told them my home alone story and we all laughed.
