Dear Nga,

We haven't contacted for a long time, I feel missing you so much. Last time you wanted to know more a bout my family. Today I let you know some of the main features

Every family has its own rules. Mine has a few. First, I have to prepare meals because my mother is busy with her work. Next, I am permitted to watch TV after I have finished my homework. My parents also let me talk on the phone with friends but I am not allowed to use it too long. Sometimes  my parents permit me to go out with my friends but they don’t allow me to come home late at nights .They never  let me use the family motorbike because I don’t have a driving license. Every day, after doing morning exercises, I water the plants and flowers, and then I clean the house, tidy the kitchen and scrub the toilet. I have one sister and one brother, so I help my parent to look after them.

Despite the rules, we all feel comfortable and safe because our parents always want the best things for us.  I hope you feel the same too. See you in the next letter.

Yours

Lan
