My name is Kate. There are many rules in my life. I think these rules are important for me. At home, I can’t play computer games for more than (超过) half an hour. I think it is good for my study because I can have much time to study. I must make the bed after I get up. And I must clean my room every day. So my bedroom is always clean and tidy. My mother says keeping the room tidy is good for my health.

I study at Fuxing Middle School. At our school, we also have some rules. We can’t be late for school. So we must arrive at school on time. We must get to school before half past seven in the morning. We need to wear the school uniform every day. In the class, we have to be quiet. We can’t listen to music. We can’t eat in the class. We must eat in the dining hall. After class, we can’t run in the hallways.

Do you have rules in your life? Tell me about it.

Today is Sunday, and there is a concert(音乐会) at Honghe Concert Hall at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Smith arrives there early, and he is reading the “Notice to the Audience(听众须知)”.

My name is Jenny Smith. I’m a middle school student. There are some rules at my school. We have to     41     school uniforms. We can’t     42     late for school. We must get to school     43     7:30 a.m. We can’t go     44     on school nights. And we have to     45     quiet in the library. Some students think these rules are     46    , and they don’t like them. But I don’t agree     47     them. I think these rules can help us a lot. For example (例如), our teachers ask us to clean the classroom every day. If we don’t, the classroom will be very     48    . If our parents ask us to be in bed early and we don’t     49     to them, we can’t get up early next morning. I think students need to     50     some rules and remember them. Do you think so?

I am a 12 years old girl. I feel unhappy (不快乐). I don’t want to stay at home because there are too many rules in my family. I have to get up at half past six in the morning, and then run for half an hour. I must have breakfast at home. After school, I can’t play with my friends or classmates because I need to finish my homework first. I can’t play computer games or watch TV on school nights. I have to go to bed before ten o’clock. I need to read some English books every school night before sleeping. On Friday nights, I have to practice playing the violin for one hour. I must clean my room and learn to play chess on Saturdays. Also, I have to go to learn the drawing on Sunday afternoons. I don’t like these rules because I think they are too strict. What can I do? I need your help.
