Dear Kids Helper Magazine,
My name is Andy. I don’t think being the eldest child in the family is a wonderful thing. First of all, I have to share my toys (玩具) and games with my younger sister and brother, Grace and Mark. Of course, they don’t need to share theirs with me because I’m not interested in their things. What’s more, they are always following me here and there. It’s especially (尤其) a headache when my friend visits me. We look for a quiet place in the house where they can’t disturb us, but in minutes they will find us and ask to join in.I can’t seem to get any peace at home. At mealtime, I have to eat whatever is on my plate. But Grace and Mark only need to try one bite (一口) when it’s not their favorite food. Not only this, but I need to be an example to them.
It doesn’t seem fair that I have more chores to do around the house than Grace and Mark. Also, when it comes to homework. I have so much to do compared with them! Oh, the worst part of it is that I have to practice the piano after dinner, but they needn’t.
I’m feeling really upset about the situation. What can I do? I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours truly,
Andy White
