【推荐2】Hello, my name is Alex. There are many rules in my family. On weekdays, I have to get up at 6:00 in the morning, and then take a bus to school. I have to get home quickly after school. I must do my homework first. I can’t watch TV or go out on school nights. I have to go to bed before half past nine. On weekends, I can watch TV until (直到) 10 o’clock. But I have to clean my room and wash my clothes.

My parents are strict with me. But they love me very much, too. They often play sports together with me. They want me to be healthy and have a beautiful future (将来). I love my parents.

They think obeying the rules is very important. One day, Mary gets an idea. She wants to make a book of rules. She says, “I think the book can help Jane, our brothers, sisters and me to be good children. If he or she doesn’t obey the rules, he or she has to sit at the door for five minutes.”

The two girls begin writing the book of rules. There are some school rules like “Do your homework. Don’t be late for school.” There are also some interesting rules in it, such as, “No eating other people’s food” and “Don’t cry.”

Both girls like the book very much. Their brothers and sisters think it is very interesting and they often do as it says. Their classmates want to read it, too. Their teachers and parents want to publish(出版) it for them.
