Dear Mum and Dad,

    I will go to Kathy's home with her after school and I will have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and sleep there. Don't worry about me. You know that Kathy is one of my{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good) friends. If you want to talk with me, you can call 82552828 after 6:00 pm.

    Please forgive（原谅）me for not telling you first. I don't think you will allow me to do so. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I really think teenagers（十几岁的青少年） can be allowed to stay at {#blank#}4{#/blank#} friends' homes sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I'm not a little kid at all. I hope I can make decisions for myself.

    At home, there are too many rules for me to obey: Don't wear those short {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dress); don't stay out so late; don't have meals before washing {#blank#}6{#/blank#}; watch TV after {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (finish) your homework; clean your room every day; put everything in their place Parents should be strict with teenagers, but we {#blank#}8{#/blank#} need freedom(自由).

    I don't like doing my homework alone at home. I'd love {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (study) with Kathy. We always learn a lot from each other. So please allow me to stay at Kathy's home {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a week. If you agree, Kathy can stay at our home with me, too.

    Mum and Dad, I can take good care of myself. Don't worry.

Yours,

Wang Mei

The eco-house

    Simon Dale didn't want to live in a city's apartment building. So he made up his mind {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (build) his own home in the countryside. He moved to Wales with his family and built a wooden eco-house. With the help of his father-in-law, a builder, he moved into a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (comfort) new home after only four months.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}only cost $4,700 to build the house.

    The eco-house is made of natural {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (material). Simon Dale and his father-in-law {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dig) into the side of a hill and then used the mud and stone to make the walls. The floors {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (make) from wood from the nearby area. The design is open-plan. There is no central heating,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} there's a wood-burner and solar panels (太阳能电板) on the top {#blank#}8{#/blank#}can provide power for lighting, music and computing. Drinking water is from a nearby spring. The fridge stays cool, thanks {#blank#}9{#/blank#} air from under the ground. Simon Dale says, "We try to live in peace with the natural world." He has {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (certain) done his best to achieve that.
