My “perfect holiday”
As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. “Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!” “Practise the piano!” “Turn off the TV!” I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leaved me alone.
Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until midnight.

The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.
When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father’s cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon.
Mum cooked such delicious food and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.
When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story, and we all laughed.

课堂小结
1. We have learnt and understood the text.
2. We learnt to write an article about what you can do and what you cannot do
when your parents are away.
3. We have learned the key words and expressions of this unit.
There are many things to do around the house when my parents are away. I can do some of them. For example, I can get up on time. That’s very important, because I don’t want to be late for shol! I can also make my bed, although I don’t often do it. I have a lot of homework to do every day and I go to bed late. I am so tired thatI cannot get up early enough to make my bed. I can go shopping for food, but I prefer to eat at the noodle shop, as I am not a very good cook. But I do cook at home sometimes because it is cheaper. I can wash the dishes, although it is the task I dislike most. I also dislike throwing out the rubbish, but it is better than washing up because it doesn’t take long. I can also wash my clothes, but I can’t iron them. Although my clothes are clean, they look a bit messy. It’s all a lot of work, but I am happy that I can look after myself and that my parents do not need to worry about me very much.
