Although/ Though Tom is alone, he is very happy at first.

Home Alone
Home Alone is a very funny 1990 American film. It tells a story about a boy who is accidentally left alone at home.
One night before Christmas, the McAlister family meet at their home. They are planning to fly to Paris for the holiday and are busy getting ready. Eight-year-old Kevin is the youngest child and is fighting with his brothers and sisters and his cousins. When he goes to bed, he is so angry that he wishes all his family would go away. In the morning, everyone wakes up very late. They are all in a hurry to get to the airport, so they forget Kevin and he is left alone at home by accident.
be busy doing sth. “忙着做某事”,与 be busy with sth. 同义。
Although Kevin is alone, he is very happy at first. His terrible family has gone—his wishes has come true. He watches TV, eats lots of fast food and plays games. He has a good time. But later on, he goes out and hears two bad men called Harry and Marv planning to steal from his house. He goes home and plans some very funny ways to catch Harry and Marv.Many things in the house get broken as Kevin tries to stop them. Finally, the police come and the men are taken away.

Around the world
In the UK, there are no laws about when it is safe to leave a child alone, although parents must not put a child in danger. They should remember some basic rules:
● Leave a contact telephone number.
● Talk to the child about keeping safe at home and point out possible dangers.
● Tell the child not to answer the door to strangers.
● Give clear instructions about how to call the police, fire service or hospital.
● Put obvious dangers out of reach of the child, for example, medicines and matches.
● Tell the child when you will come back and make sure they are back on time.
