I will miss my parents, but I think I can look after myself very well.
There are many things to do at home when my parents are away. For example, I can get up on time. That's important, because I do not want to be late for school! I can also make my bed, although I often don't do it. I have a lot of homework every day, so I go to bed late. I am so tired that I cannot get up early enough to make my bed. I can go shopping for food, but I prefer to buy some fast food because it’s convenient. But I cook at home sometimes because it is cheaper.
Sample
I can wash the dishes, although I don’t like it. I also dislike throwing out the rubbish, but it is better than washing up because it doesn’t take long to do. I can also wash my clothes. but I can't iron them. Being home alone is sometimes lonely, but I’m usually proud of myself because I can look after myself and my parents do not need to worry about me very much.
