Staying at Home Alone
Thuesday Nov.16,2003 Fine
I took my school report and came back home cautiously only to find mother wasn't at home.She went to my aunt's and wou!d come back in the evcning.I knew that fi'om a note on the table.I was still a little bit frightened as if mother would come back suddenly.
Seeing the low marks on the school report and remcmbering mother's cold face,I almost trembled with fear.lf mother know I got so low marks oa the subjects,especially English,she would tear all my cartoon books which are my fovourite.I have been treating them as my own life for a long time.But mother always thought cartoon diverted my attention from study and had a bad effect on me.Frankly speaking,I had realized it.Mother hated those books.She had warned me if I got low marks once more she would get rid of them.I Still wanted to keep those books even if I would mever touch them from then on.What should I do?I knew that any persuation was in vain.I would prevent mother from doing that.
A good idea stroke me.I gathered all the books and put them in a box.Then,I hid the box under my bed.Having done it carefully,I had a breathing spell.
Opening the English book,I sat at the desk and began to read.It was really the time that I learned English carefully,I thought.
