ACTIVITY FIVE: Not Yet! FOR NEXT WEEK

Dear Dr. Smith,

Apart from the 6 questions,
Look at the phrases in purple
and write another form to say
the same.
Can you help me? My life is awful! I have too many rules! I
have to get up at 6:00 o´clock every morning. My mom has
to work at 5:00 a.m., so I have to cook breakfast! After
breakfast, I run to school because I can´t be late. At school,
I have even more rules – don´t be noisy, don´t eat in class!
After school, dad says I can´t hang out with my friends. I
can only hang out with them on weekends. I can´t even relax
after dinner. Why? Because that´s another rule – Do your
homework after dinner. Then you can watch TV. I even have
rules for sleeping! I have to go to bed before 10:00 o´clock.
Rules, rules, rules! They´re making me crazy!
What can I do Dr. Smith?
Molly Brown, 13, Detroit MI

Examples:

 Can you help me? = I need help.

 Don´t be noisy. = Don´t make noise.
