GV My Family
In my family it's mainly Dad 1______________ enforces the rules - he always wants to know
where I'm going, who with, and what time I’ll be home. If I 2______________ late, he wants
to know if there's been any trouble. He’s less worried if I'm going to be with boys than when
we've been on 3______________ own. During the week I have to be at home by 10.30, which
I think is reasonable. At weekends they don't mind too much, as long as I give them a rough
idea of what 4______________ I’ll be back. Some of my friends have to put up with much
stricter 5______________ . My best friend Julie’s parents stop her 6______________ out if
she’s been late back even when she’s got tickets for something. And a lot of my friends aren’t
allowed out on Sunday night at all, which is quite a restriction since none of us can really go
out a lot in the week, because of homework, especially now I we’ve got exams.
My Dad’s a teacher. I 7______________ school and can't wait to get out of it, but this isn’t a
source of trouble 8______________ us. Like most young women living at home, I can’t really
talk about my ideas, or what I really feel, to my parents. It’s 9______________ to have
privacy at home. No one ever knocks before they come into my room, and often I
10______________ to share it with my brother’s girlfriend — it’s just expected of me.
