Dear Emily,

I hope everything goes well with you. I am write to you because I have a problem.
My mom is always telling me to do the house chores. It’s terrible. She telling me
to do the washing-up, iron my clothes, and to does my geography homework. I
hate when she does this. But now when I gets home, I tidy up my room, take out the
rubbish and help my mom. I am a good kid now. But now, she does this to my dad.
She says that my dad never helping her. My father are working all day at his
workplace, and my mom are always at home. What can I do to make everyone happy?

Yours,
Stacy
