I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing．I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself．But now I know I was wrong．
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess．And that's why I'm writing this letter to you．
I have a happy family．I love my children and they love me．I'm a mother of three children．I know well how to bring up(带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me．
But now I have a serious problem：the Internet problem．My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now, but he doesn't seem to be interested in it．He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day, He chats with pelple that he has never met before, but speaks little to us．He does lots of useless things on the Internet．And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework．
I just want him to be a good student．Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home．I'm afraid he will drop behind in his class soon．His father is a doctor, a very kind man．He never seems to be afraid of his father．
What can I do, And don't tell to talk to him．We've tried that and it didn't work．But this is really a big problem in our family．I have tried everything I can think of．I wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的)．You're my last hope．Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith

I used to be very close to my father when I was a child．He gave me almost everything I wanted．Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort．He was everything to me．
Time flies like a bird．As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father．The gap between us began to grow．He had done so much for me but I always take it for granted．
Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike．I was tired and fell asleep on his back．Later my mother said he was very happy because is had been a long tome since we got close last．Suddenly I felt a little shamed．I realized that I had ignored(忽略)him a lot during the last few years．
The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended that I couldn't hear him．At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream．” I got so angry with him for interrupting my sleep that I shouted, “Leave me alone．”
As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor．Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn't know what to say．Finally I rushed with tear all over my face．I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy．A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy's motorbike．He was looking for me anxiously, but he didn't notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush．
I didn't return home until 10 a．m．The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me．Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes．“Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last．Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me．
