Dear Mum,

I don't think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up,but I would like to have a wonderful time,too. You never think about funny things for me to do like music and sports. Two days ago,when I was watching a football game on TV,you asked me to stop and to do my homework. After finishing my homework,I wasn't allowed (允许)to read my football magazines still. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough,but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games,and put them in my bag so that you wouldn't find them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie (说i荒)to you,but you told me Dad would talk to me later. Mum,I didn't quite like what you had done to me! I really love you,Mum,but I wish both of you could try not to push so hard on me. Love, Zhang Ning
