A

My name is Mary. I'm a middle school student. Last Saturday morning, my parents went out to visit my grandparents. I stayed at home alone. After lunch, I looked around and saw that the house was a bit messy. The clothes were on the chair, and the dishes were in the sink. I thought, "Why not do some housework?"

I love my parents, but I think they are too hard on me. What should I do? Yours, Lily
