Model :
Every family has its own rules. Mine has a few. First, each family member has to respect one another. Therefore, we never have a row or argument. When we feel dissatisfied about something, we try to keep calm, discuss and find a dolution. Secondly, everybody has to do their share of household chores. For example, my mother is responsible for cooking, whereas, I am in charge of washing the dishes. Thirdly, as I and my brother are still pupils, we are not allowed to stay up very late. At night. We have to go to bed by 10:30 p.m so that we will be able to get up early the next morning to go toschool. In addition, ou parents do not let us watch TV more than three hours a day.
