4、ead by herself at the age of four. Last year, she decided to try out for a volunteer after-school reading program.She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read.The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that theyre going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me.I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.Last month, our dog welcomed me when I came home from school. He wanted a walk, but I was t
5、oo tired. I threw down my bag and went to the living room. The minute I sat down in front of the TV, my mom came over.Could you please take the dog for a walk ? she asked . Could I watch one show first ? I asked .No! she replied angrily,You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house ! I cant work all day and do housework all evening . Well , I work all day at school , too ! Im just as tired as you are ! I shouted back.My mom did not say anything and walked away. For one week, she

Also , m elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal?What can I do ?Sad and ThirteenDear Sad and Thirteen,Its not easy being your age, and its
8、 normal to have these feelings. Why dont you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems , you should offer to help . Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication.Secondly, why dont you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that you dont mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show . I hope things will be better for you soon .The Storm Broug
