Parents Got Fed Up Lok Tin

There was a boy name Tom he was very smart.

He was 10 years old and he was in grade 5. He really

hates school because of homework and there was no

time to play computer games at home. He always

wore a picture of his favorite of a dolphin. His dad

was a business man and always go out to do work

and may not work on public holidays. His mom was a

housewife and she look after him.

Tom always thought their parents spying at him

while he is playing his computer games. Their parents

wanted him to read more books and can learn new

words and grammars instead of just playing games.

He thought they were mean at him of not doing his

homework. Tom didn’t like doing homework and he

always plays computer games. Tom thought playing

computer games was more important that studying.

He thought their parents are weird and doesn’t make

sense.

They argue almost every day about reading

books. He said one excuse and it made their parents

mad.

“Homework is just really hard and computer

games are easy.” Tom said. “We can also learn new

things on the computer.”

“It is important to play computer games than

studying or doing homework.” Tom said.

One day, Tom had to go to school for the first

day of school. He met his teacher but she was quite

straight. When it was time to go home, they still have

to stay in to get their homework and had to hand in

their homework by tomorrow.

Finally everyone was happy to leave the

classroom. They ran out of the school and everyone

from Tom’s class didn’t want to come back to see the

teacher.

Tom came back home and he started to play. He

even called his friends to play online computer games.

He didn’t care about his homework. He already

started playing for two hours and he still hadn’t stop

yet, not even going to toilet. His mom walked by his

room and saw Tom playing.

“Why aren’t you doing homework first then go to

play?” Mom asked.

“Why should I do my homework first?” Tom said.

“Homework is hard for me, right?”

When it was dinner time, Tom came out to have

dinner with their parents. Tom ate a lot because he

didn’t ate lunch and breakfast. This was his first meal

for today.

Tom finished his dinner quickly and started to

continue to play until he was very sleepy. He was too

sleepy and he just slept on his desk. He also forgot to

brush teeth.

The next early morning, Tom got his school bag

and walked to school. He was very sleepy and he

didn’t wake up until his dad called him to wake up.

He finally arrived in front of the school and he

remembered that the mean teacher was here today.

Tom walked to the school and entered his

classroom. He saw a few of his friends in the

classroom waiting to get started the lesson. They all

hate that teacher when they saw the teacher came

into the room. They waited until everyone was here

to start. Everyone was in the classroom and got

started. They are even afraid to talk to the teacher.

“Time to hand in your homework everyone.” The

teacher shouted. “Put your homework on my desk.”

The students walked to the teacher’s desk with

their homework.

Tom didn’t know what to do because he didn’t do

his homework. He was scare that the teacher might

kill him. The teacher counted everyone’s homework.

The teacher knows there was one student didn’t do

his homework and it was Tom. She looked at him and

Tom felt very scared and he didn’t know what to do.

“This time I will let you do your homework for

one more night, but you have to hand in your

homework tomorrow.” said the teacher.

That day, they did a lot of work and they didn’t

stop for the whole day. They did until it was time to

go home. But it was still not finished yet, they still

had homework for that day too.

Tom walked back home on the street, he was

hurry to get back home. He didn’t like doing his

homework, he really even wanted to play in

classroom.

Tom went back home and started to play. He

tosses his bag in his room on the floor. He took his

phone and called his friends to play online games. He

didn’t care about his homework and he still hates

homework.

That day when Tom went back home he started

to play for the whole day until when it was time to

sleep. But he still has not done his homework yet.

Next morning, Tom was almost late for school.

He quickly got changed, he ran back to the school

and he forgot about the scary teacher.

When Tom arrived in front of the school, he

already forgotten that the scary teacher in the

classroom. He went into the classroom and sat down

started the lesson. When he sat down on his chair, he

just remembered that he forgot to do his homework

and hadn’t even started yet.

“It is time to hand in your homework everyone.”

The teacher shouted. “Place it on my desk.”

Everyone walked to the teacher’s desk slowly, but

Tom didn’t know what to do, so he sat in his chair

and waited. The teacher saw Tom didn’t do his

homework again, so she had decided to have a chat

with his family about not handing in his homework on

time. When they finished talking about Tom, they

went back home but Tom didn’t learnt anything in

that meeting.

His parent went back home. Tom’s dad went back

to work and his mom went out to buy some food to

cook for the dinner, but Tom went to play computer

games with his friends. His helper took after Tom and

he had been playing for two hours and he didn’t even

go to toilet for the whole day.

“You shouldn’t play too much, you should take a

rest.” The helper said to Tom. “You should go to the

toilet and not just sit here.”

The helper watched Tom played for a long time.

He didn’t even went to the toilet. After a while, Tom

had fainted on his desk. The helper called Tom’s

parents to see the doctor.

When Tom had woken up he felt a bit dizzy in the

bed. Tom saw his parents walked away and thought

that they might give up him.

Tom’s parents went to see the doctor why it had

happen like that. They talked for a while. While Tom

was waiting their parents to come, he had nothing to

do, but he saw some books in the drawer. He started

to read his first book and he felt that this book was

interesting. He finished the first book and he learned

something new in the story. Their parents came back

to see Tom how he was doing.

“Where have you been, I thought that you

already give up on me?” Tom asked their parents.

“We were just asking the doctor how you were

doing” Tom’s dad said “If you are feeling well you can

leave now.”

Tom told their parents what he read while he

was waiting them to come back. He actually thought

that reading books were really interesting and could

learn new things. He now understand why his parents

encourage him to read more books and not just sat

on the chair and just played computer games.

Tom and his mom went back home and he

started to do his homework. When he was finished

his homework, he went to play computer games.

They also didn’t argue so often. They were happy

forever.

“Reading is so much fun!” Tom said to himself.
