Ding-Dong!
     "Jason, honey? Can you answer the door?"
     "I am busy, mom!" Jason shouted back at his mother. He had spent three hours so far working to this
point in the game. He couldn't stop now.
     Ding-Dong! Mom's footsteps approached the front door.
     " Jason, it's  your friend Todd." Mom called from the doorway.
     Todd, his best friend, stepped into the room. " Jason! I need a partner for playing basketball." He
sounded excited.
     Jason snorted. "No way, Todd. I'm playing a game here."
     Jason gave his friend a dirty look, and his character in the game almost got killed while he looked
away, " I almost died because of you!"
     Todd looked at Jason's mother. Jason' mother looked back at him. They both looked at Jason. "Why
don't you play basketball with your friend?"Jason's mother suggested.
     "Tomorrow, maybe…There were more levels to beat tomorrow, though, Maybe he had played
tomorrow. He had have to see what mood he was in. He thought he heard footsteps walking away, but
he was too busy beating the next level to care.
     An hour later , Jason's  father came home. It was dinner time after his father washed up and sat down.
Jason didn't even hear his name being called to the table. He didn't hear his father walk at behind him and
ask him to turn the game off, either.
     When the screen suddenly went black and his father's angry face loomed in front of him, Jason finally
heard. "No more game for a month." Jason's father shouted at him."You don't play basketball, you don't
come to dinner, and you don’t do your chores. We‘ll make some everything else gets done before you
play any more."
     Jason nodded slowly. He knew better than to argue with his father, and when he thought about it, he
had been palying quite a bit. It was fun, but he was letting down his friends, his family, and himself  by
paying too much.
     He'd try harder in the future.

     One summer day last year, I visited a city in France in my car. It was late in the afternoon. I couldn't
find the way to the Garden Hotel. When I drove for a long time, I saw a beautiful young woman.
     She took a lot of  bags with her and came out of' a supermarket. I stopped and asked her," Excuse
me, madam. Can you tell me the way to the Garden Hotel?"
     "The Garden Hotel? Sure. But it may be difficult for you to find it now. I'll show you the way if' you
like."
     "Oh! Thank you very much, Please get into my car."
     Then I helped her put the bags in my car. An hour later, we came to a big house. The young woman
said, "Please stop here. "
     I stopped and looked at the house. "But this is not a hotel," I said to her.
     "No," she answered with a smile.  "this is my house. And now let me show you the way to the
Garden Hotel. Go along the street and turn right on the first turning. Then you can easily find the Garden
Hotel on your left. It's only a two-minute drive from here. And thank you for driving me home."
     Then she took up all the bags and walked to her home.
