2b Read the letters.Underline the rules for Molly.
Dear Dr. Know,
There are too many rules! At 6:00 a.m., my mom says, “Get up now and make your bed!”After breakfast, my mom always says,“Don’t leave the dirty dishes in the kitchen!” After that, I run to school because I can‘t be late. At school, we have more rules — don’t be noisy, don‘t eat in class,…
My dad says I can’t play basketball after school because I must do my homework. I can play only on weekends. After dinner, I can‘t relax either, I must read a book before I can watch TV. But I have to go to bed before 10:00.Rules, rules, rules! It’s terrible! What can I do, Dr. Know?

Dear Molly,
I know how you feel. People always tell us,“Don‘t do this!” or “You can’t do that!” But think about it,Molly. There are a lot of things you can do. You can play basketball on weekends. You can watch TV after you read a book. Parents and schools are sometimes strict, but remember, they make rules to help us. We have to follow them.
Good luck!
Dr. Know
