KK was around three years old when he showed up at the front gate of my house in 2012. And clearly he was used to the life outside. While he was happy indoors, he did expect to be let out. He would like to go out and do his things most of the day.
When Julien, my second cat, showed up in 2013, having two cats wanting in and out at different times was more difficult. After careful thinking I finally decided to put in a cat door. It allowed KK and Julien to come and go as they wanted without waking me up at 5 am to go outside or at 5:10 am to come back inside. It also saved my door because KK was abusing it to let me know I was to a slow to open the door for him when he cried for going out.
My mother passed away in the spring of 2014, which left her young cat alone at home. I decided to take her in. Once being a free cat, Sissy certainly didn't want to suddenly be kept indoors. She also didn't want to suddenly be kept indoors. She also wanted to get away from the other two cats, as she used to be a single cat.
As KK, Julien and Sissy have all got used to their life of coming and going as they please, the cat door has also become open for their cat friends. By far, my house has got about four regular "guests".
My parents will be on business. I will be alone at home. They are (worry) about me. My parents said to me, "We'll go away meeting. It's so important . We can't miss it. we are away, you should remember (shut) the door and lock it when you go out. Don't let (somebody) in. Get up as soon as the clock? (ring). Remember this address and send text messages if necessary. We'll be back a couple of days."
In fact, I am happy to be alone at home. In my opinion, (be) home alone is enjoyable. I can enjoy (have) a quiet time alone and read a favourite book. I can also learn to take care of myself.
I used to live in my own room alone. But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to share my1. At first,my parents said "no" to him, but at last my mother agreed. I cried and asked my parents not to do this, 2 it didn't work. As soon as Mike entered my room, it began to become3. To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes and toys everywhere!
One evening, I was doing some4on my computer while Mike was listening to music5, l left my scat to get some water. A big surprise was waiting for me when I 6. He was using my computer to play games. I had forgotten to save the homework. Sadly, he had closed my programme7saving it —all I had done had disappeared! I8 him. He cried a lot as my mother came and criticised him. My mother also asked him to leave my room at once.
Then I did my homework 9. At 10 pm 1finished it. When I was going to turn off the10, l saw the photo of my11that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how 12 he was when my mum criticised him. I really felt13. I went to see what he was doing. I found he was 14in my parents' bed. I kissed his face. He woke up, got up and said, "I'm sorry. I won't bring you any more trouble. "
I was moved and said, "From now on, my room is not only mine. It is 15! "That night, Mike and I shared not only the room, but the bed.
It's a good idea to talk with your mum or dad about how you feel about being home alone. They might be able to give you some (建议) that will make you feel more comfortable. Maybe you can go home with a friend (一次) a week or a neighbour can start checking on you. Sometimes a kid isn't just (准备好的)to stay at home alone.
Keeping (忙碌的) with homework, chores and play can make your "home alone "time go (快速地). But you might find (自己) wondering what to do next. The trick is to think about your choices ahead of time. You might even want to keep a (清单) of things you like to do. Need some ideas to get you started?
