Situation: A month ago, you were out with some friends and got into a little bit of trouble. Your parents grounded you for a mon
th. You have never been in trouble in any way before that. Now that it is over, they have told you that you can go out again with friends on Friday and Saturday evenings only, and you must be home by 9:00. You would like more lenient rules. Several of your friends have plans for the coming Saturday, plans that would require you to get home after 11:00 PM at the earliest. You are going to write a note to your friends to explain the situation, and you are going to write a message to your parents in which you ask for a different set of rules.
The question you have wasn't stated in the information given, but I infer you were asking for help on this assignment.
First the assignment is asking you to do two things. Explain to your friends why you can no longer hang out past 9 pm, then write to your parents asking can you have more lenient rules.
Here are some tips I can give you:
- Tell your friends that because of some recent events in the past your parents have changed the rules of you being out. Be completely honest and tell them that you are making the decision to be obedient to your parents.
- Secondly in the letter you write to your parents plead with them to give you another chance to hang out past 9. Explain to them that the events in the past were a one time occurence and unexpected. Prove to them you can be responsible.
I think I did everything pretty well. I only wish I could do one thing better because I didn't like how it came out. I mostly made errors in commas and sometimes made errors in spelling. But after all that I think I did good.
