But Mom, I'm having difficulty with this math song work.

I am writing messages to my friend Glenn.

Is he helping you with math at the moment?

Yes, Mom. He's very good at maths.

He always explains the problems I cannot solve.

Okay then. I'll be back to check on you in 15 minutes.

Please start doing your homework.

Thanks, Mom.

The mother goes back to Grace's room 15 minutes later.

Grace is sitting in front of her computer and she's playing games.

Are you playing games on your computer now?

Your homework is not ready.

Why are you not doing your homework?

But this game is about the homework.

Come on, Grace. Why are you telling me lies?

I am not, Mom. I am tired and I cannot solve the problems now.

I am having a little fun.

I am playing an online game with Greg. I can do my homework after the game.

Please, Mom. Let me play a little.

Okay then. You can play for half an hour. And don't tell lies from now on.

Okay, Mom. I promise. You're great. Thank you.
