Dear Nancy, 
Your father and I have to go out for several days. So you and your brother have to do chores these days. You cook dinner and take care of the dog everyday. You should walk the dog, give it water and feed it. And then wash it bowl and play with it. Don't forget to clean it bed. Your brother Tom has to make his bed by himself, and water the garden. Both of you have to clean the room everyday. Don't forget to sweep the floor three times a week. Have fun! See you next week. 

                                                                                               Your mother, Jane
