Second, do your homework: (Write it in your English notebook or answering my email) 

1) Find all the irregular verbs in simple past and write the three columns 
    (Infinitive - Simple Past - Past Participle)

2) Write a paragraph answering the following questions:

• Why do you think the mother in the story needs five minutes peace? 
• Why do you think the children follow their mother around the house?
• Do you ever need 5 minutes' peace?
• Do you think it's important to have time alone?

That's it for now! We'll speak soon. Please write back to tell me if you liked the story!

Love,
