It was a dark and stormy night. I was alone at home. When I was going to bed， I heard a knocking sound on my window.

“Who's there？” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning (一道闪电). I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien. I felt afraid. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents， but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a party.

I looked out of my window but saw nothing. Then I heard footsteps (脚步声). They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to my desk where I put my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures. Soon the footsteps disappeared.

It was 12 o'clock. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep， but I felt too frightened to sleep. My mind was full of thoughts.

The next day I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I found them to be exactly the same size as my father's shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then took out the camera and saw the photos. But to my surprise， they were so dark that I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.

When I told the whole things to my father， he started to laugh. He told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party， so I started laughing too.

Home alone for the first time

My parents have gone to Shanghai on business, so I stay at home alone. In the morning, I tidied up my bedroom and washed my clothes. At noon, I cooked for the first time. It was a very simple, but simply delicious lunch. In the afternoon, I did my homework first, and then watched TV.

Although I’ve never stayed at home alone before, I’m doing very well. I’m really proud of myself!

How to keep a good relationship with parents

In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me.

However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.

In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard, listen to them, talk to them as friends, tell them my troubles, and help them do more housework.

One possible version：

Would you like to live in school? We had a survey about it and here's the result. Most students prefer to live in school because they find it convenient to communicate with their classmates. Also, they can learn how to look after themselves in this way.

However, some students think living at home is a better choice. The main reason is that they can relax better at home. Besides, they can spend more time with their family members and get on better with them.

As for me, I'd like to live in school. That's because I can spend more time on study. What's more, it's a wonderful experience to live with other classmates.
