2、多选题：
Dear Mom,Thanks for having me over last weekend to continue our discussion. I think we are close to an understanding, but I’m still a bit discouraged by your response. Even though you didn’t come right out and say it, you let me know just how you feel. I know how much you want me to be an independent adult, living on my own. I’m working toward this goal but need to move home for a while. It seems that Dad and Sheila welcome the idea, but I have to convince you. So here goes.First, you still need a lot of help around the house, and you know me: Housework is my favorite pastime. Dad and Sheila are such slobs, and you spend a lot of time cleaning up after them that you could be using for something more interesting. What about that drawing class you always talk about? Take it! Let me keep house! I might even be able to teach Dad and Sis to pick up after themselves for a change.Second, since I got my new job, I can help with the budget. I won’t be paying $850 a month to rent an apartment, so I’d be glad to give half that amount to you and Dad as rent. I could also buy my own food or give you a percentage toward your grocery bill. If I do contribute in these ways, I could still save close to $600 every month so that I can start college in the fall of next year. Since your house is close to my job, I could walk to work and save the gas money, which is killing me right now.Third, I don’t have a boyfriend anymore, and furthermore, I don’t want one for a long time to come. You won’t have to worry about my relationships this year. As I told you this weekend, I need to get serious about my future and get ready to go to school.Despite these huge advantages, I know you’ll say the same old thing: “Lisa, you’re 34. When are you going to settle down on your own and stop moving back home? This is the sixth time in 10 years.” The point, Mom, is that this time I’m preparing for the future. I think I’m finally growing up and realizing what it takes. This will be the last time—I promise. Just think: When I go off to college, Sheila will be a high school graduate, and we can go to school together. You and Dad will finally be empty nesters. Won’t that be fun? Please give it some more thought, Mom. How can you say no?Love,Lisa
