         Fifteen is such an awful (糟糕的) age, I should know. I really wish I were eighteen. If you are an
    adult, you can be your own boss. People like my parents and my teachers are always telling me what
    to do. You know what I mean. "It's time for bed, Sandy." Or "Sandy, you've watched too much TV
    for one night." "Sandy, stand up straight." "Sandy, you must improve your handwriting." Sandy this,
    Sandy that. No one tells adults when they go to bed or not to watch TV. Besides, adults get to wear
    what they like... Now it's going to be great to be an adult. Don't you agree?

         I'm Sandy's mother. Having a fifteen-year-old daughter isn't always easy. Right now, we've got
    a problem. Our neighhour, Mrs. White, wants Sandy to look after her pet dog for one week. Sandy
    really wants to do it, but (I                     ). She's too young and inexperienced. Well, I will never be
    able to relax knowing she is all alone with a dog. I've tried to explain my feelings to her, but she
    won't listen. She keeps telling me that the Whites live very near, so she can ask for help. She insists
    that Mrs. White won't ask her to look after her pet dog if she doesn't think Sandy is old enough. She
    says I'm "babying" her and I hate to see her mad at me
    . What should I do?
    Finish the tasks according to the passage.
    1. Sandy is fifteen years old and she wishes to be her own ______.
    2. Sandy thinks her parents and her teachers are always telling her what to do. Give an example.
