On his 14th birthday, our son Jack asked us for a set of drums. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. “It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,” Jack argued. In the end we gave in. “All right,” we said, “but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.”
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Jack’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical instruments. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Jack’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill – after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Jack how important his studies are.
Why did the writer give Jack the present he wanted?
A.She wanted to reward him for working hard.
B. He already had too many computer games.
C.She knew he would use it sensibly.
D.He persuaded her it would be a good idea.
