Unit 15

Unit 15 Not on a school night! LESSON 29 Mum, I'm going to the cinema tomorrow. Do you mind if I stop over at Flora's house afterwards? Yes, I do mind! I want you to be back here by 9. 30 at the latest. 9. 30! The film doesn't finish till 10! I won't be able to go! Can't you or Dad pick me up outside the cinema? Please! No, I'm sorry, Lucy. Not on a school night. But Mum! Everybody's going! I'll be surprised if everyone is going. You've got school next day. 9. 30 is late enough. Oh, Mum! Look, Lucy! You have a lot of freedom. Your father and I work all day, and we pick you up, late at night, a couple of times a week. That's fine at weekends, but not during the week. As far as I'm concerned, you may not stay out later than 9. 30 on a school night. Flora's mother lets her go out. And we let you go out- but not on a school night! I'll be surprised if Flora stays out late in the week. You may go to the cinema on Friday. And I'll pick you up outside the cinema at ten o'clock.
