Mom: Time to do your homework. Do you have everything ready?  

Xiao Mei: Let me see… I need my English textbook to read the lesson.  

Mom: What about your writing tools?  

Xiao Mei: I have my favorite pen for writing, and an eraser in case I make mistakes.  

Mom: Don’t forget to use a ruler to draw straight lines.  

Xiao Mei: All these are kept neatly in my pencil case. I’m ready to start!
