Tanya helps her family.

Tanya Lawson was always a hard- working student, but now she often
arrives late at school. Her teachers are worried because they say she isn’t
getting enough sleep. They think she’s going to bed too late, probably
because she’s going out with friends. Her teachers don’t know the truth.
“My family is having financial problems at the moment. My dad hasn’t got a
job and my mum is looking after my little sister- she’s only six months old. So
I’ve got a job to help with the money”. After school, Tanya works in various
neighbours’ houses. “From Monday to Friday, I do the ironing in five different
houses in my street, and on Saturday morning I help at home. I’m an expert at
household chores now!”
So, when does she do her homework? “I do it when I get home after work, at
about ten o’clock at night. That’s why I’m tired when I go to school, but I don’t
want to tell the teachers because I don’t want people to know about the
money problems we’ve got.”
