Original:

My science teacher sent a lot of pictures which children were making dumpling soup and said children would ask their parents homes address at the calling time in the evening, because they would write a letter to their parents. I walked home after  home. I was perspiring because it was hot, even though it took me only 15 minutes. When I reached home I rushed into the bathroom and took a bath. I didn’t look at the time. When I finish the bathing, my son called me. We only talked a few words, the calling time was over, so he hung up the phone in a hurry, I didn’t tell him my home’s address, so I sent a message to his teacher. His teacher told me my son played games without permission when he waited for my calling. His teacher punished him not calling me the next day, so today evening I will not receive his calling. His teacher also told me if had anything, I would call her, don’t worry about that.

Edited:

My son’s teacher sent me a lot of pictures yesterday, in which the children were making dumpling soup. She also said the children would write their parents a letter, so they would ask them for their home address when they call them in the evening. I walked home after  work and, even though it took me only 15 minutes, I was perspiring because it was hot. When I reached home I rushed into the bathroom and took a shower. I didn’t even look at the time. When I finished showering / my shower, my son called me. We only exchanged a few words / talked for a little bit, and the calling time was over. He hung up the phone in a hurry, and I didn’t tell him my home address, so I sent a message to his teacher. She told me that my son was playing videogames without permission when he was waiting for my call. She punished him by not letting him call me the next day, so this evening I will not receive his call. His teacher also told me that she would stay in touch if there were any problems, and that I shouldn’t worry about that.
