In this story, Judy Fong-Bates narrated a Chinese family in her hometown in Ontario. The family consisted of Sam Sing(father), Ken(son) and John(son). The sons wanted to buy a new coat because they had been sharing a coat for a long time and the coat was completely worn out. They tried to find a way to persuade his father to give them money to buy it. Their father was an old, tough, thrifty and stubborn guy. They came to Judy’s parents to get some advices about how to say and when to say to their father. After that, the day had come, John told his father that he wanted a new coat. His father started to get angry. Luckily, Ken blurted out that they needed a coat for John’s son because he would not be able to go to school without a coat and they wanted another coat for adult because it could be used by two generations.
I'm glad you were able to post this homework, Chanida, and I hope that you are feeling better now. A little reminder: "advice" is basically never plural. Also, while it is perfectly fine to use the word "guy" in spoken English and in very informal writing, it is not standard written English. Anyway, you have written good, concise summary of the plot!
