Unit 2 Let's talk teens Integrated skills 建议信学案-2023-2024学年高中英语牛津译林版（2020）必修第一册

U2学写建议信 Dear Rebecca, I understand your feelings. As you mentioned in the email, you put a lot of effort into your schoolwork. If your mother doesn’t value that, of course you’re going to be unhappy. But remember: every parent has high hopes for their children. Your mother wants you to be successful but she probably fails to see how you struggle. Try these pieces of advice and see if they help improve your relationship. First, talk to your mother. Make sure she understands your feelings. Choose a good time and start the conversation politely. You can begin with something like, “I know that you expect me to do well at school, but I’m struggling sometimes. Can we please talk?” you should also try to meet in the middle when talking to your mother. Of course, school matters, but relaxation is good for you too. Tell your mother about your interests and ask for more free time to spend on them. For example, if you like listening to music, explain why you enjoy it and how it helps you. Why don’t you make a deal that you are both satisfied with? Second, put yourself in your mother’s shoes and try to understand what she does. I know it isn’t easy, but you must be patient. When your mother keeps pressing you to study all the time, think about the reason why she does so. When I was your age, I thought senior high school was tiring too. I couldn’t understand why my parents were so strict with me. However, when I grew up, I realized that they just wanted me to have the best possible future. After that, I became so much closer to my mum and dad. Everything will turn out all right, I promise. Yours sincerely, Cynthia 亲爱的丽贝卡: 我理解你的感受。正如你在邮件中提到的，你在功课上付出了很多努力。如果你妈妈不重视这一点，你当然会不开心。 但是记住:每个父母都对自己的孩子寄予厚望。你母亲希望你成功，但她可能看不到你是如何奋斗的。试试这些建议，看看它们是否有助于改善你们的关系。 首先，和你妈妈谈谈。确保她理解你的感受。选择一个合适的时间，礼貌地开始对话。你可以这样开始:“我知道你希望我在学校表现好，但我有时很挣扎。我们能谈谈吗？”和妈妈说话也要尽量中间碰头。当然，学校很重要，但是放松对你也有好处。告诉你的母亲你的兴趣，并要求更多的空闲时间花在这些事情上。例如，如果你喜欢听音乐，解释你为什么喜欢它，它如何帮助你。为什么不做一个双方都满意的交易呢？ 第二，设身处地为你母亲着想，试着理解她的做法。我知道这不容易，
