Integrated skills b one, listen to synthes IaaS reply and circle the correct words to complete the sentences below. Hi Rebecca. This is synthia. I understand your feelings from your email. IT sounds like you put a lot of effort into your school work 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 following these pieces of advice and see if they help improve your relationship. First, talk to your mother, make sure he 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 to 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 he does. I know IT isn't easy, but you must be patient. When your mother doesn't let you go out with your friends, think about the reason why he 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 mom and dad. Everything will turn out, all right, I promise.
