Dear Dr Know,
Help! There are too many rules in my life. Every morning, I have to make my bed before breakfast. I have to hurry to school because I can't be late for school. When I'm at school, I mustn’t use my phone in class either. And I have to wear the uniform.
After school, there are even more rules! I have to finish my homework first. I can only play basketball after I practise the piano. I can't hang out with my friends on weekdays. I know some rules are important, but this is awful! What can I do?
Yours,
Alice

Yes, there are many rules in life! But they can help you to become a better person.
You mustn't be late for class. That shows respect for your class and teacher.You can't use your phone in class because you need to focus on learning.You have to wear a uniform because it builds school spirit.
You can also think about the things you can do! You can use your phone at home. You can relax after you finish your homework. And you can hang out with friends at weekends!
I know it's hard, but rules can help to make the world better. Remember: No rules, no order!
Best,
Dr. Know

Why is each rule important?
What is your advice for each rule?
Choose three important rules from 2a. Discuss the questions with a partner.
e.g. Eric must clean his room every day and he can’t get his desk
untidy. I think it’s an important rule. It helps him to develop
good habits. A clean desk can also make him feel more
comfortable and focused when he studies in his room.
2a
Write a reply to Eric as Dr Know. Give him some advice.
Dear Eric,
I know it can be difficult to follow many rules. But rules can be good for us...
2c
In the reply, you can:
show your understanding and empathy(同情) for Eric’s feelings;
explain the meanings and functions behind each rule;
guide Eric to treat rules in a positive way;
offer some good advice to help him deal with rules.
Dear Eric,
I know it can be difficult to follow many rules. But rules can be good for us. Rules are there to help us. They can help keep our homes tidy and our schools in order. They can help us have good habits and learn to do many things well. You see rules are good
because they can help us become a better person. Try and look at the positive side of rules and you will have more fun!
All the best,
Dr Know
