A. Some teenagers write to Cynthia[ /ˈsɪnθiə/辛西娅(女子名)], the host of a radio programme called Teen Time,about their problems with their parents. Read the parts of their emails below and describe each problem in one sentence. Steps for summarizing Step 1: Read the paragraph once without highlighting or circling any of its text. This will give you a general idea of the subject and the author’s purpose without getting too caught up in (被卷入；陷入) details and descriptions. Pay attention to the author’s purpose for writing the paragraph. Step 2: Re-read the paragraph while looking for key words and phrases, usually the words or phrases the author repeats. Step 3: Underline the paragraph’s first sentence, which often contains the paragraph’s main idea. Step 4: Write one sentence in your words, by connecting the key words you have circled. Avoid adding information or opinions that are not in the original paragraph. Rebecca’s problem: She wants her mother to pay less attention to her grades. Simon’s problem: He feels lonely because his parents do not spend much time with him. Laura’s problem: Her parents protect her too much. My mum keeps a notebook of my grades in every exam. She asks my teachers how I’m doing at school whenever she can. It seems as if my grades are the most important thing in her life. When we’re at home, she keeps pressing me to study all the time. I do as she says, but she is never happy with my grades. Why can’t she leave me alone(不管; 不打扰)? I want to take a break once in a while. I want to listen to music or go out with my friends. Is that too much to ask for? —Rebecca/rɪˈbekə/丽贝卡（女子名） I’m eager for my parents’ love. They’re always busy at work. I hardly ever see them during the week because they don’t get home until late at night. I tell them that I’m stressed (焦虑不安；心力交瘁) about schoolwork, but neither of them show any concern. Sometimes I feel quite lonely at home. When was the last time we had a family outing at the weekend? When was the last time we had a long talk? How can parents not care about(关心；关怀 ) their children? —Simon/ˈsaɪmən/西蒙（男子名） Everyone says that youth is a time for adventure, but my parents disagree. I spend most of my spare time at home, because they hardly ever let me go out with my friends. When I do go out, they always ask, “Where are you going?” “Who are you going with?” “What are you going to do?” “When will you be back?” They’re always on my back about something. be on sb's back about sth.缠磨；烦扰,不停地唠叨、催促、数落某人（反复为某事指责/念叨对方） I understand that they’re trying to protect me from getting hurt. However, just as a baby kangaroo must learn to protect itself when it leaves its mother’s pocket,I will have to learn to protect myself when I grow up. I wish they could be more flexible so that I can make my own choices about what to do in my spare time. —Laura/ˈlɔːrə/劳拉（女子名） so that 为了 (用以说明理由)；因此 B.Cynthia is replying to Rebecca’s email on the radio programme.

This is Cynthia. I understand your feelings. From your email, it sounds like you put a lot of effort into your schoolwork. If your mother doesn’t value(重视；珍视) that, of course you’re going to be unhappy! But remember: every parent has high hopes for (对...寄予厚望) 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 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(  /ˌriːlækˈseɪʃn/ 放松；休息；消遣；用于放松消遣的时间) is good for you too. Tell your mother about your interests and ask for [恳求(给予)] 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 doesn’t let you go out with your friends, 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(亲密的；密切的 ) to my mum and dad. Everything will turn out all right, I promise. C. In pairs, role-play (角色扮演) a conversation between Simon/Laura and Cynthia. Try to ask for and give advice. Use the following ideas and expressions to help you. Page 24 •Problem Simon/Laura has • Advice Cynthia gives Expressions: Asking for and giving advice •What would you say when asking for advice? What shall I do? What do you think I should do? Do you think that I should ...? Do you have any ideas/suggestions on ....? I am asking for some advice/ guidance on ... I have some problems at home that ... How can/should I ...? Should I ...? •What expressions can we use when giving advice? I suggest that you (should) ... I think/feel you can try ... It might be a good idea to ... How about/What about ...? I think you should/could/need to/must … You'd better … You are supposed to … It is good/useful for you to … Why don't you …? = Why not …? If I were you, I would … Possible answer Laura: Cynthia, my parents always want to know what I’m doing and where I am every minute of the day(时时刻刻). It’s really upsetting[令人不快(或忧虑、苦恼)的 ] because I want more freedom. What do you think I should do? Cynthia: Laura, I understand that you’re unhappy. It’s normal for someone your age to feel that way. But it’s parents’ job to protect their child from harm. I think you can try looking at things from their point of view. Laura: I see. Do you think that I should let them know I understand they love me, but that there are side effects [意外的连带后果,(药物的)副作用] of their overprotectiveness? Cynthia: Yes, I think so. I suggest that you show your parents how responsible you can be. Tell them not to worry about you when you’re out with your friends. It might be a good idea for you and your parents to agree on when you should be home when you do go out. Laura: OK, I’ll do that. Do you have any other suggestions? Cynthia: I do! You should also assure(使确信；向…保证 ) them that you’ll let them know when you need their help. Laura: Thanks Cynthia. I’ll let you know how it goes[(事情)进展，进行]! D.

I totally understand your desire to hang out with friends and make your own decisions in your spare time. Here are my practical suggestions for you. First, have a calm talk with your parents. Politely tell them you know they aim to keep you safe, but teenagers need chances to grow independently. Try to meet in the middle, such as promising to return home early when going out. Besides, take their feelings into consideration. Their endless questions and constant blame come from deep love rather than control. I’m convinced that proper communication will bridge the gap between you and your parents. Wish you a better relationship soon. Yours, Li Hua 三、亲子矛盾类建议信通用三段模板 Dear ______, I’m sorry to hear that you have trouble getting along with your parents. I fully understand your feelings and here are some useful tips for you. To begin with, it’s wise to communicate with them patiently. You can express your real thoughts gently and try to meet in the middle to reach an agreement. In addition, put yourself in their shoes. All their strict rules are just out of love and they worry about your safety all the time. I firmly believe that as long as you treat them with sincerity, your parent-child relationship will be greatly improved. Yours, Li Hua 四、给Rebecca的建议 Dear Rebecca, I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering from great stress caused by your mother’s high attention to your grades. I fully understand your wish to have free time for music and friends. Here are my suggestions. First of all, choose a peaceful moment to communicate with her. Softly tell her you have tried your best and constant pressure makes you tired. You can reach an agreement: you focus on study in exchange for proper spare time. Besides, try to see her side(理解她的立场，站在她的角度思考). Her close focus on your marks just shows she expects a bright future for you. If you treat her patiently, she will gradually understand your need to relax. Wish you a harmonious relationship soon. Yours, Li Hua 五、给 Simon的建议 Dear Simon, I feel sorry to know you feel lonely for lack of your parents’ company. It must be painful to study under pressure without their care. Here are my practical suggestions. First, take the initiative(/ɪˈnɪʃətɪv/ 主动权) to communicate with them. Write a short letter or talk gently when they are free, telling them your loneliness and stress from school. Besides, set a fixed family time. You can advise a weekend picnic or dinner, letting them realize you need their company badly. Keep in mind their busy work is to support the whole family. If you open your heart to them, they will surely spare(抽出；拨出；留出；匀出) more time for you. Yours, Li Hua Building skills A. Reading and speaking A0.

But all of my friends are allowed to stay out later than me. I think your rules are too strict. This has been upsetting me a lot as I can’t spend enough time relaxing and socializing with my friends. Describing the problem I think we can solve the problem together. I’m happy to come home at the time you choose if I have school the next day. But at the weekend I’d like to be able to stay out a bit later so that I can go to the cinema or play some sport with my friends. Will you please consider this suggestion? I’ll always tell you where I’m going and what time I’ll be back home. I hope that I have made myself clear and that we can discuss this idea soon.
