Read Simon's letter again and finish the table. achieve a balance between homework and hobbies stays up late to finish his homework wastes time on mobile phone plays football for hours after school falls behind is under a lot of stress at school Think & share Based on the letter, what do you think are the three main causes of Simon's stress? Explain briefly. The three main causes are: Too much schoolwork – He spends more time on it than his classmates and has to stay up late. Poor time management – He wastes time on his mobile phone when he should be studying. Too much football – He plays for hours after school, which takes time away from his studies. These three problems together make him fall behind in his classes and feel stressed. Think about the questions below. Share your answers with your classmates. 1. Whose problem do you think is more difficult to solve, Kitty's or Simon's? Give your reasons. I think Kitty’s problem is more difficult to solve. Kitty’s parents control nearly every part of her life and refuse to listen to her ideas when she talks with them. This is a big generation gap between her and her parents, and it is hard to change adults’ fixed opinions. However, Simon’s problem is just about managing his time between homework and football. He can solve it by making a good study plan and improving self-discipline, which only depends on himself. So Kitty’s trouble is harder to fix. Post reading 2. What advice would you give to Kitty and Simon? To Kitty (Zhang Ke): 1. Talk to parents calmly and patiently, tell them you respect their love but want more chances to make small choices. 2. Show your parents you can make responsible decisions slowly to win their trust. 3. Reach compromises, such as having small treats occasionally while keeping a healthy diet. To Simon (Luo Yang): 1. Make a reasonable timetable to balance study, football and rest. 2. Keep away from mobile phones while doing homework to stop wasting time. 3. Reduce football playing time properly instead of giving it up completely. 4. Finish homework on time and stop staying up late. 3. What do you think is the most important thing when dealing with teenage problems? I think communication is the most important thing when dealing with teenage problems. For teenagers like Zhang Ke and Luo Yang, troubles mainly come from misunderstanding or poor self-management. If teenagers can talk honestly with parents or advisors, they can express their true feelings and worries clearly. Meanwhile, adults need to listen patiently instead of sticking to their own ideas. Only with two-way communication can people understand each other, find proper solutions and ease conflicts.
