Look at this letter to a magazine and the reply from Robert Hunt, a school counselor. Complete the chart.Dear Mr. Hunt,My problem is that I cant get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really dont like it. Its the only communication they have. I dont know if Ishould say anything to them about this. When they argue, its like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I dont think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal?What can I do?Sad and ThirteenDear Sad and Thirteen,Its not easy being your age, and its normal to have these feelings. Why dont you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why dont you sit down and communicate with yourbrother? You should explain that you dont mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.Robert HuntProblems Advice 1.Relations between my parents have become difficult. 2.My elder brother is not very nice to me.1.Why dont you talk about these feelings with your family?2.

Read the article and answer the questions.1. What is the common problem for Chinese and American families ?2. Who gives their opinions about the problem?Guessing the MeaningWhen reading something for the first time, do not worry about words you do not know. Use the context to help you guess the meaning.Maybe You Should Learn to Relax!These days, Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win. However, this doesnt only happen in China.The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylors three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my childrens future. I really want them to be successful.” However, thetired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then its time for homework. Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families,competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. I dont think thatsfair. Why dont they just let their kids be kids? People shouldnt push their kids so hardDoctors say too much pressure is not good for a childs development. Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although its normal to want successful children, its even more important to have happy children.”2c Look at the words in bold in the article.Can you guess their meanings?
