疑难点拨
Dear Mr. Hunt,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my family. Relations between my parents have become difficult. They fight a lot, and I really don’t like it. It’s the only communication they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big, black cloud hanging over our home.
get on with sb= get along (well) with sb 和某人相处
我不知道我是否应该就这件事对他们说点什么。
If “是否” 引导宾语从句=whether I don’t know if \whether he will come
他们争吵时，就像大片乌云笼罩在我们家上空。
argue with sb 和某人争论
表语从句 be动词(am is are)后面跟的都是表语从句
n. 交流, 沟通 (v. communicate)
hang over 悬浮于空中
say something to sb 对某人说某事
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 don’t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal
What can I do
Sad and Thirteen
elder 年纪较长的
be nice to sb 对某人友好的

相反，晚上他却可以观看他想看的任何节目，一直看到很晚。

Post-reading
Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Hunt’s advice Why
Agree
Disagree
Because communication can make family members understand each other better and know about the feelings they have.
I don’t think his parents will listen to him. He could write a letter to them to tell them how he feels. It's his parents' duty to care for their children.
