Write a letter of advice
1 Susan Luo，an adviser for teenagers, has
received a letter asking for some advice.
Read her reply and discuss the questions.
10 September 2018
Dear Worried Friend.
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend，Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
Date
Date
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life.
Body
I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together am sure he will listen to you，since you are his good friend.
All the best，
Susan Luo

1 What is Worried Friend′s problem
Worried Friend is worried that his or her friend，Chen Lei，plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
I think it′s useful. Because a friend′s encouragement can be helpful to him and through talking，he may realise the problem and stop playing computer games.
2 Do you think Ms Luo′s advice is useful Why or why not
I would tell Chen Lei that he should spend his time more productively with an eye on his future. For example，instead of playing computer games，he could learn computer programming. Who knows He might become a great figure in that field when he′s older.
3 What other kinds of advice would you give
Form a habit to learn them by heart!
If you are his friend, what's your advice to him
From my point of view，“all play and no work makes Jack a mere boy”，because all play will make you lose attraction to other things. Instead，without all work, you will make it difficult to focus on school and family life. Actually，it is an unhealthy lifestyle for teenagers of our generation.
Obviously， it is not only a bad behavior， but also an unhealthy lifestyle and unusual to us.
“If you have a dream to university，you must always prepare for a rainy day”. To be honest, our senior high school is really a short period. We are sure to meet with any problems like a rainy day jumping at us. We should try every Freshman Challenge with good preparations.
Remember “Distance tests a horse′s strength. Time reveals a person′s character!”As your good friend, I hope you can follow me and keep our word. Stop playing computers too much on the Internet and you will make a bigger difference.
2 Study the organisation and language features.
1 Find and mark the parts of the letter that match the following points.
A I know what the problem is.
B I understand how you feel.
C This is my advice and reason(s).
D I think my advice will help.
I know what the problem is. I understand quite well...
B. I understand how you feel. You think that...
C. This is my advice and reason(s). I recommend that...
D. I think my advice will help. I′m sure he will listen to you.
2 What expressions does Ms Luo use to make suggestions
Circle them in the letter

Worried Friend

3 Use what you have learnt to write a letter of
advice to one of the teenagers below.
1 Work in groups. Choose one of the teenagers and discuss
his/her problem. List possible suggestions and reasons.
Eric，15，Chicago
My parents won′t listen when I tell them things. I guess it′s because they′re adults and can′t understand me. Do you have any suggestions
Suggestion Reason
My parents won′t listen. If I were you，I would′t talk with my parents because I don′t have time. I always go to school and devote myself to studying.
On the contrary，I won′t talk with them until they have a better understanding of me，even though they are studying in their bedroom.
Xu Ting, 14, Hangzhou
I always feel lonely afterschool because my parents work in another city. What can l do
Suggestion Reason
I always feel lonely. As far as I′m concerned，I recommend that you should go to after-school class for there are a lot of children like you in the class. You can discuss with them or play some computer games in the free time.
If you still feel lonely，I think you should arrange some study tasks for yourself. Why not make up for your courses I′m sure you won't feel lonely then.
Xu Ting, 14, Hangzhou
There is a girl 1 like in my class，but I′m too shy to talk to her. Please help me!
Suggestion Reason
There is a girl I like in my class. I understand quite well that anyone of us will like a girl to a certain degree. As a result，Someone who′s quite self-confident will speak it out to her，then perhaps they will go on making friends. Maybe， more often，the girl will refuse him.
Suggestion Reason
There is a girl I like in my class. Anyone who is too shy to let out the secret will keep it to himself or herself alone. Actually，most people have already chosen to do so. I think such is very necessary to us young Chinese students， because we have to study hard at our lessons and do some more amusements or practical activities during the three-year precious period.
Your friends Work alone：since they are your friends，please offer one suggestion or reason to each of them.

Dear Xu Ting，
You are worried that you feel very terrible about feeling lonely. I understand that how you feel.
To be honest，I think maybe you should join after-school class，because there are a lot of children like you. During the periods you can discuss anything with them or play some games.
A层：基础层
If you still feel lonely， personally you ought to arrange some study tasks for yourself. Why not make up for your courses I′m sure that you will feel more pleased instead of feeling lonely.
Best wishes!

Dear Xu Ting，
You are worried that you feel very terrible about being lonely. I understand how you feel because you don′t stay together with your parents who are working in another city.
To be honest，I think maybe you should join after-school activities because there are a lot of children like you.
Of course，during the period you can focus on discussing anything with them even playing some games.
If you still feel lonely，personally you ought to arrange some study tasks for yourself and concentrate on it. Why not make up for your courses and you won′t feel lonely. I′m sure you will be attracted to your study here. You should be responsible for yourself.
C 层：竞赛类
Do you agree or disagree with the following statements Because modern life is very complex，it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and organize. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Needless to say，the ability to plan and organize has always been essential，however，these days the methods used to plan and organize our daily lives have changed. Our world has become more business oriented and being late is unacceptable in most social environments.Whether you are young or old，there is no question that planning and organizing is essential. I completely agree with the above statement.
I was born in the late 80′s，and when I grew up I remember seeing a lot of people using small calendars to take notes. I also remember seeing a watch on almost everyone′s wrist. Those were the tools needed to stay organized in the past. No one would use their cell phone to plan anything because those functions were virtually non-existent.
Unfortunately，as our society has evolved into a more materialistic and developed version of our past society， people have become too reliant on technology. For example，it has become virtually impossible to keep a conversation going between friends without someone fiddling with their cell phone or someone answering a phone call. Alarm clocks and other devices with power cords are basically non-existent and the use of wireless devices are on the rise.
When we use our phone as our personal assistant，there are way too many potential problems. Being late because the alarm didn′t go off due to our phones running out of battery
and missing a meeting because we put something in our calendar and forgot about it are just two pared to things in the past，I would say that we have become more disorganized.
In order to solve this issue I believe that we need to start planning and organizing like we did in the past. Bring back the paper calendars with the big red circles marking important events and start using old-school alarm clocks that literally makes you jump out of bed at the moment it goes off!
To conclude，having the ability to plan and organize is definitely an essential skill. In order to improve our ability to do that，we should become less reliant on technology and start using less convenient but more effective methods，or at least make sure that our phones are fully charged (or charging) when we go to bed.
