Reading
Susan Luo, an adviser for teenagers, has received a letter asking for some advice. Read and answer.
1. Who has a problem
2. Who gives advice
3. What’s the problem
4. What’s the advice
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.
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. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend.
All the best

Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand quite well that sometimes you are anxious and afraid. It’s common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live away from their parents.
I recommend that you should talk to your teachers about your problem. It’s not unusual to feel unaccustomed to be far away from parents at first. But spending too much time thinking of your parents is not good for your school life, and makes it impossible for you to focus on your study. I think you should concentrate on your study. By the way, you can use your free time to help others, since helping others can make us feel happy. I also encourage you to make friends with your classmates, because being friendly to your classmates can make it possible for you to become their friend. Why not contact your parents with your phone when you are free
This will help you drive away your loneliness.
All the best,
Cathy

Dear Eric,
You wrote that your parents won't listen when you tell them things. I understand quite well that you are a little disappointed and upset and feel terrible. You think that your parents can't understand you.
I recommend that you talk to your parents about your feelings and your expectations. When you want to tell them something, try to do it in a respectful way. Although it is commonly seen that there is a generation gap betwwen parents and teenagers, sharing ideas among family members is very important. I think you should tell them you are old enough to do something or make a decision on your own. I am sure they will listen to you, since they are your parents and what they do is to do good to you.
All the best,
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 ay suggestions
