Retell the main plot.
Think and share
1. What kind of person do you think the son is
2. What advice can you give the son and his mother
He is a kind, responsible and helpful person, but sometimes
forgets to communicate with his family when he is busy helping others.
To the son: Always call or text your parents if you’re going to be late, even if you’re doing something good. They don’t know what happens to you, so they will worry.
To the mother: Try to listen to your child’s explanation first before getting angry. Good communication needs patience from both sides.
Language points
1.Yes, I promised to be back before 9 tonight.
The promise wasn't kept, so you can't stay out late next time.
(1) promise to do sth表示“许诺做某事”，其中promise是动词。例如:
He promised to fix the car by the end of the week.
他承诺在这周末之前修好车。
(2) keep one's promise表示“守信，遵守诺言”其中promise是名词。例如:
He always keeps his promise. That's why people trust him.他总是遵守自己的诺言，这就是人们信任他的原因。
2. I am sorry for being cross with you.
对不起，我对你发脾气了。
be cross with sb意思是“对……生气或不满”，其中cross作形容词用，意为“生气的，恼怒的”。例如:
She was cross with the man for interrupting her speech frequently.
这个男人频繁打断她的演讲，这让她很恼火。
