Dear Dr Jackson, My parents are never pleased with me. They are always criticizing (批评) my clothes, my hair and the music I listen to. They hate my friends' looks and they keep complaining when I go with them. I'm not allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I can't have any fun. My parents only seem to care about my school marks. Although I love them, sometimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love me, why don't they understand me? Angel |
|
Dear Angel, Your problem is common to both teenagers and parents. Don't worry, because all this is natural. You see, your parents have grown up at a different time and they have different experiences. So, they think some things are strange, but you find the same things ordinary. For example, the music you like may sound like noise to them. Your parents love you, so they feel they must protect you from whatever they find strange. On the other hand, you don't want to be different teenagers, so you feel that your parents restrict you. I think you should talk about this problem with your parents. Try to explain to them what you want and make them know they can believe you. Sooner or later, they'll find you are a responsible (有责任心的) person and they will give you more freedom. Dr. Jackson |

Dear Li Hua,
I miss you so much. I'm sorry I didn't reply to your e-mail last Saturday because I went swimming with my roommate. She is a lovely girl from England. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I came back. In your last e-mail, you told me your family planned to visit Chaozhou this Saturday. I went there with my parents by train last October. My aunt and my cousin also went there. We met at Chaoshan Railway Station. I must recommend Teochew cuisine(推荐潮州菜)to you. I'm sure you will fall in love with it immediately. Besides visiting places of interest, we also enjoyed Chao Opera during our stay. But none of us could understand it. The traffic in Chaozhou isn't very heavy. You can take a bus or a taxi to go around. I know you like different kinds of bridges. Then you can't miss Guangji Bridge, one of the most famous bridges in Chaozhou.
By the way, I will come back on July 4th to celebrate my father's birthday. What about going to the new park in the city center after, come pack? Please reply to me if you are interested in it and tell me the exact time and place to meet and other information.
Yours,
Mary

Dear Sally,
Thanks for your letter. It was great to you. You asked me to tell you my favorite day of the week. Well, it's definitely Friday.
One I like Fridays is because I have my favorite subjects at school: PE and chemistry. Chemistry's great because we do experiments in the science lab and our teacher, Mr. King, is so funny. In PE we play basketball, which is my favorite sport. I'm good at it because I'm quite tall. Our team always .
We also have French on Fridays, which is actually my least favorite subject, but after that we have ICT which is much . At the moment I'm a webpage for our basketball team. After school I hang out with my friends, then in the evening I play football at the sports center. On Friday nights we sometimes go to someone's house for a party to watch a film. We can relax a bit on Friday evenings because there no school on Saturday.
Tell about your favorite day in your next letter. Write soon.
Love
Danny
Dear Ann,
How are you?
Do you like your school? I like my school a lot. My teachers are very nice. Some of my subjects are fun, but some of them are boring. I like English and Art, but I don't like Maths.
My brother likes his school too. He likes Maths, but he doesn't like English. His favourite class is PE. He likes it very much. Does your sister like her school? What subjects do you like?
Yours,
Emma
Dear Emma,
It's nice to hear from you. I'm fine, thanks. Yes, I like my school, but my sister doesn't. She doesn't like homework! I like Music and English, but I don't like PE. I like all of my teachers. Miss Lee is my favourite teacher. She teaches Music. Her classes are always fun. Do you have a favourite teacher?
Yours,
Ann
Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Eating Out
There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn't eat at McDonald's every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.
Public Transport
In New York, there's a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!
Places to See
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York—Times Square, the Statue of Liberty. . . And you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax on everything you buy in New York.
Dear John,
Thanks for your letter. You want to know my class rules. Now let me tell you about them.
I have lots of strict but helpful class rules. First, I can't be late for class. I must be on time for every class. So I have to get up early. Second, I must listen to the teachers carefully in class. I can't talk with my classmates in class. I must be quiet in class. Third, I can't listen to music in class, but I can listen to it after class. What's more, I can't eat in the classroom because it makes the classroom dirty. So I have to eat in the dining hall.
Yours,
Jane

After a relaxing weekend, children have to go back to school on Mondays. For parents, they should do something helpful to let their children get to school on time.
Let children take a good shower. It's good for children to take a shower before they go to bed. It can not only help them sleep well but also save time next morning.
Ask children to go to bed early. School generally starts at 8:00 a. m. So please let your children go to bed before 9:30 p. m. Your children should sleep for about nine hours every day. This is quite important as they have to get up early next day.
Make a good breakfast for children. Breakfast can help children study better in the day. It can help students listen to teachers carefully and think well in class. Also, it's good for their health.
Getting to school on time is very important for your children. So please try your best to help them. If you can do the things above, they will study and live happily.
