3. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Can you get on well with him/her?
Look at this letter to a magazine and the reply from Robert Hunt, a school counselor.
Complete the chart.
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. 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
Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Hunt’s advice? Why?
I agree/disagree with his advice because…
I agree with his advice because lack of communication can cause a lot of problems in our daily life. So we should always communicate with people more.
I disagree with his advice because the parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is being disrespectful. They may feel that children should not comment on the behavior of their seniors.
Language points
1. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night.
instead 用作副詞，意為“代替，頂替”，單獨使用時位于句首或句末。如：
沒有咖啡了，改喝茶行嗎？
There’s no coffee. Would you like some tea instead?
instead of 是介詞短語，意為“代替……”，后面可跟名詞、代詞、介詞短語、V-ing形式等。如：
我媽媽步行去購物而不是坐公交車。
My mother went shopping on foot instead of by bus.
你為什么不參加踢足球而只是看熱鬧？
Why don’t you play football instead of just looking on?
2) until作連詞，意為“直到……為止”，用于肯定句中時，表示主句的動作或狀態一直持續到從句動作發生或狀態出現時為止。如：
他和父母住在一起，一直到大學畢業。
He lived with his parents until he graduated from college.
我將留在這里一直到十二點鐘。
I shall stay here until twelve o'clock.
