Dear Mr Zhu,I am writing to your magazine’s “...

Dear Mr Zhu,

I am writing to your magazine’s “Teenagers Now” column(专栏) to ask for some help with my 16-year-old son. At the moment, he refuses to do almost everything his mother and I ask him to do. He is our only child and we treat him very well. His grandparents buy him many things, and yet he is still rude to us. He refuses to spend time with us or do as we tell him. Sometimes he acts as if he doesn’t even love us at all.

Now he refuses to do his homework, and instead insists on wasting his time watching DVDs and listening to foreign music. I cannot understand this music, but I don’t like it. He also spends too much time in Internet cafes, where he either plays games or chats online. He is wasting valuable time during this important period in his life!

What am I to do? At present, to prevent making his mother unhappy with an argument, I am allowing him his freedom. However, I am worried that if I keep allowing him to do what he wants, he may fail at school, or worse.

How can I help my son without harming our relationship?

Yours

Liu Zhenhua

Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪)．

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face­to­face conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

1.Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________．

A. find a good job

2.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. 致函　　 B. 称呼

C. 陈述　　 D. 选址

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, 15th May and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two matters we should bring your attention.

1. We had hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your advertisement said “comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early?

2. We had hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望), we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.

I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation. As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other fields.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Xue Mei，

I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now.But as a friend of yours，I don't think you should be unhappy.

I know that your family is not rich，so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands(名牌)，which makes you unhappy.Although we don't have much money，we can have a good mood every day.Many rich people have too much money，but they often feel bored and lonely.Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future.This is not easy for your parents.So you should thank them.Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach.Don't be vain­glorious(虚荣的)．

I also think you should put your heart into study.Read more books and you can get a lot from reading.Without the famous brand competition，you will become happy.

So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad.You should smile and think you are luckier in life.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you.Wish you happiness!

Yours，
