5. Children are now more independent, more confident in solving problems on their own. They become alienated from the family – a teenager who has spoilt his relations with parents is usual, even typical, nowadays. Read these letters, find out the problem and give some advice, how to overcome the difficulties described in the following situations.
Not fair
I get 1.50 dollars pocket money, but most of my friends get much more. When I ask Mum and Dad for more, they say I can have more, if I help in house, but I don’t see, why I should. Mum’s at home all day, and it’s her job to look after the house, not mine. What do you think?
Sharon, 14
Weighty problem
Girls don’t find me attractive and I think the reason is, that I am fat. Ever since, I was about seven, I’ve been on the chubby side. But it didn’t worry me, until now. I’m quite intelligent and have lots of friends, but not the type, I’d like. What should I do?
Peter, 14
Bullies at school
Please. Help me, because I’m in terrible trouble. There are bullies at my school who hit me and kick me. And they say, I have to give them money or they’ll really hurt me. I’m frightened of them. I haven’t got any money to give them. Please, tell me what to do.
Jeremy, 14
Roses and red…
I am in love with a girl who is very attractive. A friend introduced us. She doesn’t know how I fell. I have her address and telephone number, but I don’t know what to do. Should I call her? I could send her some roses or chocolates, but I can’t decide which is better. If I send something, what should I write on the card?
Andrew, 15
Problems with lessons
I’m very worried because the lessons at school are too difficult for me. I don’t understand them, but others in the class know what the teachers are talking about. Who should I talk to? We have exams soon. And I know, I am going to fail them. My parents will be furious, because they think, I’m going OK. Please, help.
Suzie, 17
My friends steal
Some of my friends steal things from shop after school. Usually it’s sweets, but some of them steal bigger things too, and sell them or just give them away. They keep telling me to go with them, but I don’t want to. They say I’m a coward. I don’t want to steal, but I don’t want to look stupid, either. What should I do?
6. Persuation.
Cut the list in this way and give your students only the first part of it – the situation. They read it and work in pairs trying to decide how they would persuade the mother to let her daughter go to the party. Write some necessary expressions on the board, for example: Please, mum, all my friends are going. That may be true. Oh, come on, Mum. Why can’t I go? I know, Mum, but… I am afraid not, etc. After making up the dialogues, give your students the second part of the card and compare their versions with the version on the list.
Persuation
The situation
You have been invited to a really good party but your uncle is coming to visit you. You know, that your mother will want you to stay in. Work in pairs and decide how you would persuade her to let you go. Write down some of the expressions you might use. Example: Please! All my friends are going. Compare your version with the one on the tape. The dialogue.
A: Mum, can I go to a party on Saturday?
B: This Saturday?
A: Yes!
B: I’m afraid, not. Auntie Pat John is coming round.
A: I know, mum, but it’s going to be a great party – everyone’s going.
B: That may be true, but you know that Auntie Pat likes seeing you, and you weren’t here last time.
A: But I’ll be here, when she arrives and I promise I’ll sit down and talk to her then.
B: You’re known about Auntie Pat’s visit for months…
A: I know. But I really want to go. It’s going to be the party of the year. Look, I’ll even help you to cook, if you let me go.
B: I am sorry. You’ll have to give it a miss.
A: Oh, come on, Mum. Why can’t I go?
