Problems Advice

always feels lonely and nervous at home
communicate with his elder brother and let him know he doesn’t mind him watching TV all the time, but he should let him watch his favorite show
Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Hunt’s advice Why
3b
I agree / disagree with his advice because … _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Agree:
Lack of communication is the cause of many problems. In this case, the family may truly not be aware of how the writer feels as they are too absorbed in their own problems. The parents may also be touched if the writer tries to help them by doing jobs around the house. In addition, it is not healthy for the writer to keep his negative feelings to himself. Talking is likely to help him feel better.
Agree:
I agree with his advice because they are families, communication is the best way to know each other and make them get on well with each other.
Disagree:
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.
Disagree:
I don’t agree with his advice. I don’t think their parents should fight any more. They should care more about their children and spend more time with them.
