Sad and Thirteen
Read the letter quickly and find out Sad and Thirteen’s problems.
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

Robert Hunt
After reading the letter, I gave him some advice.
Dear Sad and Thirteen,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your family If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication.
Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with your brother You should explain that you don’t mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.

Language points
2. When they argue, it's like a big, black cloud hanging over
our home.
1) argue意为 “争吵,争论”。其名词形式为argument 。
固定短语：
argue with sb. = have an argument with sb. “与某人争论”
argue about sth. “就某事争论”
argue with sb about sth. “为某事与某人争论”
(2) hang over “挂在…之上，悬浮在…之上”
eg. White clouds hang over the mountain peaks.
山峰上白云缭绕。
3. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me.
辨析：elder与older
elder 年纪较长的 只可指人 用来比较年龄大小,尤指兄弟姐妹的长幼关系,只能作定语。
older 年龄较大的 指人 在句中可作定语,也可作表语。
较旧的 指物 My younger son is five and my elder son is nine。
我的小儿子5岁，大儿子9岁。
Tom is two years older than I. 汤姆比我年长两岁。
4. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night.
1) instead 副词, 意为 “反而; 代替; 而不是”, 通常放在句首或句末，在句首时，常用逗号隔开。 e.g.
If we can’t go to Huashan, we’ll go to Xi’an instead.
如果我们不能去华山，我们就去西安游玩。
【区别】
instead of 介词短语, 意为 “代替；而不是”, 后面跟与前面并列成分相对应的名词、代词、介词短语、动词 ing形式。
Instead of going to Beijing I’m going to Dalian this year.
My mother went shopping on foot instead of by bus.
Why don't you play football instead of just looking on
2) whatever 代词, 意为 “无论什么;任何(事物)”, 相当于no matter what, 引导让步状语从句。类似的词还有whoever(无论谁), whenever (无论何时), wherever(无论何地), however (无论怎样)。e.g.
Whatever I suggest, he always disagrees.
无论我提什么建议，他都不同意。
I will do whatever you wish. 我会对你言听计从。
【注】
whatever引导的从句作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。eg：
Whatever I have is yours. 无论我有什么都是你的。
5. If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help.
offer 动词, 意为 “主动提出;自愿给予;提供”。
① offer to do sth. “主动提出做某事”；
② offer sb. sth. = offer sth. to sb. “给某人提供某物”
= provide sb (with) sth. = provide sth. for sb.
e.g. She offered me a cup of tea. 她给我端了杯茶。
He offered to go instead of me. 他主动提出代替我去。
6. Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with
your brother
1) communicate
① 作不及物动词时, 意思是“沟通,交流”, 常用搭配为：
communicate with sb. “和某人沟通/交流/通话”
She often communicates with her mother by phone.
② 作及物动词时, 意思是 “传达,传递”。其常用搭配是：
communicate sth. to sb. “把...传达/传递给某人”
People now communicate greetings to each other by
email or mobile phone.
现在人们通常使用电子邮件或手机传递问候.
2) secondly adv. “第二；其次”
辨析： second和secondly
second用作序数词或形容词, 意为 “第二”, 常修饰名词。
secondly是副词, 意为 “其次,第二”, 常用来修饰整个句子。如：
First, it’s very expensive. Secondly, it’s ugly.
首先，它很贵。其次，它很难看 。
The second day of a week is Monday.
一周的第二天是星期一。

I agree with his advice because more communication can make family members understand each other better and know about the feelings they have.
I don’t agree with his advice. The parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is disrespectful. They may feel that children should not comment on the behavior of their seniors.
How shoud we get on well with your family
First, listen to each other.
Then, open your mind.
Next, voice your true feelings.
Finally, equal to each other.
F a m i l y
A good relation depends on good communication.
