3a
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

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.

一直，始终
Do you agree or disagree with Mr. Hunt’s advice Why
3b
Agree:
The 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. Th e 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.
Disagree:
His parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is being disrespectful.
Th ey may feel that children should not comment on the behavior of their seniors.
