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 What can I do

Can you give 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.

辨 析
3.offer v.主动提出;自愿给予
If your parents are having problems,you should offer to help.
如果你的父母遇到了问题,你应该主动提供帮助。
offer作动词,意为“主动提出;自愿给予”,常见结构为offer to do sth.“主动提出做某事”;offer sb.sth.或offer sth.to sb.“为某人提供某物”。
若offer所接的直接宾语和间接宾语都为代词,只能用后者,即offer sth.(代词) to sb.(代词)。
辨析provide,give与offer
三个词均有“供给;供应”之意,区别主要在结构上。
(1)provide sth. for sb.=provide sb. with sth.
(2)give sb. sth.=give sth. to sb.
(3)offer强调“主动提供”
offer sb. sth.=offer sth. to sb.
Mr.Ma offered some good ideas to young people.
