(T= Tim S=Mr Smith)
T: Hello,Mr Smith. I’m somewhat annoyed with myself recently. I think I need some help.
S: Hi,Tim! Come and sit down. I’d like to listen to your problem and see what I can do.
T: I’m ashamed to admit that I really struggle with myself about playing mobile games. When I sit down to study,I often intend to start by playing mobile games for a few minutes and once I do so,I cannot stop. After a while,I notice the time passing quickly and this makes me feel guilty. But the next day,everything goes the same. It’s awful.
S: That’s completely normal among teenagers,even among adults,and it’s perfectly understandable. So,don’t feel down. To have the courage to acknowledge this is already a sign of maturity.
T: Thank you,but what can I do to stop it
S: Firstly,I would like to recommend studying in a library. This is because the library usually has good studying atmosphere,which will help you concentrate on your work.
T: That’s a really good idea. Seeing other students working hard will encourage me to work hard,too. But I won’t always be able to study in the library,so what should I do when I’m at home
S: When you’re at home,you can ask your mum or dad to help monitor you and make sure that you are working for two hours after school every day. And I’m sure your parents would be happy to help you.
T: Yes,I agree. But what should I do when they aren’t at home though
S: Good question! This is where you need to adopt self-control and goal setting. Set a clear goal for every studying period. By assigning yourself a goal,you will know what you have to finish by the end of the time. And when you want to pick up your phone,keep telling yourself to hold on for another ten minutes until finally you reach your goal.
T: Thanks,Mr Smith. I think your advice is helpful. I’ll have a try.

When you repay a bad behaviour with the same bad behaviour, it’ll only lead to something worse.
They could ignore the bad behaviour or explain that they don’t like it.
Peace cannot be kept by force;
it can only be achieved through understanding.
