Zahrah: I like it very much, and it is a good color for a queen, your Majesty. (She folds up the silk and puts it to one side. )

Dear Dr. Green,
My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now. It seems she's never tired of talking. She talks here and there day and night. More seriously, I feel like we don't have much in common. She doesn't always understand what I'm trying to say. What should I do?
Yours,
Jim
Dear Jim,
I know how you feel. It's not easy being your age. And it's not easy being a mother, either.
It's common for kids to have trouble talking with parents, and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers. But remember, she's nagging (唠叨) you because she just wants what's best for you. Talking is her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day's work, she's tired too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids should learn to understand and care about parents.
In my opinion, it's helpful to share school life with her. Then, you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about the things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.
Yours,
Dr. Green

Dear Dr. Green,
My relationship with my mother is worse and worse now. It seems she's never tired of talking. She talks here and there day and night. More seriously, I feel like we don't have much in common. She doesn't always understand what I'm trying to say. What should I do?
Yours,
Jim
Dear Jim,
I know how you feel. It's not easy being your age. And it's not easy being a mother, either.
It's common for kids to have trouble talking with parents, and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers. But remember, she's nagging (唠叨) you because she just wants what's best for you. Talking is her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day's work, she's tired too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids should learn to understand and care about parents.
In my opinion, it's helpful to share school life with her. Then, you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about the things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.
Yours,
Dr. Green

I'm glad to hear that you are coming to Beijing. Let me tell you something about it.
I think the most beautiful scenic spot in Beijing is the Great Wall. It's the longest wall in the world. You can not only enjoy the beautiful views but also learn about Chinese history and culture. Taking photos there is a great idea. Besides, you can go to Joy City Shopping Mall. It's one of the biggest shopping malls in Beijing. You can buy some good things at a good price. In the end, remember to taste the food in Quanjude. It has the most delicious food-Beijing Roast Duck. You will never forget it.
I hope you will have a good time in Beijing.
Yours,
Cheng Yi
