Audio Script

Part 1

Tom: You look upset, Linda. What's the matter?

Linda: Nothing serious. Just my parents keep complaining about my clothes.

Tom: Why don't they like them?

Linda: They think my trousers are too skinny and my tops are too tight. They don't like my

sparkling clothes or high heels. They want me to wear more casual stuff such as jeans and T-

shirts.

Tom: Well, it depends on where you're going. If you're going to a party, you could dress up, but

1 don't think you should wear flashy clothes every day.

Linda: But I really want to look more elegant and fashionable.

Tom: Well, have you thought about the cost? Perhaps your parents can't afford to buy expensive

clothes.

Linda: Maybe you're right. What about you? Do you get into conflict with your parents?

Tom: Not really. But they forbid me to play computer games.

Linda: Sounds bad. What's wrong with computer games?

Tom: They think ail computer games are useless. They want me to use my computer for more

useful stuff.

Linda: But there are some positive benefits of playing computer sanies.

Tom: Yes, there are. I can read faster because I can concentrate more. Playing computer games

after school also helps me to relax after a hard day.

Linda: But your parents may worrv about your eyesight if you look at the computer screen for a

long time.

Tom: Yes. they probably worry about it, and want me to have a healthier lifestyle with more

outdoor activities.

Linda: That's right, I think you need to tell your parents that you atiree with them, and explain

the benefits of computer games

Tom: That's a good idea. I hope my parents understand that. Thank you.

Linda: No problem. Thanks for your advice, too.

Part 2

During the teenage years, it is at times difficult for parents to talk to their children.

Teenagers often seem to hate being questioned. They seem unwilling to talk about their work at

school. This is a normal psychological development at this age. Although it can be hard for

parents to understand, it is part of becoming independent. Teenagers are trying to be adults

while they are still growing up. Young people often dislike talking if they realise that parents

are trying to check up on them. Parents should find ways to talk to their teenage children about

school, work and future plans, but should not push them to talk if they don't want to. Parents

should also watch for danger signs. For example, some teenagers in trying to be adults may

experiment with alcohol, drugs or smoking. It is necessary for parents to watch for any signs

of different behaviour, which may be connected with these dangers and offer help if necessary.
