What do you argue about at home? We asked three students and their parents.
你們在家爭吵什么事情?我們問了問三名學生和他們的父母。
Andy: My mum and I argue about homework a lot. If I finish my school work early, she adds more exercises. And she won't let me use the computer on my own. She won't let me enter the password myself. I'm not a little boy anymore.
安迪:我和我媽媽為作業爭吵很多。如果我早早地完成了作業,她會給我加更多的習題。而且她不讓我獨自使用電腦。我不讓我自己輸密碼。我已經不再是個小男孩了。
Susan: I'm proud of Andy. He's a sweet, smart child, and he often gets praise from his teachers. But he's a bit lazy so I have to be strict with him. I set a password on the computer so he can't use it freely or spend too much time on it.
蘇珊:我為安迪感到驕傲。他是個乖巧聰明的孩子,而且經常獲得老師的表揚。但是他有些懶,所以我不得不對他嚴格要求。我在電腦上設置了密碼,這樣他就不能隨意用電腦了,也不會在電腦上花太多時間了。
Jessica: I love my mum but we argue a lot. She says I'm always late and she says my phone bill is too high! I know she cares about me but I think she sometimes acts like she's my boss. This causes problems between us.
杰西卡:我愛我的媽媽,但是我們總爭吵。她說我總是回家很晚,她還說我的電話費用太高了!我知道她關心我,但是我覺得她有時候表現得就像是我的老板一樣。這就造成了我們之間的問題。
Karen: Jessica makes friends easily. She's very popular among her classmates. But she has too many friends, and she spends hours on the phone! I'm not sure if these are the "right" friends for her. I let her go out on weekends but she often comes back late. She hasn't grown up yet.
凱倫:杰西卡很容易交朋友。她在同學中很受歡迎。但是她的朋友太多了,而且她花好幾個小時打電話!我不確定這些朋友對她來說是不是益友。我周末讓她外出,但是她總是回來很晚。她還沒有長大。
Edward: My dad's pretty cool. I can have friends come over to our house any time. We never argue except when he makes me clean my room. He often says my room is in a mess and things are dirty, but I don't think so I like the way it is.
愛德華:我爸爸非??帷N胰魏螘r候都可以邀請朋友來我們家玩。我們從來不爭吵,除了他讓我打掃房間的時候。他經常說我的房間一團糟,東西都很臟。但是我不這么認為。我喜歡這個樣子。
George: I let Edward bring friends home whenever he wants. He can be messy sometimes. He never makes his bed and he hates tidying his room. He thinks he can find things more easily if they're lying around.
喬治:無論什么時候我都讓喬治帶朋友回家,只要他想。他有時候會一團糟。他從不鋪床,他不喜歡打掃他的房間。他覺得東西到處攤著他找起來更方便。
