Step 2 Reading
1 Read the first letter and answer:
A Why does the father write the letter?B What does the father think about his son?
C What is the father worrying about?
2 Work in groups of 4 and find suggestions to the son.Try to be a docile kid at home no matter whether you are an outstanding student at school.
Never attempt to change your father’s character and to be an ideal father.Communicate with your father through letters if he happens to be short-tempered. Come up to your dad and tell him how much you care about him.Remember that it’s correct for a father to urge his son to study hard.Make your father believe you’ll be successful in life by doing what you like.
Read the second letter and answer:
a Why does the son write the letter?b What are his problems?c How does he feel about his father?
4 Work in groups of 4 and find suggestions to the father.
Try to look at things from your son’s angle. If you trade your role with your son, I believe you will realize some of the problems you mentioned in your letter are easy to solve. Remember what your son needs is more than material comfort. Prepare to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Music are part of a young people’s life. You can’t stop him just because good communication will smooth the problems. Your son wants you to treat him as your equal while you act as a commander. That’s where all the problems come from. You’d better not put too much pressure on your son. Be a good motivator. Try to encourage him to find myself, to build up self-confidence. Cut out harsh remarks when your son falls short of your expectation.
Unconditional love is very important, because he is your son.
