have the same list if you are given a chance to complain about your parents? what advice will you give to the father or the boy if you are an advice columnist?1. ask the students to work in groups of four and find suggestions to the son: sample answers: try to be a docile kid at home no matter whether you are an outstanding student at school.never attempt to change your fathers 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 its correct for a father to urge his son to study hard.make your father believe youll be successful in life by doing what you like.2. ask the students to work in groups of 4 and find suggestions to the father: sample answers: try to look at things from your sons 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.prepare to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. music is part of a young peoples life. you cant 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. thats where all the problems come from.remember what your son needs is more than material comfort.youd better not put too much pressure on your son. be a good motivator.try to encourage him to find himself, 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. step 6 self-readinggive the students some time to read and understand the two letters by themselves. if they have some problems, ask them to discuss these problems with their partners or put them forward later to discuss with the whole class. learning to ask questions while reading is very important for students to develop their reading ability. if necessary, teachers can offer them some help. step 7
