My parents don’t allow me to hang out with my friends. allow 作动词，意为“允许，准许”，常用的结构如下： allow sb. to do sth. “允许某人做某事”。 allow doing sth. 意为“允许做某事”。 Language points 老板不允许我在工作时间使用电话。 My boss doesn’t allow me to use the telephone during the working hours. 我们不允许在公共场所吸烟。 We don’t allow smoking in public places. 2. Although she’s wrong, it’s not a big deal. 尽管她做的不对，但没什么大不了的。 (1) big deal 是英语中 的一个固定搭配，表示“重要 的事情或是状况”多用于非正式交流，做否定用时，常说 it’s not a big deal. 或 it is no big deal. 表示说话人并不认为某事有什么大不了的。 There’s a soccer game on TV this evening but I don’t have to watch it. It’s no a big deal. (2) although 意为 “ 尽管 ”,较正式，语气 强 Although he was tired, he went on working. although 引导的从句放在主句前后均可，有时还 放在句中。 He often helps me with my English although he is quite busy. 尽管他相当忙，但是还常常帮我学英语。 although 引导的从句不能与 but, however 连用，但 与 yet, still 连用。 2. Hope things work out. 希望事情会好起来。 这是一种常见的表达法，表示某些不如人意的事情会随着时间的推移逐渐有所改变。句中 Work out 为动词短语，表示“ 解决（问题）；改善（状况） ”之意。 e.g. Don’t worry. Things will work out. 别担心，事情会慢慢解决的。 3. They fight a lot, and I don’t really like it. 他们经常吵架，我真的不喜欢这样。 此处“ fight ” 为“吵架，争吵” Although they just got married, they’re fighting almost every day. fight 另有“打架”之意。 My little brothers are always fighting. As kids, we always fight for toys in the kindergarten, but now we’re pretty good friends. 1. How about _________ (go) shopping with me this afternoon. 2. Why not _______ ( 踢 ) football with me? 3.

It’s the only communication they have. I don’t know if I should say anything to them about this. When they argue, it’s like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. Also, my elder brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do? Sad and Thirteen Dear Sad and Thirteen, It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these feelings. Why don’t you talk about these feelings with your family? If your parents are having problems, you should offer to help. Maybe you could do more jobs around the house so that they have more time for proper communication. Secondly, why don’t you sit down and communicate with your brother? You should explain that you don’t mind him watching TV all the time. However, he should let you watch your favorite show. I hope things will be better for you soon.

So we should always communicate with people more. 3b I disagree with his advice because the parents and elder brother may get even angrier as they may think that the writer is being disrespectful.

However, this doesn’t only happen in China. The Taylors are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy. “On most days after school,” Cathy says, “I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training . Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons. Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities, but I believe these activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful. ” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m. They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework. Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress . “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids? People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.” Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child’s development . Dr. Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.” Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. so that 意为“ 以便 …… ，为了 …… ” ，引导目的状语从句， that 从句中常使用 can / may 等情态动词； so that 还可以表示“ 因此，所以 ”，引导结果状语从句，在 so that 前可以用逗号。 Language points 小男孩节省每一分钱，以便他能够给妈妈在母亲节买一份礼物。 The little boy saved every coin so that he could buy his mother a present on Mother’s Day. 我被骤雨淋了，所以衣服都湿透了。 I was caught in a shower, so that all my clothes got wet. 2.
