Step 4: Post-reading

1. Do you think Eric and Daniel will explain to their parents what has happened? Or will the parents go and ask the two children what has happened?

Suppose you were one of the two children. What would you do? Would you stay silent or would you offer an explanation to your parents? Which is a better solution in your opinion?

2. Talk about your own experiences since these kinds of family problems exist in almost every family.

▲How do your parents usually deal with your wrong-doings? Are they too harsh?

▲Have they ever punished or scolded you for your being late when it wasn't your fault?

▲How do you think good parents should treat their children? Should parents respect their children and value their opinions?

▲What qualities or personalities do you think the ideal parents should possess?

3. Focus on Part F, which is designed for you to practise your spoken English with topics closely related to your familiar family problems.

▲Do you think you have a good relationship with your parents? Why do you sometimes quarrel with them?
