Host: Welcome to 'Talk time'. This is George. Tell me your name and problem?
Caller 1: My name is Christina and I'm calling about my mum. She cries all the time and says we don't spend time together and that I don't love her. I do love her, but I also have things I want to do in my own life. How can I still have fun with my friends and let my Mom know I love her?
Host: You and your mum aren't talking enough. Surprise your mum with a day spent together, invite her to join you doing the things you like. That way you can have fun and see your mum at the same time! Good luck, Christina! Hello, next caller, how can I help you?
Caller2: It's my best friend. He's started playing on our school football team and now he never has time to see me. I feel quite lonely.
Host: Sometimes friends have different interests as they grow up. You should find a sport or hobby of your own. Then you won't feel lonely any more! And, what's your name?
Caller 2: Patrick.
Host: And Patrick, if your friend is a real friend, he'll still want to see you. He's just busy right now. I'm sure it will work out fine. Bye! Next caller please ...
Caller 3: Hello? Is this 'Talk time'?
Host: It is. What is your name and what can we help you with?
Caller 3: I'm Richard and the problem is my father. He wants me to study Maths and Science, and work in a big company when I grow up, but I want to be an actor. How can I tell him without making him angry?
Host: That is hard, but I'm sure he won't mind it if you take acting lessons, as long as you agree to keep your marks up in Maths and Science too. Go talk to him now, okay? Bye!
Caller 4: Hello, 'Talk time?' This is Jane. I called last week, about my grandma.
Host: Yes, Jane, you wanted to tell her that you want to live with your other grandparents, right?
Caller4: Yes, I took your advice and told her how I feel. You were right. She understood! Thanks so much!
Host: Glad to help! Who is my next caller?
Caller 5: Hi, my name is Shirlev and my problem is only a small one. My mum bought me some new clothes, which cost a lot of money, but I don't like what she got me. Should I tell her I don't like what she bought?
Host: Shirley, you should be honest with your mum, but make sure she knows how happy you are that she thought of you and was nice enough to buy you your new clothes. I'm sure she won't mind if you change them for something different. Goodbye and good luck. We've got time for one more cal1.
Caller 6: My father always shouts at me. He says, 'William, turn off that TV and go outside! But there is nothing I want to do outside! How can I make him stop shouting at me?'
Host: Well, you probably won't like my answer, but you shouldn't spend too much time watching TV. It isn't good for your eyes. Join a sports team so that you have a chance to be outside. You'll feel better and your father will stop shouting at you. Thanks for calling in! Listen to 'Talk time' again next week at this time.
