3.What advice does Susan Luo give

Suggested answers:
1.Worried Friend is worried that his or her friend,Chen Lei,plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
2.Perhaps Chen Lei is anxious because he spends too much time online and can't focus on other things in life. He is unhealthy because he is addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life.
3.She recommends that Worried Friend talk to Chen Lei and encourage him to try new hobbies.
4.She is friendly,considerate,helpful and responsible because she gives useful and practical advice.
Activity 2 Reading for thinking.
Work in groups and talk about the questions.
1. Do you think Ms Luo's advice is useful Why or why not

（設計意圖：培養學生的發散性思維，鼓勵學生發表自己的看法，提升學生的語言組織和展示能力。）
Suggested answers:
1.Perhaps the advice is useful,because it is always good to talk to a friend about his or her problem and offer advice.
2.I would tell Chen Lei that he should spend his time more productively with an eye on his future. For example,instead of playing computer games,he could learn computer programming. Who knows He might become a great figure in that field when he's old.

Step Ill Writing a letter
Activity 1 Preparations for writing.
1.Read through the three situations on page 19 in the textbook. Sum up the problers and talk about the possible suggestions and reasons.
Person Problem Suggestion Reason
Eric
Xu Ting
Min Ho
2. Choose one situation to write about.
（設計意圖：幫助學生概括青少年面臨的三種常見問題，通過小組活動打開思路，就不同問題提出建議并說明理由。）
Suggested answers:
Person Problem Suggestion Reason
Eric unhappy or upset, with little communication with his parents Maybe they don't listen to you because you don't listen to them. This will give you a chance to speak to them without distractions.
Xu Ting lonely,with her parents far away Connectwith yourparents online. This will give you a chance to be around other people,and help you realise that other people have problems,too. Just because they are far away, it doesn't mean that you can't talk to them.
Min Ho too shy to express his feeling introduce you to her. Find chances to get together in groups where she is a group member. Your friend will be able to help you break the ice with her and provide encouragement for you. If you are in a group, it takes all the pressure off,and you can interact with her in a relaxing setting.
Activity 2 Writing a letter of advice.
（設計意圖：此環節的寫作提綱給學生提供腳手架，讓學生寫作有章可循。）
Suggested answer:
10 September 2023
Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand how you feel. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live far away from their parents.
I think you can try joining a volunteer group that helps other people. This will give you a chance to meet and be around others. It will also help you realise that you are not alone in having problems, too. HHelping other people also makes us feel better. You can also connect with your parents online. Just because your parents are far away,it doesn't mean you can't talk to them. I'm sure that you'll make new friends and get a chance to speak to your parents more often. This will help drive away your loneliness.
Best wishes,
Susan Luo

Step IV Homework
Read through the passage on page 75 in the textbook.Choose one of the questions and then write a letter of advice.Suggested answer:
10 September 2023
Dear Mum in Yunnan,
You wrote that your daughter is only 14 and wants to study abroad. I understand your worry that she is too young to go overseas by herself. Have you thought of taking her on a family trip overseas
This will give her a safe chance to see and experience a foreign country. There are also some international high schools in China. She could go to one of these and gain some experience by interacting with foreign students and teachers close to home. I'm sure that with some work and creativity,you can find a way that will please both of you.
Talking Teens
Best wishes,
