I. Listen and choose.

A: Betty, you look worried. What’s wrong with you?

B: Well, I love music, but my mother doesn’t allow me to listen to it.

A: Why not?

B: Because she thinks listening to music is not good for my studies.

A: I don’t agree. I also love music. It makes me relaxed and helps me study better.

B: Right. Music brings me much, too. But how can I solve my problem? Can you give me some advice, Jim? 

A: Why not talk with your mother?

B: I don’t often talk with her. We often argue.

A: I think communicating with each other is a better way. You can have a good talk with your mother. 

B: OK, I’ll try. Thanks for your advice.
