, your dad … Rosemary: No. Not really. Not where we live it isn39。 t. I don39。 t live in the City Center or anything like that. And Christine39。 s house is in a very quiet part. Tessa: Christine. That39。 s your friend, is it? Rosemary: Yeah. That39。 s right. I mean, I know my dad gets worried but it39。 s perfectly safe. Maurice: Rosemary. Have you talked about this with your dad? Rosemary: No. He just shouts and then he says he won39。 t let me go out at all if I can39。 t e home on time. Maurice: Why don39。 t you just try to sit down quietly with your dad — sometime when he39。 s relaxed and just have a quiet chat about it? He39。 ll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn39。 t always safe for young girls to go out at night. Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to e and pick you up from Christine39。 s house once or twice. Rosemary: Yes. I don39。 t think he39。 ll agree to that, but I39。 ll talk to him about it. Thanks. 第三部分 1. Discipline needs to be there in a certain amount but too much of it can be a bad thing I think and I certainly do get too much of it occasionally. 2. I think talking to them, trying to explain why you39。 re upset, what it is they have done wrong is better than hitting them, because if you hit them they learn to hit other things, other people, you, and I don39。 t think that is a solution to anything. 3. My experience as, as, as a mother now is you can, you can talk with a child very much and, and the child is going to understand much more than you believe, even if it is a oneyearold or twoyearsold child. And I think it39。 s um it39。 s a very bad thing punishing children, because it remains being er an awfully er dark experience, and so it was it for me too, because when I39。 m thinking about my parents I can39。 t help thinking about these days where they punished me. 4. I wouldn39。 t be as strict as my dad was, definitely not, cos I don39。 t think that works. That only makes you rebel. 5. Well, there39。 s smacking and smacking. I don39。 t at all agree with beating a child, but I do think sometimes a quick, short smack on the hand or arm is better than a long drawnout moan. It39。 s quick and the child understands it. 6. I can39。 t really defend it when I, when I hit my child, I don39。 t do it often but something about it makes me think that it39。 s not … a terrible thing to do. I mean, what are the alternatives? You can shout at your child, you can try to sit down and reason with your child, which is incredibly difficult if you39。 re trying to talk to a twoyearold. Or what else can you do? You can send them out of the room, you can send them up to their room, you can not let them … have any pudding for the dinner, or something, but I mean to me a little spank, to me it39。 s quick, it39。 s honest, it39。 s physical, but having said all that I still try not to do it. 第五部分 Louisa: She doesn39。 t let me watch that much TV after school, which is really annoying because most of my friends watch Home and Away and Neighbors but I only get to watch one of them. I sometimes don39。 t — I mean I think that39。 s really unfair so sometimes I just watch both anyway. Mother: First and foremost, Louisa watches a fair amount of television whether she thinks she39。 s deprived or not, she must watch at least 45 minutes per day. And when I39。 m not around you know I know the child sneaks in a fair amount more than that. So she gets in a fair amount of television, certainly on the weekends. But I am of the opinion that television, very very very few programs will teach them anything. And I think when a child is under your care for 18 years it39。 s the parents39。 responsibility to make sure that the input is of value, and I don39。 t think television, much television is of any value at all, I think reading a book and doing her piano lessons are far more valuable than watching crummy American soap operas. Questions for memory test: 1. How many TV plays are mentioned? 2. For how long a time does Louisa watch TV per day? 3. Does Louisa try to get more time to watch TV? 4. Which activities does Louisa39。 s mother think are far more valuable? My parents gave me a lot of free time. After dinner, during the week when I was say even 15 years old they would let me go out until ten o39。 clock and they would never ask where I went. I would smoke cigarettes and drink beer, at 15 years old I would hang out in the ... in the local pubs and these were type of things that I don39。 t think were too good for me at that time. I think my parents should have, you know, maybe at least showed an interest as to where I was going. They never even asked where I was going and they, they gave me a lot of free time, and I think that they, they felt that this was a thing that was being a good parent. But I think that teenagers are very naive, and I was as a teenager very naive, and I think I could have used a little more direction from them. These days a lot of parents think they should be lenient with their children, they should let them grow and experience on their own. And I think that39。 s what my parents were doing, I think there39。 s a Biblical saying Spare the rod, spoil the child and I think that really applies. And I think you need to direct especially young people. They can be thrown into such a harsh world, especially if you live in a city. I lived in a very small village and it was still a rough crowd that I found in that village. And my parents never asked questions, and if they only knew they would be shocked. State ments: 1. When the boy was 15 years old, he could stay out until ten o39。 clock. 2. At the age of 15, the boy was not allowed to smoke cigarettes or drink beer. 3. The boy thought his parents were very good because they gave him a lot of free time. 4. The boy lived in a very crowded city. 第三单元 第一部分 House agent: … r。
