Rebecca: Oh it's a difficult one. I think I'd try to reason with her and say- I mean I wouldn't say, "You must not ring your friends and your friends must not ring you" because I think that's unfair. What I would say is, "If your friends ring you, can you just keep the conversation a bit shorter so that other people can use the phone?", which seems quite reasonable to me. r Show Host: Nick, what do you think? Nick: I think what I'd do is stop my daughter from answering the phone and0
take one call in the evening from a friend, and if any I- other calls came in we'd inform her friends saying,11 "No, I'm sorry, she's already talked to Angela or Julia or whatever and so she can't talk to anyone else" and take control of it that way. Show Host: Aisha, do you agree with that? Aisha: Not really. I think you should always try and remember what it felt like at that age and actually how important it felt to try and talk to your friends. What I'd do, I think, is really encourage her visit her friends and to have her friends round more so they could actually talk in person rather than on the telephone.
4 Discuss the following questions in groups. • • What parents shouldn't do to be successful? • In their turn teenagers are old enough to realise that adults are not saints and may make mistakes and that the so-called generation gap should not necessarily spoil their relations.

I 5 a) Read what teenagers sometimes say about the points that annoy in their parents.
I love my dad but he has absolutely no sense of rhythm. That wouldn't matter if he didn't insist, even at his advanced age, on dancing at parties and weddings. Worse than this, he once started playing an imaginary guitar in a CD shop. They were playing a track from the latest hit parade which dad recognised. So he started jumping about like a madman. not caring I was standing right beside him. I was shocked and embarrassed. Later he told me that when he was a teenager, he'd been in a band for a few weeks.
Kate Usually my mum is very sweet and tactful, but she has moments when she totally loses her tact and becomes dictatorial. You never know when this will occur. The most recent was when I was innocently watching TV, and she suddenly stood in front of the telly, shouting, "You're not watching this stupid programme, are you? You must have something better to do with your time than that." She went on like this for several minutes. But I was calm and patient with her and after a bit she calmed down again leaving me in front of the telly watching my programme. I think I have learned to avoid conflicts. The main thing is to control yourself.
b) Imagine you are Max or Kate. What would you say to your dad (mum)? Role-play the situations in pairs .
