[00:49.76]1.Dear Auntied Wang:

[00:52.40]My friend studies too hard.

[00:54.44]His homework is always completed on time

[00:57.00]but he never has any time for fun.

[00:59.27]Also,he is always tired.

[01:01.62]I like him very much

[01:03.37]and I am worried

[01:04.63]because he has fewer and fewer friends.

[01:07.19]What should I do?

[01:08.65]2.Dear Auntie Wang:

[01:12.20]I was told by my parents

[01:13.87]that I must go to university.

[01:15.91]I don't want to go to university!

[01:17.95]I would rather be a farmer like my uncle.

[01:20.51]Do I have a choice or

[01:21.97]must I do as my parents say?

[01:24.32]3.Dear Auntie Wang:

[01:27.48]I don't like it when I am compared to my classmates.

[01:30.44]My parents and my teachers often do this.

[01:33.49]They say things like,

[01:35.03]'You should try to be more like her'

[01:37.18]or 'wouldn't you like to be as clever as him?'

[01:40.05]They never say anything good about me.

[01:42.19]Don't they know that I'm good at some things,too?

[01:44.75]4.Dear Auntie Wang,

[01:48.54]I have always wanted a pet cat

[01:50.68]but I have never been allowed to have one.

[01:52.72]My parents think that our home is too small

[01:55.57]and that keeping a cat is too much trouble.

[01:58.02]Can I do anything to change their minds?

[02:00.48]5.Dear Auntie Wang,

[02:04.45]I know that it's not good to tell a lie

[02:06.90]but I saw my best friend take someone's bicycle last week.

[02:10.35]It had been left outside his house.

[02:12.70]He was seen by other people,too.

[02:14.87]Maybe he has been reported to the police!

[02:17.33]What should I say if someone asks me about it?

[02:20.17]a)Dear Reader,

[02:23.33]Your ideas for the future

[02:24.98]should be discussed with your parents.

[02:27.33]If you want,

[02:28.69]you could talk to either your teachers or your uncle,too.

[02:31.88]Also,you ought to find out more about

[02:34.72]the skills you will need to be a farmer.

[02:37.00]Some of these skills might be learned 3 at university.

[02:40.05]b)Dear Reader,

[02:43.11]You are right.

[02:44.36]It is never good to tell a lie.

[02:46.64]The bicycle must be returned.

[02:48.88]Tell your friend that you will not lie for her or him.

[02:52.15]Your bicycle might be taken next!

[02:54.50]c)Dear Reader,

[02:57.84]At home,you should do as you are told.

[03:00.19]You have been told 'no'.

[03:02.05]You ought not to ask again.

[03:03.90]Why much you have a cat?

[03:05.65]A cat shouldn't be left alone all day.

[03:08.21]Have you thought about asking your parents

[03:10.25]for either a pet bird or a pet mouse?

[03:12.91]d)Dear Reader,

[03:16.86]Your friend may be a good student,

[03:19.21]but he may also be rather unhealthy.

[03:21.77]A healthy body is important for a happy mind.

[03:24.72]You ought to invite your friend to go with you on long walks.

　　[03:27.88]Your homework can be discussed while you walk.

[03:30.65]e)Dear Reader,

[03:33.50]Try not to mind too much when you are compared to others.

[03:36.84]Think about why your parents do this.

[03:39.30]Your parents love you very much.

[03:41.65]Why not tell them more about yourself

[03:43.69]and the things you do well?

[04:03.38]Xu Li:Welcome to the programme.

[04:05.05]Today,Auntie Wang is here with us to answer your questions.

[04:08.71]Your first questions is about blind people.

[04:11.95]One listener has been told that blind people

[04:14.82]can hear better than other people.

[04:16.97]Auntie Wang,is this true?

[04:20.13]Good listening skills are very useful for blind people,

[04:23.39]but they don't hear better than other people.

[04:25.64]They just try to understand more.

[04:27.68]Xu Li:What about deaf people?

[04:29.43]It's been said that deaf people can do most things

[04:32.59]more easily than blind people.

[04:34.73]Deaf people can do most things without any help.

[04:37.68]However,blind people often need help

[04:40.63]when they go to new places

[04:42.10]or do new things.

[04:43.77]Xu Li:OK.The next question is about old people.

[04:47.32]One listener's grandmother has been told

[04:49.78]that she should dance and play sports.

[04:52.34]Shouldn't old people be quiet

[04:54.19]and not do too many things?

[04:56.46]Wang:Oh no!No one thinks that now!

[04:59.52]Everyone needs exercise.

[05:01.56]The listener's grandmother should dance if she wants to.

[05:04.82]She will be healthier and happier if she does.

[05:08.06]Xu Li:The last question is about languages.

[05:10.52]it easier for older people

[05:12.79]or younger peopler

[05:14.25]to learn new languages?

[05:16.29]Wang:It's been proved that new languages

[05:20.26]are learned more easily by children.

[05:22.51]It's more difficult

[05:24.36]for older people to learn languages.

[05:26.92]Xu Li:Thank you Auntie Wang for coming today.

[05:29.38]I'm sure all our listeners 7 have learned a great deal.

[05:32.54]Wang:It was a pleasure.

[05:33.79]Thank you for inviting 8 me,Xu Li.
