Student A: What kind of conflicts do you get into with your parents?

Student B: Well, I don’t like the way my mum keeps telling me what to do all the time. What should I do?

Student A: I think you should talk to her and explain how you feel. You should also show her that you are responsible and mature.

Student B: Thanks, I’ll try. How about you and your parents?

Student A: My dad is always comparing me with Lan, the girl living next door. He says that Lan is more studious than me, and helps her parents with the household chores.

Student B: Perhaps you should make friends with Lan if your parents like her!
