What do you argue about at home? We asked three students and their parents.
你们在家争吵什么事情?我们问了问三名学生和他们的父母。
Andy: My mum and I argue about homework a lot. If I finish my school work early, she adds more exercises. And she won't let me use the computer on my own. She won't let me enter the password myself. I'm not a little boy anymore.
安迪:我和我妈妈为作业争吵很多。如果我早早地完成了作业,她会给我加更多的习题。而且她不让我独自使用电脑。我不让我自己输密码。我已经不再是个小男孩了。
Susan: I'm proud of Andy. He's a sweet, smart child, and he often gets praise from his teachers. But he's a bit lazy so I have to be strict with him. I set a password on the computer so he can't use it freely or spend too much time on it.
苏珊:我为安迪感到骄傲。他是个乖巧聪明的孩子,而且经常获得老师的表扬。但是他有些懒,所以我不得不对他严格要求。我在电脑上设置了密码,这样他就不能随意用电脑了,也不会在电脑上花太多时间了。
Jessica: I love my mum but we argue a lot. She says I'm always late and she says my phone bill is too high! I know she cares about me but I think she sometimes acts like she's my boss. This causes problems between us.
杰西卡:我爱我的妈妈,但是我们总争吵。她说我总是回家很晚,她还说我的电话费用太高了!我知道她关心我,但是我觉得她有时候表现得就像是我的老板一样。这就造成了我们之间的问题。
Karen: Jessica makes friends easily. She's very popular among her classmates. But she has too many friends, and she spends hours on the phone! I'm not sure if these are the "right" friends for her. I let her go out on weekends but she often comes back late. She hasn't grown up yet.
凯伦:杰西卡很容易交朋友。她在同学中很受欢迎。但是她的朋友太多了,而且她花好几个小时打电话!我不确定这些朋友对她来说是不是益友。我周末让她外出,但是她总是回来很晚。她还没有长大。
Edward: My dad's pretty cool. I can have friends come over to our house any time. We never argue except when he makes me clean my room. He often says my room is in a mess and things are dirty, but I don't think so I like the way it is.
爱德华:我爸爸非常酷。我任何时候都可以邀请朋友来我们家玩。我们从来不争吵,除了他让我打扫房间的时候。他经常说我的房间一团糟,东西都很脏。但是我不这么认为。我喜欢这个样子。
George: I let Edward bring friends home whenever he wants. He can be messy sometimes. He never makes his bed and he hates tidying his room. He thinks he can find things more easily if they're lying around.
乔治:无论什么时候我都让乔治带朋友回家,只要他想。他有时候会一团糟。他从不铺床,他不喜欢打扫他的房间。他觉得东西到处摊着他找起来更方便。
