Anybody here? I have a 15-year-old daughter. She is lovely and clever. I love her very much. But she likes playing computer games very much. Once she gets home, she does nothing but plays computer. No homework, no rest. When I talk to her, she says nothing to me! When I turn off the computer, she will be angry with me! Oh, dear! What shall I do? P.S. Do you have troubles with your child? Let’s share them here. |

It’s really hard to stop the teens from playing computer games. Luckily, my son doesn’t like playing computer games. He is a good student at school. He studies hard and gets good grades in the tests. But I want him to learn about piano or art because it’s very important for a child to learn things outside school. He just doesn’t understand that. He only does what the teacher asks him to do. |

For me, it’s too bad to have twin daughters. They are only 6. They look the same, go to the same school. But they act totally differently. One is quiet and friendly to people around her. The other is very naughty. She often makes others annoyed. And they always argue at home. They can’t watch TV together and they want to have the same doll. They don’t know what share means. |

Reading is an activity that people enjoy a lot in their free time. Some like reading newspapers, and others enjoy novels or comic books. I like reading about the lives of great people. This always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my own life better.
