Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 9 класс, Дрофа:
2 Read the text and do the tasks below:
When I was as old as my daughter is now, my parents were not happy with my behaviour. I argued with them, ignored their orders and didntaskt appreciate their care. Now I sec how wrong I was; they wished me only good. Now I have a teenage daughter myself. I think that the main thing with teenagers is not to overcontrol their lives and not to take care of them too much. It sounds strange, doesntaskt it? But I mean that parents shouldntaskt check if their childrentasks schoolbags have been packed or their school uniforms are clean and tidy. I never tell my daughter Sarah that she shouldntaskt drop her school blazer in the corridor and or that she should go to bed on time. I accept that she can plan her day and can keep her school uniform wherever she likes: on the floor or under the bed or in her own schoolhag. But she should look tidy at school and shouldntaskt make a fuss in the morning if she is late and her dress doesntaskt look right.
I dontaskt support the idea of prohibiting something without a good reason. Last month Sarah declared that she was grown up enough to arrange home parties for her friends. I didntaskt object to it but explained to Sarah that her responsibility was not only to make up the list of the guests but to manage the whole event: to arrange the time that fits the plans of the family, to think about snacks and drinks beforehand, to make up a scenario for the party and to find time to tidy up the flat before and after the party. I asked her to make up a kind of a business plan for the event and if everything was OK, there was really no reason to prohibit it, was there?
Sarah put off the party several times. She did it. not because I didntaskt let her invite the friends, but because she, herself, couldntaskt prepare everything on time. She acted like a grown-up, not a naughty demanding child.
Itaskm sure that my tactic works with my daughter. She understands now why I dontaskt allow her certain things. She sees the reason behind it instead of as a parenttasks wish to treat her as a child. She often asks for my advice and appreciates it when I give it to her. In her turn, she tries to support me in difficult situations. She understands that ittasks not easy to be adult and independent and to manage life as best you can.
