Стр.19 Модуль 1 ГДЗ Starlight Баранова 6 класс
Read an extract from an email from Nina’s English pen friend Jenny. What problem does she have? What advice would you give her?
My mum is always complaining those days. She says that I don’t help out enough around the house. I like helping my parents and I feel that I often help with the shopping and I do the dishes but I have so much homework these days. What can I do?
a) Now read Nina’s reply.
To: Jenny
From: Nina
Subject: Your problemHi Jenny,
1 I am sorry to hear that you’re having problems with your parents. However, you shouldn’t be so upset and I think I can help.
2 The best thing you can do is to talk about this with your parents. This way, you can explain how you feel and help them understand that you don’t have much time for housework these days. Maybe they don’t know that you have so much homework. I think you should make a list of chores that you have time to do and tell your parents you can do them. Then, your parents will know that you are doing your best.
3 I really hope my advice helps. Write back and tell me what happens.
Love,

Hi Matt,
I’m sorry to hear that your big sister is so noisy. I think I can help you.
Why don’t you talk to your sister and explain how you feel? This way, she will realise that there is a problem and will try to be quieter. You should also agree on a house rule, like “no noise between 7 pm and 9 pm”. Then, you will know that you can always study after this time.
