to grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the
earth. It"s not very easy to be a good father, but it"s not that difficult either. Children will truly enjoy
spending time with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults.
Not all children communicate well with their fathers. Communication is often left to mothers, while
fathers dispense advice as and when necessary. Don"t expect all conversations to center around the
dinner table. Go to your children"s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their
friends. Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided. When your children open up to you,
you also need to open up to them.
If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the
matter And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don"t voice your
opinion. It may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough. So don"t wave the topic
away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things. Simply discussing their problems with
them will help them feel better.
Don"t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children"s love lives. Generally speaking,
your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you. Try to let them know that
you are relaxed about topics on love. ell your children how you met your wife. It is perfectly normal
for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic
closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you. All they
will do is turn to their friends.
B. great
C. serious
D. strong
B. talking with children around the dinner table is unnecessary
C.it is better for fathers to communicate more with their children
D. mothers should communicate less with their children.
B. express your opinion
C .keep silent
D. let them alone
B. personal
C. strange
D. serious
To: "The Shoe People" inquiries@shoepeople.com From: "John Trimbald" jtconstruction@img.com <> To Whom it May Concern, I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots, the soles(鞋底) began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty(担保). The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund. Thank you, John Trimbald, Foreman, JT Construction | |||
To: John Trimbald" jtconstruction@img.com From: "The Shoe People" <inquiries@shoepeople.com>" Dear Mr. Trimbald, Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots. A representative will be by your office next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew. Along with five new pairs of workboots for your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year"s supply of spray(喷雾). In our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated floors. This should have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order (received by telephone on October 12, 2007). Please excuse our oversight. To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year. Sincerely, Stan Mason, President | |||
