Answers

Christina: That is true. You see, I joined a sports team. I met many new friends and we enjoyed spending weekends doing sports. So I didn't have much time to spend with my parent.

Mum: Because of this, I missed the time when we talked together. Host: When did the problem start and how did you both feel then?

Mum: This happened soon after she entered high school last summer. Sometimes I felt so lonely that I even cried.

Christina: I love my parents. But at that time I felt they didn't understand me and they seemed to do boring things. When Mum told me that she was sad and missed me because I didn't spend enough time together with them, I didn't know what I should do.

Host: What did you do then?

Christina: I listen to the radio ‘Talk time’ show every week. I know you can help people by giving them some advice. So I called you and asked for your advice. Mum: Yes, my daughter told me about your suggestion. Host: So what did you do to fix your problem?

Christina: We have decided to do one thing together every week.

Mum: Yes. We first cooked a special dinner for our family together. Christina has learned how to cook and enjoys it very much. Once I took my daughter and her friends to a restaurant for dinner.

Christina: We often take a long walk, and we talk a lot while walking.
