Audio script
Here is the conversation between Tom and Linda discussing their conflicts with their parents.
Tom: You look upset, Linda. What's the matter?
Linda: Nothing serious. Just my parents keep complaining about my clothes.
Tom: Why don't they like them?
Linda: They think my trousers are too skinny (bó sát, ôm sát) and my tops are too tight. They don't like my sparkling clothes or high heels. They want me to wear more casual stuff such as jeans and T- shirts.
Linda: But I really want to look more elegant and fashionable.
Tom: Well, have you thought about the cost? Perhaps your parents can't afford to buy expensive clothes.
Linda: Maybe you're right. What about you? Do you get into conflict with your parents?
Tom: Not really. But they forbid me to play computer games.
Linda: Sounds bad. What's wrong with computer games?
Tom: They think all computer games are useless. They want me to use my computer for more useful stuff.
Linda: But there are some positive benefits of playing computer games.
Tom: Yes, there are. I can read faster because I can concentrate more. Playing computer games after school also helps me to relax after a hard day.
Linda: But your parents may worry about your eyesight if you look at the computer screen for a long time.
Tom: Yes. they probably worry about it, and want me to have a healthier lifestyle with more outdoor activities.
Tom: That's a good idea. I hope my parents understand that. Thank you.
Linda: No problem. Thanks for your advice, too.
