Section B
1c Listen and check (√) the problems Wei Ming talks about.
Alice, help me! My parents are giving me too much pressure about school!
Hey, Wei Ming. Although you may be unhappy with your parents, you should talk to them.
Ask them why they give you so much pressure.
It's because they want me to get good grades.
But life shouldn't just be about grades.
Free time activities like sports and hanging out with friends are important, too.
I totally agree. I need more free time to do activities I enjoy.
This can help me relax and be healthier.
Yes, you won't get good grades if you're stressed out all the time.
I also keep worrying about getting better grades than my classmates.
Oh, you shouldn't compete with your classmates to get better grades.
You should all be helping each other to improve.
You're right. Thanks for all the good advice, Alice.
