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.
host: so what is the new situation like?
christina: i am surprised by how much fun we have when we're together. i think of mum as a friend again.
mum: i'm very happy to be on ‘talk time’. i hope our example can help other families that have the same problem as we used to have.

do you agree with mums working?
today we had a discussion about working mums. the opinions were divided. sixty-five percent of the students were for the idea of working mums. they stated the following arguments. first, mums have the right to work. second, working mums not only bring in more money, but they can also feel proud of their success in work. third, working mums are good for society.
however, thirty-five per cent of the students were against mums working. they argued that mums do not have to work outside the home. if they do, there will be no one around to do the housework, like cooking the meals or cleaning the house. it is too expensive to hire a maid to do the work.
personally, i think it is up to the mums to decide what they want to be: a working mum or a housewife.
