[06:14.73]I tried to read books on it,but I was so bored.
[06:20.68]What should I do?I respect my fater's judgement and experience,
[06:27.63]but I don't think he understands me.Best wishes,May
[06:34.19]Letter 2
[06:37.74]Dear May,I am sorry that you have a disagreement with your father.
[06:43.91]Personally,I think it is important to follow your interests and your abilities,
[06:50.67]and it sounds as though you have plenty of both of these already.
[06:56.73]Speak to your father and tell him that you are already doing well
[07:02.61]in the subject of your choice.
[07:06.27]If you like,remind him that many women have chosen to work in fields
[07:12.82]that were not used to accepting women.
[07:17.68]You can point out that Florence Nightingale opened up nursing
[07:23.25]and that Madame Curie opened up sciences to women.
[07:28.42]Ask your father to speak to your teachers
[07:32.55]and find out how good you already are at your chosen subject.
[07:38.11]Trust yourself,trust your own thinking and your choice of subject.
[07:44.77]Best wishes, Abby
[07:48.32]Letter 3
[07:51.17]Dear Abby,I have got some wonderful news to tell you.
[07:56.94]I have been offered a scholarship at a university in Australia
[08:02.30]for my further education.
[08:05.96]One hundred and twnty-five students took exams for it,
[08:11.60]and I was one of the five to be chosen.
[08:15.75]However,my parents are trying to prevent me from going.
[08:21.63]They say that it is too far away,
[08:25.89]that they will not see me for a whole year and that I shall be lonely.
[08:31.74]They are advising me to study in the capital instead.
[08:36.49]Then I will be able to continue living at home.
[08:40.75]How can I persuade them that I shall be all right?
[08:45.32]Best wishes,Joan
[08:48.85]Letter 4
[08:51.59]Dear Joan,Congratulations on your good news!
[08:57.47]You must have done well to have achieved this success.
[09:02.51]I think it is important to understand the relations between parents and their children.
[09:09.07]They spend time,energy and money in bringing up children
[09:14.71]and providing them with what they need.
[09:18.58]Then,as with young birds,the time comes for the young to leave.
[09:24.64]As we say,the day must come when the young are"grown and flown".
[09:30.88]Although parents may feel sad at this moment,
[09:35.74]it is not right that their feelings should decide the movements of their children.
[09:42.11]So,celebrate your success,and invite your parents to celebrate with you,
[09:49.56]however hard it may be for them.
[09:53.40]If you continue to be excited about your future,
[09:58.26]you may come to educate your parents in the same way.
[10:03.12]Best wishes,Abby
