Dear Wang Lin,      I think it' s not strange for parents to want to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time. they also don' t want their children to play computer games.      Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It' s never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think of them sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.

Letter One

Dear Editor（编辑）,

　　After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play Internet games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm（伤害）children. Once I went to a net bar（网吧）to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.

Li Ping, Nantong

Letter Two

Dear Li Ping,

　　I think it's not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don't want their children to play computer games.

　　Talk to your parents and be honest（诚实）to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.

Good luck,

Rebecca

　　American boys and girls love to watch TV. Some children spend six hours a day in front of the TV set. Some children even watch TV for eight hours or more on Saturday. Many parents let their children watch only during certain hours（在特定的时间里）.

　　TV shows are like books or films. A child can learn something bad from some of them and something good from others. Some shows help children understand the news from Washington and other parts of the world. Some programs（节目）show people and places from other countries or other times in history. With TV children do not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the sea to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert（音乐会）or a basketball game at home. Some programs even teach children how to cook or how to use tools（工具）.

　　It is fun to watch TV, but it is also interesting to play games, to read a book or to visit friends.
