[00:24.84]Letter1 Dear Pamela,
[00:29.33]My danghter plays her music very loudly.
[00:33.65]When I ask her to turn it down,
[00:36.32]she gets angry and she doesn't listen to me.
[00:40.67]She says that she has to listen to music
[00:44.09]when she's studying.I know she enjoys music
[00:49.47]but I don't think she should listen to it
[00:51.56]while she's studying.She gets angry with me
[00:55.83]when I ask her to turn the music down.
[00:59.08]I feel that I don't know my daughter anymore.
[01:02.87]There's a generation gap between us
[01:06.17]and I'm sad about this.Sincerely,Sad Mother
[01:13.44]Dear Sad Mother,I don't think your daughter
[01:17.43]should play her music loudly if it disturbs you
[01:21.69]At the same time,I can understand
[01:24.37]why she enjoys listening to loud music.
[01:27.74]I think all teenagers like loud music!
[01:31.87]Perhaps you cold say to her
[01:33.85]that she can play loud music
[01:36.17]when you're not in the house.
[01:38.74]Explain to her that it really disturbs you
[01:42.13]and she mustn't play it when you're at home.
[01:46.27]As for listening to music when she's studying,
[01:49.65]I think you should allow her to do that
[01:52.16]as long as she gets good results at school.
[01:55.70]You can stop her listening to music
[01:57.67]if she doesn't do well at school.
[02:00.32]Good luck!Sincerely,Problem Page Pamela
