Dear George,

　 My name is Christina. I called your radio show last　 36　 to ask for your advice about a problem my　 37　 and I had. I wanted to see my friends and do things that interest me, but my mum was sad and said I was not spending enough　 38　 at home with our family.

　 You gave me some good advice. You told me to spend more time　 39　 to my mum. First I thought your answer was silly, but then I decided to　 40　 your advice. You were right. When I was younger, my mum and I talked all the time. And we were very　 41　 . She was like one of my friends. When I grew　 42　 , I stopped talking to her and only wanted to talk with my friends.

　 I didn’t think my mum　 43　 talking with me, but she did! That is why she was sad when I went to see my friends. Now my mum and I　 44　 one day a week with each other. We cook dinner together, or we go for a long walk. Once she even took me and my friends out to dinner　 45　 !

　 Thank you for your help and good advice, George, I’ll keep listening to “Talking time” every week.
