_______65  Dear Molly,

I have a problem. My parents are always talking to me about studying. They want me to study harder so I can go to a good school. I know studying is very important, but my parents put too much pressure on me. How can I explain to my parents that I need some free time?

_______ 66  Dear Molly,

My best friend Tony is a nice young man, but he has a bad habit. He is always late. No matter where he is going to, what he is doing, he is never on time. Once he turned up thirty minutes late for a meeting! What can I do to break him of this bad habit?

_______ 67  Dear Molly,

I have a new roommate named Louis. He is a good friend of mine, but he is driving me crazy because he is very untidy. He leaves his dirty clothes everywhere, and he never makes his bed. I am extremely neat. What can I do?

_______68  Dear Molly, 

My cousin plays computer games a lot and he keeps on talking to me about various games. I don’t have any interest at all, but I find it difficult to stop him without hurting his feelings. Would you kindly give me some advice?

A  Dear xx,

      As I see it, you have three choices. You can find a new flat for yourself, make him find a new one, or have a talk with him and see if you could both be a little less extreme in your attitudes towards housekeeping. I would suggest you start with the third.

B  Dear xx,

     You could try talking to him about the importance of being on time. If it doesn’t work, one trick you can try is to ask him to set his clock 15 minutes ahead. You could also tell him that something starts 15 minutes or more before it really starts.

C  Dear xx,

      This is a common problem for people of your age. Tell your parents how you feel. Let them know you respect them. Maybe you can make a deal with them. For example, ask them for one day off each week to do what you want to do.

D  Dear xx,

    Next time when he begins talking, you might interrupt him with a smile, saying “That’s interesting, but I hope you understand this is my time to relax. I need to do some reading now.” He may sense your unwillingness and stop talking.

E  Dear xx,

      “Be yourself ” is the best solution. If I were you, I’d tell him to leave me alone. At least tell him, “That was hurtful. Please don’t say things like that to me. I’m a football fan and like watching football games. I can make my own decision.”

BEIJING, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Following is the full text of the speech given by International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics here on Friday night:

Mr. President of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Liu Qi, members of the Organizing Committee, dear Chinese friends, dear athletes:
