If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yoursel

f, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky.

If you say to your children "I'm sorry I got angry with you, but...", what follows that "but" can render the apology ineffective: "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior. in expecting an apology.

Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I'm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.

Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying "I'm useless as a parent" does not commit a person lo any specific improvement.

These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.

But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A twelve-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.

If a mother adds "but" to an apology, ______.

A.she doesn't feel that she should have apologized

B.she does not realize that the child has been hurt

C.the child may find the apology easier to accept

D.the child may feel that he owes her an apology

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract?

LORRIE: Yes.I've read it carefully.

JOHN: And do you have any questions?

LORRIE: No.But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week.Will you have that many classes for me right away?

JOHN: No, probably not.For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.

LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month.Will you pay me that much for the first month? Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.

JOHN: I understand.That's why I didn't write the date on the contract.For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach.When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect.Is that alright with you?

LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today.Is that right?

JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs.We are very serious about hiring you.We want you to teach for us.We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.

LORRIE: I can accept that.

JOHN: Good.And your benefits will begin immediately.

LORRIE: Even my health insurance?

JOHN: Yes.We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow.And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.

LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.

JOHN: What would you like to know?

LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members? I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels?

JOHN: Absolutely.The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.

LORRIE: What are bar vouchers?

JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers.The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge.But we don't offer vouchers to employees.

LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.

JOHN: That's fight.So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members.You get more benefits than they do.

LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract.But we won't sign it yet.Is that right?

JOHN: Yes.I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.

LORRIE: I understand.And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job.I look forward to it.

JOHN: I'm very pleased.We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.

听力原文:Interviewer: Could you tell me what you do for a living?

Teacher: Um, I work as a guitar teacher in a number of local schools.

Interviewer: How do you actually begin to teach somebody to play the guitar?

Teacher: Well, I should make it clear first that I teach mainly classical guitar, er, that is playing tunes on the guitar itself rather than just using the guitar to accompany a singer. The most important thing to start with I think is getting people to sit in the correct position, in that you need a small stool to put your left foot on, and then also to make sure that the pupil is holding the guitar correctly and that their hands are in the right position.

Interviewer: Do some people find that difficult though, to get their hands right on the guitar?

Teacher: Yes, yes, er, I think if you said to somebody now play these few notes on a guitar their technique would be all wrong. The things you have to learn don't come naturally at all. They are something you have to learn to do.

Interviewer: Is it easier to teach younger children or easier to teach older children? What's the best age to start learning the guitar?

Teacher: In my experience I think that about 10 or 11 is quite a good age to start; it is possible to start younger; I've had one or two pupils who've started about the age of 7 or 8 and it's been quite successful but not always, There are the usual problems with young children keeping their concentration and practising. No, I would have said about 10 or 11. Adults too are interesting. I think children have an advantage over adults; they're often more physically able; they have more ability in their hands and fingers than adults. For this reason they often find it easier.

Interviewer: Is there anything you find really frustrating about teaching children though?

Teacher: Well, occasionally you come across children who are doing it because their parents want them to do it and they don't want to do it, and that can be a very frustrating situation in that they have got no motivation at all.

Interviewer: But on the whole you enjoy teaching children?

Teacher: Oh yes, yes, I do. I find it very rewarding actually, about 90 percent of the time. I would be less than honest if I said all the time. sometimes when you've got one be- ginner after another, Maybe they haven' t done as much practice as you would want them to, then you find your mind wandering a bit, thinking of all the things you could be doing but it is rewarding and I do enjoy it.

Chris teaches children the guitar ______.

A.in one school

B.privately

C.in his free time

D.in more than one school
