Task 2. ★ Read the two letters and put the paragraphs in the second letter in the correct order.
_ Dear Anabel
A. I hope my advice helps you. Just try to understand that in most cases acne is only temporary.
B. I was sorry to hear you feel this way, but I think that I can help you.
C. You should visit a doctor to find out the cause of your acne. Sometimes people get acne because of poor diet or because they aren’t getting the right vitamins or minerals. It would be a good idea to change your eating habits. This can dramatically improve the situation. Sometimes stress causes acne. Have you thought about doing more sports and activities to help you relax? This will help you feel better.
Take care, Anni

1. The best thing about spending time with your family is a heart-to-heart talk and making every member feel like a part of something special.
2. The worst thing is when parents let their children do whatever they want. Besides, parents shouldn't yell at the kids or beat them.
3. I don't think that parents should be strict with their children, but it's a difficult question... It all depends on a child's character. I believe that parents should raise their children with love more that strictness.
4. I think that parents should be friends with kids. Parents and children should respect each other and care about and trust each other. But this friendship should not mean “nobody is in charge”. There should be some rules and standards and it is up to parents to be older and wiser.
