Ⅳ. Read the play and complete the following tasks.
The son played games with his friends after school instead of going to the
Science Club. Dad was cross with him. He was punished* and was not allowed to
go out or play video games with friends for a week.
Scene one
[The clock reads 10 pm. The son is playing video games with friends online
secretly. The noise wakes Dad up.]
Dad:(rushing into the room and turning off the screen) Off! Now! What are you
doing? A deal is a deal! No video games for a week! Do you remember?
Son:Don't be cross with me! I just don't want to take part in the Science Club. I
feel so bad that you never let me do anything on my own. I can't decide on
what to do and what not. I'm not a baby, but you always treat me like one.
Dad:(shouting) I don't think you're a baby, but you are acting like one.
Son:And you're acting worse!
Dad:(taking a deep breath and sitting down next to the son) OK, I don't want
you to feel like a baby. And I don't want you to think I act worse.
Sometimes I just can't help myself. But you know I will always protect you.
Son:I don't need you to protect me. I just want to build my circle of friends and
decide on my way of life.
Dad:Well, I will try to change. But you still need to respect me and to be honest
with me. Let's talk to each other about our thoughts and feelings, okay?
Son:Okay.
Dad:I love you, but when you break the promises, there

are gonna be results. And facing them helps to
make you a young man.
Son:Right. I'm sorry for playing the games without
telling you. And next time, I promise that I will let
you know before having fun with friends.
