6月後半課題添削 (6/30日までにご応募ください)
新聞やインターネットのAdvice columns(人生相談)は、人気のコーナーです。 今回、あなたは、"Friendly
Ear"(コーナーの専門家)で、相談者の悩みに答えます。 寄せられた、以下のa)〜c)の3つの相談うち1つを選び、解決のためのアドバイスを書いてください。
a) Dear Friendly Ear,
I live in a fairly old apartment complex. The walls are quite
thin and you can hear the water running in the next apartment. I've
gotten used to a bit of noise and I do my best to be quiet as I
can. Recently, someone new moved in next door. He's a really nice
guy. Unfortunately, he's really noisy. He works strange hours and
I often hear him playing music or watching TV in the middle of the
night. He often apologizes for it when I see him during the day,
but he keeps on doing it. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Very Sleepy
b) Dear Friendly Ear,
I work in the office of a small company. There are four people
in the sales department and I'm one of them. I work very hard to
bring a lot of business to my company. Because of this, my boss
has very high expectations. I don't mind, but when we have a slow
month my boss tends to blame me. I think it's unfair because even
in a bad month, I sell twice as much as the other salespeople. What
can I do about it?
Regards,
Overworked
c) Dear Friendly Ear,
My mother-in-law is driving me crazy. She lives in the same neighborhood
and she often drops in uninvited. I could live with the visits if
they were really just visits. They are actually 'inspections' of
my housekeeping skills. If one small thing is out of place, she
lets me know in a very subtle, extremely annoying way. If I tell
my husband, he'll just say I'm imagining things. How can I get her
to butt out of my life?
Sincerely,
Truly Frustrated
