A: that would be great if you can make me feel better. what do you think about my children
are grown up but they don't either visit home or write to me.

they are very busy from their work. So sometime they will forget to visit or to talk with their
parents. But if they forget it, then you just call them and ask for their reasons.
A: Do you mean if they forget to visit home because they very busy from work or they have
to do something, I will call them and talk about their lives recently?
B. Yes, that really what I mean. Because, From my perspective, family is a place to return
from the messy life out there and you can reply on them.
A: I absolutely agree with you. And to me, Family is someone who is willing to be there all
the time, no matter the situation, good or bad, they always be there when you need. Family
means having someone to love you unconditionally in spite of your shortcomings. Family
also is loving and supporting one another even when it’s not easy to do so.
B: I couldn't agree with you more. Family is whoever I can depend on for support, to laugh
with, to play with, and to share the challenges and rewards of life with. So let's think about
this problems more positively, it will make you feel better. And that’s all what i can do for
you.
A: Thanks a lot for your advice. I really appreciate it. See you later, bye!
