Earning your parents’ trust

Listen and read (Nghe và đọc)

Bài nghe:

Nam: Mai, why don't you answer your phone? It keeps ringing.

Mai: It’s my mum who's calling me again. She wants me to contact her from time to time while I’m out.

Nam: My parents usec to be like that. They thought I didn’t have the confidence to deal with difficult situations.

Mark: I had the same experience. It was earning my parents’ trust that took a long time. But I managed to convince them that I'm responsible when I’m out and about.

Mai: It’s my parents who still think I don’t have the skills to be independent. I'm not good at managing my time or money, but I’m independent at home - I can cook, clean the house, and do my laundry!

Nam: That’s a good star! I use a time-management app to plan my weekly schedule including all my activities and responsibilities. Would you like me to help you install it?

Mai: That'd be great. Thanks, Nam.

Mark: I use a money-management app. It’s the app that taught me how to be responsible with money.

Mai: Mark, can you show it to me?

Mark: No problem. My parents also encourage me to take part-time jobs and pay me for doing certain chores around the house.

Mai: Lucky you!
