My parents wanted me to further study, therefore, I went to college without giving it much thought. I do not like studying. Actually, I dont know what I like and dislike. The question Who am I? still confuses me. It is clear to me that I am not as competent as my friends and classmates. My classmates have better academician and sports performance than me. My elder sister is better looking than me. My cousin is more I cannot remember the last time I talked to my parents peacefully. My parents go home late because of work. When they come home, I am usually in bed.If they happen to come home earlier, they usually find me lying on the sofa with the television on, or surfing the Internet aimlessly. They often complain and nag, which irritates me very much. I once lost my temper and banged the door harshly after their criticism. Since this incident, I have find accustomed to respond to their complaints with a blank face or going back to my room quietly. I think silence is better than quarrels. Pre-assignment preparation (to be completed in class 1) According to your common senses, list out the possible problems of the main character of the scenario (Sammy) and your suggested solutions to the main characters problems.
