【迷你小對話】
A: I can’t get my son stay in line these days. He keeps on getting trouble at school.
B: Like how? Is he stubborn or lazy?
A: A little of both. He persists in writing his homework longhand, even though the teachers wanted it all typed. He says it is his right.
B: Wicked! You have raised a rebel.
