Answers
1 It’s a stressful time and people are forced to live closely with lots of others. This is not the way that people
live for the rest of the year.
2 Sitting at the meal table, playing a computer game – anything that people usually do on their own and
don’t need to wait for someone else, or someone else to interfere with them.
3 Talk to relatives throughout the year – not just once a year. Allow people to go off and do their own thing.
Have a flexible schedule and give different people different responsibilities for different things.
4 Young people do need them to stay in touch with their friends, and that isn’t something that older generations
did. But young people should also be respectful and so it’s a good idea to agree on when mobile phones
can be used.
