b. We usually go to Grandma’s for Christmas. We have a big family and it can be really stressful. There are lots
of people, and lots of noise and then Mum always argues with Uncle Brad. Every year!
It’s a stressful time and people are forced to live closely with lots of others. This is not the way that people

Sitting at the meal table, playing a computer game – anything that people usually do on their own and

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.
