　　What does a Korean father look like? Strict, cold and focused only on his job．Well, yes, this is the popular image(形象)of Korean fathers．However, this image does not tell the whole story．Across the country, more and more fathers are looking for the answer to the question：what does it mean to be a good father today? And they choose to attend Father School．

　　Founded in 1995, Father School began in Seoul(首尔)．It aims to help Korean men show love to their families．Most of the students are from 30 to 70 years old．They are asked to write letters to their kids as homework and to practice saying “I love you” to all family members．

　　Like many students in Father School, Edmond Rhim never wanted to come．“I’m not a bad father,” he said．“But it was just difficult for me to communicate with my two teenage kids．” He began to show up in class, and things got better．When he graduated from the school among 70 other men, he no longer felt awkward(尴尬的)when hugging his wife and kids．

　　Dear Annie,

　　I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing．I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself．But now I know I was wrong．

　　Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess．And that's why I'm writing this letter to you．

　　I have a happy family．I love my children and they love me．I'm a mother of three children．I know well how to bring up(带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me．

　　But now I have a serious problem：the Internet problem．My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now, but he doesn't seem to be interested in it．He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day, He chats with pelple that he has never met before, but speaks little to us．He does lots of useless things on the Internet．And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework．

　　I just want him to be a good student．Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home．I'm afraid he will drop behind in his class soon．His father is a doctor, a very kind man．He never seems to be afraid of his father．

　　What can I do?And don't tell to talk to him．We've tried that and it didn't work．But this is really a big problem in our family．I have tried everything I can think of．I wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的)．You're my last hope．Please tell me what I can do!

Yours,

Ellen Smith
