    4. Christine understood very well with their parents

    5. They spend a lot of time in coffee shops, discos or go for a walk in the park

    6. He can be much better to talk to their parents about his work and politics.

    7. Gareth will not have to worry and take his parents as they are. He can also talk to her about the work and politics.

    • Gareth is a very ambitious student and has big plans.
    • He grows a beard in order to rebel against his mother.
    • She has long legs and hair and is a very sympathetic girl that laughs a lot. -> ok.
    • Christine gets along with her parents very well. => (to understand = verstehen, begreifen, kapieren)
    • They spend a lot of time in coffee shops, discos or go for a walk in the park -> ok.
    • He can talk much better to her parents about his work and politics. => So wäre der Satz richtig, ist aber nicht die Antwort auf die Frage; gefragt wird ja, warum er mit ihren Eltern besser sprechen kann als mit seinen eigenen und nicht worüber...
    • She advises him Gareth not to worry and to accept them as/the way they are. He can also talk to them/her (da kenne ich den Zusammenhang nicht) about the work and politics.
