假如你是某杂志社编辑Mr. Knowledgeable,根据中学生 Bob的来信内容，给他写封回信，帮助解决他所遇到的问题。字数80—100，开头已给出。
Dear Knowledgeable,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my family. My parents always say “no” to my ideas without any reason. So I often quarrel(吵架) with them. Also, my brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead, he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home, I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?
Bob
Dear Bob,
Knowledgeable

Things are going great in Cannes(戛纳), France. I have an exciting experience here. I have only been here at the film festival for two days, but I have already seen four films. When the films are not on, I like to go to watch the fashionable people on the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars hanging out at the festival yesterday. However, I was too nervous to talk to them.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, about twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or(金棕榈奖). The films are from all over the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa…
There are also so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film making business. For someone who loves films, this is heaven(天堂)!
If you come to the festival, the following suggestions will be helpful. First, you’ll need to remember to bring your invitation, because you cannot watch any of the films without one.
Second, you’ll need to bring some nice clothes. During the day everyone walks around in T-shirts and shorts. But in the evening, everyone has to wear formal(正式的) clothes. I am wearing a long dress all the time!
A. 根据短文内容简要回答问题。
1. What did the writer do at the film festival?
