2 Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up. However, his parents won’t allow him to train so much.

so much.
“Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,” says Mr. Liu. “And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I have supported every
one of his races. We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs
to think about other possible jobs. He’s getting older now, so he needs to think
about what will happen if he doesn’t end up as a professional runner.
Let’s read the second part of Paragraph 2.

3 Liu Yu doesn’t really agree. “Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,” he says. “My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”
Let’s read Paragraph 3.

4. His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don’t allow him to practice running at night. “Maybe he thinks it’s too strict or unfair,” says Mrs. Liu. “But we think we’re doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star.”

5 But Liu Yu still disagrees. “I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what will happen if I don’t succeed. But I will ! I’m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”
Let’s read Paragraph 5.
Liu Yu’s opinions:
◆ Does Liu Yu agree his parents’ ideas
He knows his parents care about him.
They have supported every one of his races.
He should be allowed to make this choice himself.
◆ Why does he think he should be allowed to make his own decision
Let’s role play.
Imagine you are Liu Yu, a reporter is interviewing you.
A reporter: Hello, Liu Yu. I’m a reporter from Teen Magazine. May I ask you some questions
Liu Yu:
A reporter: I know you are serious about…. And you want to ….when….
What’s the problem in your family
Liu Yu: My parents don’t allow me…. They have always taught me….
A reporter: They think your hobby can get…. And your parents worry about….
Liu Yu: I understand them. They told me it was difficult to…. But it’s the only thing…
Why shouldn’t I be allowed to make my own decisions
A reporter: Don’t make decisions just for yourself, but for your life.
Liu Yu: What should I do
A reporter: Talk more and listen more. Make yourself understood and try to understand.
Let’s think.
Should he be allowed to make your own decisions Maybe the answer isn’t so easy.
Parents
Children
Try to help children not just push them.
Better communicationhelp.
Parents know best.
His dream may not be realistic(不现实的)
and he may regret it in future(今后) if he does not study hard now.
Don’t make decisions just for yourself, but for your life.
Talk more and listen more. Make yourself understood and try to understand.
