A
I had the meanest(最刻薄的)mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal(谷类食物)and eggs. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But_at_least_I_wasn't_alone.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were.
We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes days.
We had to be in bed by 9: 00 pm and up at 8: 00 am. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make beds and learn to cook. I am sure she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.
My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. I am trying to raise my children like this. I will feel proud when my children call me mean, because, you see, I am so glad I had the meanest mother in the whole world.

Mom and Dad—they're two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they influence you more than anyone else you meet.
Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they're born. It's a parent's job to love and help kids—and most parents will do this as long as they live, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship.
Spend time together. Don't play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, play a game, or read a book out loud. Try to spend more time together.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they'd like their parents to help them when they're unhappy. Tell them if you're sad or have a problem. They'll be happy to help you.
Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent's day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It's also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It's important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting(尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.
Do your best at whatever you do. You don't have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you're turning into such a great kid. Why Because it lets them know you're doing a good job.

In different countries around the world, most children must start schooling at early ages.And they become “adults” at different ages.Being an adult means having the right to do certain things, such as getting a parttime job, voting (投票), getting married, or getting a driving license.
In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age when a person becomes an adult.Young men and women at this age can get a parttime job, and begin to receive an income of their own.They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time.In Canada and America, sixteen is the age when one can get a driving license; in England, it is seventeen.
There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights.Getting a parttime job means that you have to pay income tax.Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules like buying car insurance.
Voting is another right that young people enjoy when they become adults.In the United States, Canada and Britain, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen.With this right also comes responsibility.For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics work.

Now I'm studying in the US,I find there are some differences between schools in the US and in Vietnam(越南).
One big difference is the clothes students wear at school and how they look.In my country,all the students should wear uniforms when they go to school.Boys aren't allowed to have long hair.Girls aren't allowed to have long or colored nails (指甲).
Another difference is about the rules for parents.In Vietnam,when we begin a new year,our parents have to go to a meeting in our class.If they don't go to that meeting,their children won't have grade or a report card from school.
However,in the US,there aren't such strict rules above.
In Vietnam,a class is only 45 minutes and we have only five classes each weekday.When the bell rings,all the students just sit in their classroom.They can't move to a different room,but students can in the US.
In Vietnam,students can't go to work because they can't find a job if they're under 18.But in the US,many students work after school.This helps them make money.More importantly,this helps them become more independent.They're able to do things by themselves in their own way,without asking other people for help.

When you want to ask your teacher a question during class,what do you do Do you simply shout out your question as soon as it enters your mind Or do you raise your hand and wait until the teacher calls your name
If you politely raise your hand first, it's probably because your teacher has a rule that regulates (规定) what you are allowed to do when you have a question. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone could simply talk whenever they wanted during class Do you think learning would take place Instead of a peaceful learning environment, a classroom without rules would be chaotic (混乱的)!
When you learn to drive,you'll realize how many rules you have to follow. You can't go as fast as you want at any time in any place. You can't park your car anywhere you want to. You're not allowed to drive a car if you are under 18 years old!
The rules for driving share a common purpose (目的) with many rules you must follow in your daily life to keep you safe. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “No_rules,no_standards.” If you make a list of the rules you follow each day, you will quickly realize how many of them can keep you safe and make your life more enjoyable as a result.
Although sometimes you feel like a rule is unjust (不公平的), don't break it. Instead, decide what you can do to try to change the rule. Working within the rules to change the rules is what you need to do.
