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.
“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!
What is Liu Yu’s hobby
what does he want to be when he grow up
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 a professional runner.”
Liu Yu doesn’t really agree.
“My parents have always taught me how important it is- -to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this,
why does his parents disagree him to run all the time
what does liuyu think of his hobby
“Well, I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,” he says.
but I’m serious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”
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.
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.”
