My mum keeps a notebook of my grades in every exam. She asks my teachers how I'm doing at school whenever she can. It seems as if my grades are the most important thing in her life. When we're at home, she keeps pressing me to study all the time. I do as she says, but she is never happy with my grades. Why can't she leave me alone I want to take a break once in a while. I want to listen to music or go out with my friends. Is that too much to ask for — Rebecca
Rebecca’s problem:
She _______ hard as her _______ wishes, but her mother pays too much _________ to her ________.
works
mother
attention
grades
I'm eager for my parents' love. They're always busy at work. I hardly ever see them during the week because they don't get home until late at night. I tell them that I'm stressed about schoolwork, but neither of them show any concern. Sometimes I feel quite lonely at home. When was the last time we had a family outing at the weekend When was the last time we had a long talk How can parents not care about their children — Simon
Simon’s problem:
He is _______ and ________ for parents’ love, but they
are always _______ and spend _______ time with him.
lonely
eager
busy
little
Everyone says that youth is a time for adventure, but my parents disagree. I spend most of my spare time at home, because they hardly ever let me go out with my friends. When I do go out, they always ask, "Where are you going " "Who are you going with " "What are you going to do " "When will you be back " They're always on my back about something.
I understand that they're trying to protect me from getting hurt. However, just as a baby kangaroo must learn to protect itself when it leaves its mother's pocket, I will have to learn to protect myself when I grow up. I wish they could be more flexible so that I can make my own choices about what to do in my spare time. — Laura
Laura’s problem:
She desires _________, but her parents ________ her too much.
adventure
protect

How can you improve your writing
Dear Laura,
I understand your feelings. Sometimes parents can become overprotective —after all, it is their job to protect their child from harm. But don't be unhappy.
Try these pieces of advice and see if they help. First, tell your parents what you think about their protective behaviour. Tell them you fully understand their love for you, but explain the side effects of their overprotectiveness. They may change their mind after they learn about your feelings. Second, show your parents how responsible you can be. Make it clear when you need their help and when you don't. For example, tell them that they need not worry about you when you go out with friends during the daytime. But if you want to go out in the evening, assure them that you will be home before, say, 9 o'clock.
I hope you will find my advice helpful. I wish you all the best.
Yours,
Cynthia

2. What Chinese poems about parents’ love for their children

There is a Chinese poem called “Youziyin” (Song of the Parting Son), written by Meng Jiao. It also describes a mother’s deep love for her son, who is leaving home.
The poem goes like this:
A thread in one hand of the loving mother,
A dress of the parting son in the other.
She sews stitch by stitch: his departure’s near,
For fear that he won’t be home in many a year.

To well reward the loving mother’s heart
