Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions
Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions
Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want.
Do you agree
While-reading
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!
While-reading
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.” 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 se-
rious about running. It’s the only thing I’ve ever
wanted to do.”
While-reading
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.
While-reading
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.”
