▲Task 3. Writing example [学法建议:阅读以下作文,根据所学划分其结构,并在文章右边写出它的优点] Dear Sir or Madam, I don’t really agree with what parents are saying about after-school classes because they only want to have successful children. Although some parents are right about the importance of learning at a young age, I think children should be allowed to be children and have a carefree(无忧无虑的) childhood. In my opinion, it is important for parents not to push their children too hard. I believe it is better if parents try to really understand their children’s interests and abilities first so that they will not make their children take classes that are not suitable(合适的) for them. For me, in order to develop my independence and responsibility(责任感), my parents let me decide what classes I want to take. I like piano and I wan to be a pianist in the future. So I have had piano lessons since I was six. I keep on playing the piano no matter how hard it is. Now, I’m really good at playing the piano and I feel so proud of myself when I play it in public(公众)。 Perhaps parents could let their children decide for themselves if they want to have any after-school classes. If children are allowed to take the classes they choose for themselves, they will benefit more from these classes. They will grow up to be not only successful in their own way but happy too. Yours truly, Li Hua

Teenagers feel that their parents don't understand them, while parents think their children are too young to make decisions. This can lead to misunderstandings and arguments. For example, Li Hua, a middle school student, often feels stressed because of his heavy homework and sometimes argues with his friends. He tries to talk to his parents about his feelings, but they always say, "You're too young to understand these things." Li Hua feels upset and thinks his parents don't care about his feelings. However, Li Hua's teacher, Mr. Zhang, notices his problem and gives him some advice. "Why don't you try to explain your feelings to your parents more clearly " Mr. Zhang suggests. "Maybe they just don't know how you feel." Li Hua decides to follow his teacher's advice. He sits down with his parents and talks openly about his feelings. His parents listen carefully and realize they need to understand him better. They promise to be more patient and to listen more. 21.What problem do teenagers and parents often have A.
