is,

worries
melt
away
once
here.

In
this
unit,
you
are
going
to:
Read
a
magazine
article
about
relationship
between
teenagers
and
their
parents.
Write
a
letter
of
advice
on
parent-child
tensions;
Read
a
short
story
of
a
mother’s
love
for
her
children
Create
a
short
play
about
parent-child
relationships
Parents
often
give
their
children
unconditional
love.
Read
the
poem
below
and
discuss
the
following
questions
in
pairs.
Morning
and
night,
Mother
Bird
is
there
Until
her
baby’s
old
enough
to
leave
the
nest.
Mother
Bird,
with
all
her
love
and
care,
Longs
to
provide
her
baby
with
the
best.
Often
,she
worries,
from
day
to
day-
Very
soon
her
baby
will
be
full-grown.
Excitedly,
it
will
jump
away,
Spread
its
wings
and
fly
alone
Yet,
she
knows,
she
must
let
it
fly
Over
the
hills
and
across
the
sky,
Under
her
careful,
watching
eye.
1.How
would
you
describe
Mother
Bird’s
feelings
in
the
poem?
2.
Can
you
think
of
any
Chinese
poems
about
parents’
love
for
their
children?
3.
How
do
you
think
your
parents
feel
about
you?
How
can
you
tell?
1.
There
is
a
skeleton
in
every
house.
2.
Be
it
ever
so
humble,
there
is
no
place
like
home
3.
We
never
know
the
love
of
the
parents
until
we
become
parents
ourselves.
4.
The
family
harmony
is
the
happiest
thing.
5.
A
mother’s
voice
is
the
most
beautiful
sound
in
the
world.
6.
The
happy
families
are
all
similar;
the
unfortunate
families
have
misfortunes
of
each’s
7.
Where
we
love
is
home-
home
that
our
feet
may
leave,
but
not
our
hearts.
8.
Maternal
love
is
the
greatest
power
in
the
world.
9.
From
your
parents
you
learn
love
and
laughter
and
how
to
put
one
foot
before
the
other.
10.
Father’s
grace
is
higher
than
mountain’s;
mother’s
grace
is
deeper
than
sea’s.
11.
A
father’s
love
can
be
compared
to
a
mountain.
Although
we
do
not
look
at
it
every
day,
when
you
fall
down,
it’s
just
behind
you.
12.
Home
is
the
place
where,
when
you
have
to
go
there,
it
has
to
take
you
in.

Frost

Home
is
where
the
heart
is.
-
Elbert
Hubbard
14.
A
comfortable
house
is
a
great
source
of
happiness.
It
ranks
immediately
after
health
and
a
good
conscience.

Where
parents
do
too
much
for
their
children,
the
children
will
not
do
much
for
themselves.
-Elbert
Hubbard
家家有本难念的经。
今窝,银窝,不如自家的草窝。
不养儿不知父母恩。
家庭和睦是最幸福的事情。
世界上有一种最美丽的声音,那便是母亲的呼唤。
幸福的家庭都是相似的,不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。
家是我们所爱的地方,双脚可以离开,心却不能。
母爱是世间最伟大的力量。
你从父母那里学会爱,学会笑,学会怎么走路。
父恩比山高,母恩比海深。
父爱像一座高山。虽然我们不必每天仰望,可是跌倒时,山就在背后。
家就是这样的地方,当你去时,它得接纳你。

-罗伯特·弗罗斯特
家就是心所在的地方。
-阿尔伯特·哈伯德
一个舒适的家园是幸福的主要来源,它仅次于健康和一颗善良的心。
西德尼·史密斯
父母为孩子做得过多,孩子就愈不亲自动手。
-阿尔伯特·哈伯德
One
night
when
my
wife
was
preparing
dinner,
our
little
son
took
a
piece
of
paper
to
her
which
read:
For
washing
the
car
$
5.00
For
making
my
own
bed
this
week
$
1.00
For
going
to
the
grocery
store
$
0.50
For
playing
with
my
little
sister
$
0.25
For
taking
out
the
rubbish
$
1.00
For
getting
a
good
report
card
$
5.00
And
for
sweeping
the
common
corridor(走廊)
$
2.00
Total
$
14.75
His
mother
looked
at
him
standing
there
expecting
payment.
I
could
see
a
thousand
memories
flashed
through
her
mind.
So
she
picked
up
the
pen
and
turned
the
paper
over.
This
was
what
she
wrote:
For
9
months
I
carried
you,
growing
inside
me
No
charge
For
the
nights
I
sat
up
with
you,
mothered
you
No
charge
For
the
toys,
food
and
clothes
and
wiping
your
nose
No
charge
When
you
add
it
all
up,
the
full
cost
of
my
love
No
charge
Well,
when
he
finished
reading,
he
had
great
big
tears
in
his
eyes.
He
looked
at
his
mother
and
said,
“Mummy,
I
love
you.”
Then
he
took
the
pen
and
in
great
big
letters
wrote
on
the
“bill”
“All
paid.”
Song
of
the
Paring
Son
-By
Meng
Jiao
From
the
threads
a
mother’s
hand
weaves,
A
gown
for
parting
son
is
made.
Sewn
stitch
by
stitch
before
he
leaves,
For
fear
his
return
might
be
delayed.
Such
kindness
as
young
grass
receives
From
the
warm
sun
can’t
be
repaid.
《游子吟》
-孟郊
慈母手中线,游子身上衣。
临时密密缝,意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。
