Valuable advice to the son
From the teacher
Dear students,
Growing up can be difficult, which is always
full of pains. Because of the generation gap(代沟), you may have some misunderstanding with your parents. However, you should not always oppose(反对) them but to enjoy their love and respect them. This is the attitude you should take.
Always remember there is no one in the world who will love you more than your parents. So express your love to them and try your best to work hard to repay(回报)them. You will be glad to see your father or mother’s big smile.
Good Luck! My students!
