Question

Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions?

Many teenagers have hobbies. But sometimes these can ______ the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school. Teenagers often think they should ______ to practice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?

Liu Yu, a ______ boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is ______ 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 ______ his dreams," says Mr. Liu. "My wife and I have supported _____  of his races. We have nothing against ______ ! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. He's getting older now, so he needs to think about what ______ if he doesn't end up as a professional runner."

Liu Yu doesn't ______ agree. "Well, I think they should allow me to decide for myself." He says. "My parents have always told me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I'm serious about running. It's the only thing ______ I've ever wanted to do."

His parents believe that he needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star. But Liu Yu still disagrees. "I know my parents care about me. But I think I should make this choice myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream."
