A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.
Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.
Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.
Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.

Longjing tea, it has topped the list of the ten most famous teas in China with its color, taste and shape, is named after its production region—Longjing Village of West Lake.
Thanks for Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the tea has earned a high reputation. The story went that Emperor Qianlong was visited the mountain during his Hangzhou travels, and he saw some ladies picking the tea at the foot of the mountain. He was very interested in their movements that he decided to have a go himself. While picked the tea, he received the news of his mother’s illness, so he carelessly puts the leaves in his sleeve and left Hangzhou for Beijing. He visited his mother immediately upon his arrival in Beijing. His mother smelt the fragrance of the tea leaves from his sleeves and wanted to have taste. After drinking cup of tea, she found herself completely refreshing, and she even praised it as cure for all illnesses. From now on, the tea was listed as the tribute tea (贡茶).
