Question

Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.

But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material(物质) things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean”? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident(自信的) in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.

So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.

1.In whose eyes are we little children?

2.What do most parents want to get from their children?

3.What do the children really want?

4.What can we get from a true family?

5.What do you think parents should do to make their children understand them more? (自拟一句作答)

Answer

1.In their parents’ eyes.

2.They want their children to get good result in the exams./Good results in the exams.

3.A true family.

4.Warmth, consolation and happiness.

5.They should talk with their children./They should communicate with their children more often.
