Most Chinese parents have great expectations of their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams that their parents failed to achieve when they were young.
In my opinion, there are two sides to parents' expectations. The expectations can encourage children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends largely on his or her parents' expectations. However, unrealistic(不切实际的)expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts ad hobbies. Parents' expectations can take children's freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them by their grades.
My parents' expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams and ambitions. I keep working hard, though my parents do not force me to do so. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble
In a word, I think parents' expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, give them enough freedom. Parents must ensure their expectations of their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence.

A lot of people have asked me lately how I manage so many WeChat groups. I'll share a few of the secrets for it. Presently, I have more than 6, 200 people who subscribe(订阅)to my public account and at least 10, 000 in various groups. Some of them are my groups. Others are English language learning groups where I've been invited to share my free English lessons.
First, managing groups is really about managing people. The people who are connected with me are highly targeted for my lessons. They either joined one of my groups or they are in my Friends List. People have chosen to connect with me because they want to improve their English.
Second, I’m very slow at adding someone to a group. I let them connect to my public account (公众号)first. If people promote some kind of business, product or service, I don't want them in my groups. They’ll only cause me trouble. I delete(删除)them from my Friends' Circle quickly and make them disappear.
Third, if I don't want someone advertising in my group, I need to set rules for my group. I think putting ads in groups is the least effective way of promoting or advertising. I have two choices when someone breaks my rules. I can warm them. If they apologize, I will give them a second chance. If they don', kick them out of my group. It isn’t worth time to argue with them.
