my

parents.

In

fact,

are

like

friends.

much I love her. Probably I would return home as soon as I can.

I don

’

t think it is wise to refuse parents

’

advice or even do the opposite

without a good reason. Your parents care about you more than anybody else and

always

want

to

share

their

experience

with

you.

If

you

follow

their

advice,

you

can at least learn from their experience and avoid making some silly mistakes

if

you

don

take

their

advice,

you

may

still

get

experience-but

in

a

hard

way.

Besides, your parents may directly point out our weaknesses that your peers

wouldn

so,

listening

to

your

parents

advice

can

make

you

smarter

and

help

you grow mature.

Good

communication

will,

in

my

view,

help

build

a

good

relationship

the

following

are my ways to strengthen communication with my parents:

. visit them whenever possible;

. invite them to see what I am doing at college;

. teach them to use new communication tools, such as WeChat and Skype, so that

they can communicate with me wherever I am;

. try to look at things from their perspectives; and

. share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions.

Although there is no standard pattern for a good parent-child relationship ,

some common factors can contribute to a more successful relationship:

. respect each other;

. support and encourage each other;

. understand each other;

. have fun together; and

. be friends.

Yes,

many

parents

are

expecting

to

much

of

their

children.

First,

most

families

have

only

one

child

and

parents

want

to

make

a

perfect

child

out

of

them.

Second,

competition

is

intense

in

school

and

at

work

today.

So

parents

want

their

children

to

learn

as

much

as

possible

so

as

to

gain

advantages

over

others

in

competition.

It

’

s not uncommon that some parents force their children to achieve what is

even hard for adults. But they ignore the fact that winning is not the only

important

thing

and

that

children

should

have

their

own

enjoyment

and

preferences.

No, I don

’

t think parents today are expecting too much of their children.

Competition is becoming increasingly intense in school and at the workplace.

So it is natural for parents to help their children to make full use of their

talent and become as competitive as possible. They know better about how far

their children can go. Besides, more and more parents, including my parents,

think

it

is

more

important

for

their

children

to

be

healthy

and

happy.

Of

course,

while

they

expect

that

their

children

study

hard

and

achieve

success,

they

should

at the same time see to it that their children are not overworking themselves.
