“I don't like my parents.They always tell me I should do this,and should not do that.It sometimes makes me angry,”said Zhang Hua,a middle school student in Guangzhou.Do you have the same problem?Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago.Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?
One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent,he/she likes worrying about things.They worry about everything about you from the time you were born.They do a lot for you,though something would make you angry,because they care about you and worry about you.They worry about your choice of friends,food you eat,your work at school,how much sleep you get,etc.All these things are part of your life.They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself?It's easier than you think.Just make sure your parents know what you're doing.Get them to know your friends.Phone them if you stay somewhere else late so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for you.Say sorry to them when you make mistakes.Take responsibility(责任)for what you have done.Talk about your ideas with them.They may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all,try to think about why your parents do this or do that.They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them.Some day,when you become a parent,they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children.

‘USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?’ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担)to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
