一、Changes In Our Life
Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example. My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past, but now we call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information, but now we watch the news and other programs on TV.
And I think another big change is in the housing conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with furniture, but now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. In short, changes in our life in the past twenty years have brought us comfort and convenience.
二、 Xiao Hong is going to learn to ride bicycles.
She is on the bike and ready to ride when her father, mother and grandmother come and help her.Her father holds one handle of the bike, and her mother holds the other,with a first-aid box on the shoulder. Her grandmother holds the back seat tightly. They are all wet with sweat. However, the bike is being moved not by Xiao Hong herself but by her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will you?" says Xiao Hong to them. From this picture, we can see how much the parents care for the children. In my opinion, it is right that parents should take care of their children. But as children, we need the chance to learn and practice some skills by ourselves. We need to grow up independently. Let us do it ourselves.
On a sunny day, Xiao Hong is learning to ride bicycles. She is about to ride when her parents and grandmother come and help her. They hold the handles and the back seat. Her mother carries a first-aid box on the shoulder. They look worried and are all wet with sweat. The bike moves ahead. However, it is driven not by Xiao Hong but by her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will you?" says Xiao Hong to them. In fact, the parents love their children very much. I agree that parents should take good care of their children, but parents shouldn't help them do everything. After all children need to practice and be independent. They need to grow up themselves. Parents should stand aside and let them do if they can do it themselves.
