Dear Mom,
I recently read the book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom by Amy Chua. I found that you and Ms. Chua have a lot in common in parenting. Today, I’ d like to share some of my views on this topic.
Childhood memories of your strict “dos” and "don’ts" came flooding back. Because count- less hours were invested on practicing musicalinsUu- ments, there was not even a slim chance for me to participate in parties and school plays, let alone fully enjoy the authentic pleasures of family life.Moreover, deprived of the freedom to choose hob- bies, I sometimes felt that I was just like a lonely pup- pet manipulated by others. Dear mother, do you be- lieve that time and time again I woke up from beau- tiful dreams with tears streaming down my face?
However, though Ive labeled it as a brutal regimen when I was young, as I became heavily involved inme outside world, I’ve come to realize that it was quite rewarding to have been tiger trained. As George Eliot putslt,"It never rains roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant trees". This is as true of 0ur growing up, especially in an unprecedentedly stressful so- cietyr, Fortunately, tiger parenting has equipped me with exceptional study habits,thus helping me stand out in the intense competition. Furthermore, it has endowed me with strong willpower as well as inner self-poise, which bas proved to be a most pre- cious quality of mine. Finally,thanks to your firm discipline, not cmly have I cultivateda discerning taste in art, but I’ve also built my own set of moral values. In view of all these facts, tiger parenting has benefited me in the lorlg run despite the cost of the immediate joy of a normal carefree cbildhood.
Now, looking back on my childhood with your specialparenting method,I want to extend my sincerest appreciauon to you, my dear mother. As I am to commence my college life now,I promise you that Ill improve myself ina "tiger" way, going all out to fulfill all of my dreams.
Love,
Daughter
专家点评:
通过这封写给母亲的信,作者把母亲的教育方式和“tiger mom”的方式作对比,阐述自己的观点。开篇简洁明了,正文欲扬先抑,强调对“tiger training”的赞同,依此出发向母亲表达深切感激之情。文章结构清晰,观点明了,逻辑性强,行文通顺。作者词汇量丰富,长句驾驭能力强。建议适当改变句式,保证长短错落有致。
亲爱的`母亲:
The mother's day is coming and I would like to say “Happy mother's day” in this letter. I love you and thank you so much for everything you did for me. This day,I will stay away and can't give you my appreciation at home. I know I will watch myself,so don't worry about me. I am doing very well on my study. My schoolmates and teachers are all very nice. Though I can't be at home, I hope you will have a wonderful mother's day.
母亲节快到了,我想在这封信里对您说“母亲节快乐”。我爱你,感谢你为我做的一切。这一天,我离开了,不能在家给您表达我的谢意。我知道我会看着自己,所以不要担心我。我在学习上做得很好。我的同学和老师都很好。尽管我不在家里,我仍希望您有一个美好的母亲节。
Your son,
你的儿子,

我的母亲学历不高,但总能说出什么有道理的话,她曾用极其凶狠的语气骂过我,也用过柔情似水的话语安慰过我。就是这种种话,让我每当要知难而退的时候,就会想起。
我每次考差,哭丧着脸回家时,我妈就会极其灵敏的感觉到不对的气氛,她不会直接问我考的如何,而是旁敲侧击。当我说出成绩后,她也依然微笑着对我说:“只要努力,就会有回报,你付出的我们都看在眼里,不怕下次考不好。”其实听完这话我也十分愧疚,因为我总是不能达到预期,反而还是他们一次次的来安慰我。
当我说我快坚持不下去的时候,她又会对我说:“尽自己所能,不去管其他的,不让自己后悔就行。”是的呀,我无需顾虑名次排多少,无需害怕被她责骂,我只需要一往直前,做自己想做的的事,尽自己的努力不后悔就好。
她总是一直在背后支持我,不会刻意要求我一定要完成这,完成那,她几乎从来不逼我做任何我不想做的事情,她想要的只是我的健康成长。她和别人的妈妈似乎不太一样,但是和天下所有的妈妈又一样,希望子女可以变得越来越好。
她的那些话常常指引着我,如同漆黑的夜里的一盏明灯,为我照亮前方的路;又常常在我迷茫的时候,我拥犀利的话语点醒我,让我迷途知返。
我该如何能够表达我对她的感激,我想我唯一能做的,就是不辜负她对我的期望,努力成为更好的自己。
