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,

几年前,母亲随口说的一句话,仍存留在我心灵深处。不知为何,她的那句话,她那时面部的表情,如此难以忘却,无论风吹雨打,还是艳阳高照,都铭记在心。
我小学的时候,成绩非常不好,不及格是非常正常的现象,妈妈每次看到我的成绩都皱着眉毛,浓浓的忧愁。再加上邻居家的孩子成绩非常好,这令她更难过了,每次大人们谈孩子时都躲得远远的。
一次期末考试,那是我有史以来分数最低的一次,成了班里倒数第一,也因此,开家长会时妈妈被老师留到了最后,谈了谈话,回到家时,妈妈身上充满了低气压。那一天,刚好下着大雨,天空没了往日的蔚蓝,乌黑一片,轰隆隆,雷声猛烈地响着。妈妈来到我身旁,脸上也是阴沉沉的,满满的哀痛,眼尾有些微红,又有点湿润,我不由得想:她是哭了吗?我的思绪被妈妈打断,她最初说了什么,现在我也记不清多少了,唯一记得“我们只是普通人,你要记住,对于你来说,只能好好学习,不要像爸爸妈妈一样,每天都很累,却挣不了多少钱,你要努力,再努力,拼尽全力,不要走爸爸妈妈这样的路。”从那以后,我奋发图强,成绩逐渐上升,心中一直记得那时发生的一切,每当坚持不下去时,就会想起她的话。
良言一句三冬暖。母亲的话,如阳光,温暖着我,也鼓励着我前行。
