Dear Mom,
Can you imagine that I am now in the United States, a country so different from China? Everything is new and interesting! I made some friends on the trip over and they have been very kind and helpful. Still, you know how much I miss you and your cooking? My mouth waters at the mere thought of those delectable Chinese dishes you prepare. Last night, my friends invited me to dinner. They had some strange ways of describing their hunger. For instance, there was“I am starving to death”,“I am famished”, and“I am so hungry, I could eat a horse”, which has a similar expression in Chinese; I am sure you know the one. How about“I am making a pig of myself”! A little confusing, hmm? Anyway, this stuff may be useful to you
as an English teacher, so I am also sending a tape. You can listen to our conversation and hear some real modern American English.
Your loving daughter,
Amber
Dear Mamma,
How about you and my father?
I arrivedin Guangzhoulast Friday safely,butthe journey wasnotpleasant. The train was crowded and dirty, and I was terribly tired when I got here. After a short rest, I feel quit good now.
Uncle's family are all very well. They were very happy to see me and theyare all kind to me. Cousin Wei Ping is really warm-hearted, and he has been showing me around the city these days. We have many things in common so that we can talk to each other all the day.Tonight Wei Ping and I are going to a concert. We both like the star very much.I'm sure we'll have a good time.
Guangzhou is a beautiful city, and a bustling one as well. Life here is busy,butexciting and colourful. I love the way people work and live here and I hope to have a chance to work and live in this city when I grow up.
Uncle and Aunt send you my love.
Truely yours
David
“You always say that I am naive。 In your eyes, I am always the little girl who will never grow up”。 This is my favorite song and also the sound from the bottom of my heart。 You made me feel so lucky to be your child。 But I find our hearts getting further apart as time goes by。
You strictly forbid me to do entertaining activities even if I finished my homework, such as watching TV or playing computer games。 based on this, I couldn’t get any grade less than A。 It is said that genius only means hard-working all one’s life。 But I think combining exertion is the best way for learning。
The most important thing to me was that I feel frustrated for having few friends to confide in due to your strict rules。 I can’t have a play date, participate in a school play or even choose my own extracurricular activities。 Who will accept such a boring and troublesome person? I am just an ordinary girl who can’t stand loneliness, so I always feel contradictory。
On the one hand, I’m grateful to have you in my life, to disappoint you was the least I would do。 On the other hand, what you asked for me made me felt like a puppet rather than a real person。 I appreciated your efforts to pull me away from a self-indulgent life, but your obsessively extravagant strictness has pushed me into an isolated and insensible one。 I need a little freedom so that I will concentrate on something I really interested in。
Father and mother, these words were hid in my deep heart for a long time。 I love you, and I believe if you change some harsh rules。 I will have a wonderful life。
Best wishes。
Yours, daughter
