Can you imagine that I’m 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’m starving to death”,“I’m famished”, and“I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse”, which has a similar expression in Chinese; I’m sure you know the one. How about“I’m making a pig of myself”! A little confusing, hmm? Anyway, this stuff may be useful to you
as an English teacher, so I’m also sending a tape. You can listen to our conversation and hear some real modern American English.
Your loving daughter,
Amber
“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
Dear Mum,
Today I'm going to tell you something really special. I know you work very hard and feel tired every day. Every time you come home and see the messy house. , I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house .I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do. After I finish my homework, I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I'm so tired too.
I also want to tell you one thing, I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don't study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don't feel frustrated about my grades, OK? I made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean up the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason: I want to make you happy Mum. I love you!
With lots of love
Peter
