Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and Japan.
"Chinese 6 hope very much to go abroad to get a wider view (视野) of the world," said Li Mingshan, a Chinese writer who has lived 7 America for many years. In a talk Li told more than 300 parents and their children that life in foreign countries can be 8 for young people. "They have to meet a culture shock and language problems.”
However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after 9 when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge (挑战).
Zhao Baohua, a 16-year-old student 10 to study in a high school in Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there hardly pushed students to study. And usually there wasn't homework. "With these education systems, we have more free 11 and more space for thinking," said Zhao. "But 12 you don't know how to plan your time and money, you will not have an easy time." Some of his friends spent their whole year's money in the first two months of the term, and they didn't 13 their exams.
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages 14 , but students and parents should know about the challenges," Li said. "If you want to study abroad, try to talk to someone with experience in foreign countries. Make sure that you are 15 for it. "
Sometimes I really wonder whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read about in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too much to say.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I quietly sat down beside her and her.
“Mom, I have a question for you,” I said, breaking the .
“What?” she asked, still doing her work.
“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very voice.
She stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. But then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was very then because I thought I had hurt her.
It seemed like a very long time before my mother started to speak again. “Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “look at this thread (线). Sometimes it , but most of it disappears (消失) in the quilt. The thread makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can
be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is inside (在里面).”
I listened carefully but I didn’t understand the next spring. My father had a stroke (中风) and
walk by himself anymore. After that, my mother
my father walk outside every day. Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers and trees. The sun gently glistened through leaves. They two, hand in hand, walked slowly. To me, that was
picture in the world — that’s a picture of love.
They still don’t say “I love you” to each other. But I know they have deep love for each other. I used to think love meant flowers and sweet kisses. But actually, love is just a thread in the quilt.
