Anybody here? I have a 15-year-old daughter. She is lovely and clever. I love her very much. But she likes playing computer games very much. Once she gets home, she does nothing but plays computer. No homework, no rest. When I talk to her, she says nothing to me! When I turn off the computer, she will be angry with me! Oh, dear! What shall I do? P.S. Do you have troubles with your child? Let’s share them here. |

It’s really hard to stop the teens from playing computer games. Luckily, my son doesn’t like playing computer games. He is a good student at school. He studies hard and gets good grades in the tests. But I want him to learn about piano or art because it’s very important for a child to learn things outside school. He just doesn’t understand that. He only does what the teacher asks him to do. |

For me, it’s too bad to have twin daughters. They are only 6. They look the same, go to the same school. But they act totally differently. One is quiet and friendly to people around her. The other is very naughty. She often makes others annoyed. And they always argue at home. They can’t watch TV together and they want to have the same doll. They don’t know what share means. |

One day a teacher told his students a story: There were three dogs chasing a woodchuck (土拨鼠),which ran into a hole in a tree. Soon from the tree out ran a white rabbit. The rabbit ran away very fast. Pursued and driven by the three dogs, the rabbit climbed up a tree. But it couldn’t stand steadily, so it fell down to the ground. Before the dogs came to realize what had happened, the rabbit ran away quickly again…
Finishing the story, the teacher asked, “Are there any problems with the story?” One student said, “Rabbit cannot climb trees.” Another said, “It’s impossible for three dogs not to catch a rabbit.”
When the students couldn’t find any more problems with the story, the teacher said, “There is another problem. Where did the woodchuck go? The woodchuck was the goal that the dogs were chasing.
