As we all know, Chinese students are hard-working. But they’re at the same time.
At school, they have to follow the strict school . For example, they have long hair or wear strange (奇怪的) clothes.
And at home, they’re always busy with their homework and they don’t have any free time to do what they like. Once (一旦) they don’t do well in exams, their parents will lose for them.
On weekends, their parents tell them to take part in different classes they don’t like. They always feel and bored. They interest in school things slowly. Some students can’t it and leave home. Because their parents only care about children’s study and they never what they want.
“Many students can do nothing study. Some students even don’t know to get on well with others and how to take care of others,”said an expert (专家).
“This is a serious problem. It’s necessary for us to think it over and solve it well,”said another expert.

I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” asked.
“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather confused(迷惑) as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony, “she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida.” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds, I didn’t recognize(认识) him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,”I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.
How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could hardly have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my outside in the back yard. At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so disappointing! I thought I my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I the old bike and rode it, feeling bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t .... As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me much more than just a rusty old bike. They gave me a life lesson about . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that 50 two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
