A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.I was shocked.I mean,a whole minute?Every day?Get real.Once a week maybe.The fact is,many Asian males are terrible at kid- related thjye.aigs.In fact,I am one of them.
Child- rearing° doesn't come naturally to guys.My mother knew the names of our teachers,best friends and crushes.My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment.My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day.My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter.Then he'd buy beer.My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers.My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees.My mother served kid food to kids.My dad added chili sauce to everything,including our baby food.
The truth is,mothers have superpowers.My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over.I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do.My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting phrase such as "Mummy kiss it better," and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes,mothers are incredible people,but they are not always correct.Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time.Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates: "If you're going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends,don't come running to me when you find yourself penniless." The mother of Albert Einstein: "When you grow up,you'll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won't pay the grocery bills. "The mother of George W.Bush: "You'll never be like your dad,who became President of the United States and started his own war."

1.Dear Dr Lee,
The days of mine are not all sunny.As a middle school student,I have many problems.On the one hand,I am under great pressure(壓力) in my studies,I need to take the exams every month.If I fall behind other students,I will feel that I am not doing well.I always want to be the best,but things can't go on my way.On the other hand,I don't want to talk to my parents about my problems.If they ask me questions,I will answer them with few words.I think they won't understand me.And my body grows fast,changes happen in me,I can't control my emotion(情緒).What should I do?
LauraDear Laura,
It's normal to have these problems.But don't worry.The life is not always wonderful.Everybody has growing pains(痛苦) on their way to the growth.But the time is fair(公平的),gains(收獲) are always with pains.Growing pains seem full of knowledge and experience.Although there's so much homework,so many exams,and so many different ideas between the parents and you,you will learn how to make your dreams come true by working hard and how to understand each other by talking with your parents.Growing pains worry you a lot but they will give you power(力量) and confidence(自信) at the same time.They can help you to be successful and make more friends as well.Successes and friendships can make you happy and enjoyable.Both pains and gains can make your life more colorful.So I think what you need to do is learning to adjust(調(diào)節(jié)) yourself and get used to these changes.You need to open your heart and have less pressure.

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message.Yes,I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here,but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is rally kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
Although I still make lots of mistakes,it doesn't worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table As you can imagine,things are really different from the way they are at home.For example,you shouldn't put your bread on your plate.You are supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first,but now I'm used to it.You shouldn't eat anything with your hands except bred,not even fruit!You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.Another thing is that it is very impolite to say you're full If you don't want any more food,you should just say, "It was delicious.".Also,you shouldn't put your elbow on the table I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything,but I'm gradually getting used to it.I don't find French customs so strange any more.
Dear Laura,I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France.Hope you are having a good school year.
Yours,
Lin Yue
