48 If you were the daughter, what response
Critical thinking Theme exploration If you were the daughter, what response would you have when you read the article? Some young people refuse to take their parents’ advice or even do the opposite as they think they are adults. How do you think about it? Some say a good relationship starts with good communication. What can you do to strengthen communication with your parents?

49 Critical thinking Theme exploration If you were the daughter, what response would you have when you read the article? Tips If I were the daughter, I would be very much touched when I read the article. I would call my mom to say sorry for acting rebelliously and would tell her how much I love her. Probably I would return home as soon as I can.

50 Critical thinking Theme exploration 2. Some young people refuse to take their parents’ advice or even do the opposite as they think they are adults. How do you think about it? \\ Tips I don’t think it is wise to refuse parents’ advice or even do the opposite without a good reason. Your parents care about you more than anybody else and always want to share their experience with you. If you follow their advice, you can at least learn from their experience and avoid making silly mistakes. If you don’t take their advice, you may still get experience – but in a hard way. Besides, your parents may directly point out your weaknesses that your peers wouldn’t. So, listening to your parents’ advice can make you smarter and help you grow mature.

51 • Visit them whenever possible;
Critical thinking Theme exploration 3. Some say a good relationship starts with good communication. What can you do to strengthen communication with your parents? Tips Good communication will, in my view, help build a good relationship. The following are my ways to strengthen communication with my parents: • Visit them whenever possible; • Invite them to see what I am doing at college; Teach them to use new communication tools, such as WeChat and Skype so that they can communicate with me wherever I am; • Try to look at things in their perspectives; and • Share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions.

52 Critical thinking Culture exploration What are the differences between the traditional Chinese parenting style and the western parenting style? Which one do you prefer? Tips Firstly, Chinese parents often have high expectations for their children who are thus under great pressure. While the American parents don’t emphasize much on children’s schoolwork and the children enjoy much more freedom and fun than the Chinese kids. Secondly, many Chinese parents view their children as their products, treating them as objects and trying to mold them into the forms they wish the children to be. While the American parents pay more attention to children’s individual personality and care more about their happiness.
