VII. 寫作練習
The girl has loving parents. They often have dinner together and talk happily while eating. She knows whatever happens, her parents will keep supporting and encouraging her. The boy, on the contrary, is afraid of his parents. They often blame him for his grades even though he already does his best or performs well. This brings him a lot of pressure. He feels unhappy and does not know what to do. At school, the girl always has a great time with her friends. However, the boy is sad and lonely all the time because he doesn’t know how to make friends. How different these two people are, and how important the roles of parents are in children’s lives!
