Activity
Key words: confident activity
Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more.Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same. In fact, those children may find it hard to thiink for themselves when they are older. Because parents are trying to plan their kinds lives for them.Wwhen these kids are addults,they might find it difficult to plan things themselves.Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves.On the one hand, children need organizzed their activities;on the other hand,they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves. The children are assigned from the activity to the other activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure; teachers complain about teaching tired kids in the classroom.
So I often manage to find the interesting object which is connection with their lives. eg: (unit2 in Grade 8 the second copy)

A:Well,maybe you should buy some new clothes.
B:Yes, but I dont have enough money.
A:Huh,maybe you could get a part-time job in the evnings.
B:I cant. Because my parents want me to stay at home every night. I often argued with them about it.
A:Well,you shouldnt argue with your parents. You talk abouot your problems.
