Reading & Writing
After graduating from middle school, I couldn’t wait to go to boarding school.
Boarding school meant freedom! No more family rules to follow or chores to do like at home. But my parents asked me to call them every weekend. I did as they asked, though I found it annoying at first, since I was so busy with my new friends and exciting life at the new school.
One day, something happened, which changed my mind. I became really ill with a fever and I called my mum. When I heard her tender voice, I felt comforted. She took the one-hour train journey to come to see me, bringing me soup and fruit. I was so moved by what my mum did for me. I realised how she loves me without expecting anything in return.
From that day on, I got into the habit of calling my parents every weekend, as a way of showing that I care. It is important to be independent, but we also need to show our love and respect for those who matter most.

The text is about a girl’s family story in which her relationship with her parents got better.
2. Have you had any experiences similar to the girl’s in the text?
Yes, I have. I thought my parents were too strict with me and I didn’t listen to their advice when I was in middle school, but now I realise how much they love me and would love to share my ideas with them.
3. How do you show love and respect for your parents?
I call them every weekend and share interesting experiences at school with them. I think it is a good way to show my love and respect for my parents.
