In Western countries like America, families are usually small. Most children live only with their parents. Parenting styles: Chinese parents are strict with their children about homework and bedtime. They want the children to care about the elders and help with housework. In Western countries, parents always let their children do what they want to do. But both love their children very much! Jobs and dreams: When Chinese young people choose jobs, many listen to their parents’ ideas. Some even work in the same city to stay near their families. In Western countries, young people often move to new cities for work. They want to make their own dreams come true. Chinese parents and Western parents teach their kids in different ways. But both love and support their children. Both ways help children grow into good adults! 27. In Western countries, which people usually live together in a family? A. Parents and children. B.
