直到你和他们交谈,他们才可能知道你的感受。
我确信你的父母只是想让你做得好,尽管他们可能没有表现出来。
Listen to the conversation. Then role-play it.
3c
We know Judy will write a letter to her parents. What will happen after Judy’s parents read it? Let’s act it out!
3d
Work in pairs. Imagine one of you is Judy and the other is her parent. Role-play a conversation after Judy’s parents read the letter.
A: I’m sorry, Judy. I didn’t realize you were so stressed.
Would you like to talk about it?
B: OK, Mum / Dad. I’m feeling a lot of pressure because …
Sample
Mum: (softly)Judy, we read your letter. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you felt so stressed. Can we talk?
Judy: (nervous but calm)OK, Mum. I know you and Dad want me to do well, but when you always compare me with Kate, I feel like I’m not good enough. I thought you loved her more.
Mum: (takes Judy’s hands)Oh, honey, that’s not true! We love you so much. We just want you to do your best, but now we see our words hurt you. We were wrong to compare you.
Judy: (quietly)I tried really hard, but I felt like I could never make you happy.
Mum: (gently)I’m so sorry. From now on, we’ll listen more. We’ll talk about goals together, not just set them for you. Can you forgive us?
Judy: (smiling a little)Yes, I forgive you. I just want us to understand each other better.
Mum:We will. Let’s promise to talk more often, OK?
Judy:OK, Mum. That makes me feel much better.
Family love is not about being perfect. It’s about listening, understanding, and supporting each other.
Think further
1. Do your parents compare you with others? If so, how do you feel about it?
2. What do you think are good ways for parents to encourage their children?
Yes. I feel upset and stressed because it makes me think I’m not good enough, even though I try my best. It also makes me want to talk to them less.
Parents should praise their children’s efforts and progress, not just the final results or grades.
They should focus on their own children’s strengths and good qualities, instead of comparing them with others.
Parents should listen to children’s feelings, and support their hobbies and dreams.
They should set achievable goals together with their children, and help them build confidence.
