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.

graduate v. 毕业
from 是介词,后面接动词要用动名词形式(-ing) graduating。
graduate 也可作名词,读作 /ˈɡrædʒuət/,意为“毕业生”。
名词形式是 graduation(毕业/毕业典礼)。
如果要说“毕业于某专业”,用 graduate in + 专业。
eg:He wants to graduate from a famous university.(他想从一所著名大学毕业。)

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.
can’t wait to do 是固定搭配,意为“等不及要做某事”,表达急切的心情。
文中用的是过去时 couldn‘t wait,因为叙述的是过去的事。
补充知识:
同义表达:look forward to doing sth.(期待做某事),但 can’t wait to do 语气更强烈。
can‘t help doing 是“忍不住做某事”,注意区别。
eg:I can’t wait to see you again.(我等不及要再见到你了。)

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.
boarding school 是合成名词,意为“寄宿学校”(学生吃住都在学校)。
board 作动词有“搭伙、寄宿”的意思,boarding 是动名词作定语,修饰 school。

非限制性定语从句用逗号与主句隔开,去掉后主句意思仍然完整。
补充知识:
非限制性定语从句中 which 可指代整个主句的内容,此时从句谓语用单数。
