Dear Sir, 

  My parents always put so much pressure on me. In my free time, they only   (1)  me to go to all kinds of classes. A few days ago, I didn’t get a good   (2)   in the science exam. My mom got angry and kept on saying she “failed (失败) to raise (培养) me”. I’m so   (3)  now. What should I do?

Dear Bob, 

   Sometimes parents make   (4)  , too. Your mother shouldn’t talk to you like that. Perhaps your parents grew up in a poor situation. They saw so many  (5)  in their poor lives. So they want to give you the best. As a result, they try to   (6)    you hard.  You must be crazy with all these. But you can’t   (7)   with your parents. You should have open communication with them. You could say, “Mom, I   (8)    you and I want to do my best. But what you said is not helping me out.   (9)  , it is making me so nervous. I need you to help me but not hurt me. I understand you want   (10)  to have an easier life than you had. But I also need to have more time to relax and be a kid.”         

   After you tell your parents your opinions, maybe they can understand you.
