Please look the VCR . H: now please welcome the mother Miss Li.
M: hello, everyone! My name is Li xx.(have a seat, please!)Thank you!
H: so, your daughter is a junior college student, right?
M: yeah, 20-years-old, she failed in the college entrance examination, did not get her ideal university, just enrolled by qiushi college in Guiyang. She studies very hard after getting into college, wanting to pass the TOP-UP examination. But several days ago, she told me she want to give it up and , what’s worse, she rent a room outside the school with her friends without informing me!(angry) I can’t get through her now, I’m very worried. I want to know why she changed her mind suddenly?
H: did your daughter studied very hard and have a higher mark before?
M: yeah, she loves study since she was a child, she study harder than any else of her classmates.
H: does she like to do so or being force to study?
M: she developed this habit since she was a child.
H: you mean study hard is her real mind?(yeah)and she changed her mind suddenly?(yeah) did she mentioned she want to give up the exam before?
M: yes, of course. She told me she wanted to get more qualifications in the future. But I don’t know why! She just told it suddenly! I can’t understand!
H: more details?
M: she told me she wanted to buy some skirt and cosmetics and become more beautiful, I don’t agree that. I think my daughter is a student and she should dress more conservative. We quarreled and she didn’t greet me next day!
H: did she make up before?
M; Never. She never made up at home.
H: OK, what happened on the daughter and made her have so much attitude change towards the TOP-UP exam? we’d better ask the daughter herself. Please look the VCR.
H: Now Let’s welcome julie!
D: Hello, everyone! (have a seat, please.) Thank you!
H: you haven’t called your mother for a long time, right? (yeah) do you know your mom worried about you a lot?
D: I’m...I’m sorry.
M: I’m so disappointed. You don’t go to school, you wear heavy make-up......
H: (to m) I want to explain that lily looks nature and without make-up in order to see you. (to d) Did you mean to consider about your mom by doing that?
D: Yes, I dare not wear high heel shoes, dare not have heavy make-up. This is what I look like when I stay with my mom.
H: But why didn’t you tell your mother you have moved to your rented house?
D: I’ve told my mom before that I want to be more independent and try to live outside, but she opposed. She will call me whenever she want and come to my school to see if I was stay at school. So, If I want my mother agree me to live outside school, that’s impossible. I have to go out secretly.
M: as a student, you don’t stay at school instead of live outside, do you think it’s reasonable? (angry)
D: you have never thought about my feelings, every time I bought by clothes, you will say that don’t suit me and ask me don’t wear that clothes. When all my peers have the rights to decide what
they want to wear and buy it themselves, I have to buy my clothes with my mother’s company. I cannot stand it any longer! Living outside, I can decide these by myself.
H: we have heard that you did some part time job after school? D: yes, I want learn more, I don’t like my major, my mom choose it for me.
M: I’m for your good, you know. We have the ability to give you what you want to, you just need to tell me. And study hard, I don’t want you to do the job has any relationship with your major. E: so, Miss Li. Your daughter just wants to be more independent, this is a good thing. Am I right? May be her mother think that she is just a 20-years-old student, but I think lily is a 20-years-old girl, she should have a colorful and wonderful life experience instead of live as the her mother want her to live, that will give lily much pressure, maybe she want relax herself by living outside and make decision by herself. Am I right? Lily?
M: but she never told me she don’t want to do so.(委屈） E: that is because you give her so much pressure.
M: but I don’t think I have given her any pressure, she was doing what she wanted to do! She needn’t to pretend to be so for 20 years!
E: I think your daughter tried to express herself, but her idea was opposed again and again. At last, she is not willing to try any more. For example, she bought a simple cloth, but when she came back home, you don’t agree with her taste and want her to wear what you like. What’s the biggest feature of an adolescent? Rebellion. You ask them to do this, they insist to do that! They develop their judge and consider ability by such way. Actually, your daughter doesn’t have any pretend actions, she is just an adolescent, at this period, any actions of over-protecting and strict discipline from parents will be an obstacle on the development of the child. What they just need freedom to do what they like to do.
D: I just want such a chance to experience life by myself and decide I will do in the future. May be I will be fail, but without this trying, I will be regret for a life time.
E: I have to admit julie want to be more independent is a good thing . But do you know what is your goal at present? And what you will do to pursue your dream?
D: I haven’t decided yet.
E: if you have set a goal and want to pursue it, it’s acceptable. But the problem is that you don’t know what’s your really want. So, you should set a goal first.
H: after listening to the expert’s advice, I believe you and your mother must have learned a lot , have you change your mind? Now, share your idea with your mother.
D: I wonder if I could have a chance to struggle by myself and decide what major I would like to choose and I will tell you my choice at the end of this semester. I know you are for my good, but you should care about my feelings.
H: Miss Li, can you accept that?
M: yes, I can. But I insist that you live at school, which will be more safer.
D: Ok. I will move back to school.
H: both parties have made some concession and reach the agreement. I think the generation gap in our daily life is unavoidable, facing the problem, we should stand on the other’s shoes to solve the problem instead of just thinking about ourselves, and the parents and children will have a better relationship with each other.
Ok. Our program will stop here, see you next week!
