Different Parents Teaching Method Quickwrite

After I read article, I strongly disagree with her. Yes, chinese mothers tend to have a different method. But that is not all the parents. only some is really like that. For example, my mom is not like that, she likes us to do what we like to do. So we pick our own after school events or sport teams. My mom is always proud of me when I stand on the stage to perform, she likes to see me enjoying what I like to do. Yes, chinese parents have higher standards for children especially in academic. This is true, my mom is like that too. But it is not true that chinese children will never get a B on his or her report cards. I sometimes get a B on my report cards too. I think this article may not be racist, but it is biased. This is just a stereotype of chinese parent.

Poison Quickwrite P.337

Yes, we face a lot of hard choices. And I am just a high school student, so to me, picking a college and major will be the most important choice now. Almost every student have a cream job that my or may not come true, for example, mine is being a superstar. And also, most of the students have a subject that he or she is good at or like it very much. Picking a college and a major can influence a person a lot. A lot of factors can influence one to pick a major or college, one of them is his or her interest. If you are going to work on this topic for most of your life, then you have to enjoy it, or els you are going to be miserable every day. But not everyone can pick a job that he or she likes, because your parents wouldn't let you pick jobs that THEY don't like. So that is another factor, parents. The third factor is money. Some colleges are more expensive than others, so if you don't have enough money, then you can't choose that college too. These are the three main factors that influence students to pick a college or major.
