Solve problems by ourselves

When confronting problems, we often ask others for help at first. But I think that the most important thing we should do first is trying to deal with problems by ourselves. With doing it, we can become mature. Correspondingly, if we love someone, we can't replace him or her to deal with any problem but provide a little help at the adequate time. And then he or she can grow to maturity.

A difference of one

The story talks about a high school basketball team player, Joe, lost a game and a science text by one point. After the game, he went home and prepared the science test. But he really felt so tired; therefore, he decided to take a nap. As he woke up, it had been 7 o'clock in the morning. He barely went to school on time. Then the science test began. Of course he didn't understand any question on the test paper. The next day, the grade was announced. Joe was disappointed because he failed the test by only one point. He talked to the teacher, Mrs. Wright, to ask her for help. Mrs. Wright said "Joe, you have to study harder. When the game you played lost by one point, can you ask the referee for help?" Then Joe was silent and understood what Mrs. Wright said.

When failing on something, the most important thing we should do is not to request others to accommodate us but to ask ourselves why we failed. Try to find the reason and solve it. Though losing by just little difference, we still fail, it is a fact. We have to do everything harder rather than ask other people for help. We must change our attitude first as confronting troubles, and then we can learn more things in every problem.

Amelia Bedelia

"Amelia Bedelia"is written by Peggy Parish. There is a couple, the Rogers. One day, they went out after making a list of housework to Amelia Bedelia. First, she wanted to make a surprise for her folks, so she made a lemon-meringue pie. Then she watched the list which wrote the thing she had to do first was changing the towels in the bathroom. She didn't know what it means, so she changed them with a scissors. And then she made many things which were from the instructions on the list. When the Rogers came home, they cried because their house was in a mess. They felt angry, but as they tasted the lemon-meringue pie she made, they seemed to forget about angry.

My favorite part is that Amelia Bedelia dressed the steak and chicken by ribbons not by sauce. It really looks very funny.

My reflection about this story is that when witting something to others, we have to write more clearly. Don't make misunderstanding to anyone.

The story of Tom's diner

One morning, Suzanne sat at the diner on the corner. She waited for the waiter to bring her coffee. Then a woman came in and sharked her umbrella. The waiter walked to her and kissed her to say good morning. Suzanne pretended not to see them and opened the newspaper which was reported an actor was dead. Then she watched the horoscope for funny and noticed a person watch her. She raised head, and saw there was a woman stood on the outside, and she assumed that the woman watched her. But the woman didn't. She only watched her own reflection on the window, and hitched her skirt and straightened her stockings. At last, Suzanne drunk the coffee and went to catch the train.

Summary

Summary of Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads

The article "Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads" tells us that the parental roles have changed little by little. In the traditional concept, the women must be in the home, and the men had to work for the families. But the concept had broken in the 1970s and '80s. The male partners had begun to take more responsibility for child education. Besides, social scientists also make a study of the connection about a father's attitude and his child's well-being and development. Researchers have educated guessed that a role a father plays is very different from a mother in child's development. If a father can be in the home with his wife, their child will learn dealing with everything in different ways; even can decrease the crime rates of teenagers. In latter years, some organizations encourage fathers can be active in their children's lives. The view of the fathers' role is as important as mothers' in bringing up children is be founded in many people's concepts.
