Weekly Task 2

Weekly Task 2

　　"I ask you to eat health food and some supplements, but you don’t seem to bear my words in your mind!” My mother always stresses the importance of health, and reminds me to eat some particular things every day. In the beginning, I almost refuse or ignore what she said about eating something. At that time, I dislike being asked to do what I don’t have interests in. Therefore, I sometimes have a quarrel with my mother on this issue.

　　As I grow up, I try to calm down when hearing “I am doing this for YOU!” or “I meant well. You will understand when you grow up”. Then, I will rethink and voice my opinions or express my inner feelings with my parents in a proper way after hearing those words.

　　Now, I know what my parents say is out of their love and care. Nevertheless, due to the different generation gap, my parents and I often think in different angles. That’s why we have some quarrels at times. In my opinion, if parents and their offspring can discuss about controversial domestic issues in a peaceful way, they will listen to each other’s thoughts and finally come to a compromise.

　　Yes, I have said, “I have my principles and a positive attitude toward my life”. I consider myself a self-disciplined person. In my opinion, people who do not have any value or principle will lead an aimless life. Therefore, I think one should find out some personal values as well as principles, and keep sticking to it.

　　I will think one who laughs at me for never skipping classes is ludicrous. From my point of view, students have an obligation to show up for every class. One reason is that this is a basic respect for teachers. The other reason is that this is a chance to learn being responsible.

　　The importance of critical thinking is stressed greatly nowadays. When I get information from people or mass media, I do not totally believe it. I sometimes do double check to make sure what I heard or saw is true when I have time. If my friend tells me that working as a part-time waiter in a fancy restaurant will get lots of money, I will seek others’ advice, take it for reference and finally make a decision.
