writing topic?It is,My happy childhood,.Do you like it?,B:No,not at all.Its a load of crap.My mother often says“We didnt have the conditions you enjoy today.You must,bla,bla,bla,”you know,Im fed up with these remarks.,A:Mm.It is a bit controversial.There are some people,such as our teachers,they think childhood is the happiest moment in ones life.,B:It may not be.Just think of your years in the middle school,or even in the primary school.We were under a lot of pressure of examinations.My mother would repeat this almost every day“If you dont have a good test score,you may not”and this or that.,A:Yes,its true.My parents would say the same thing to me,too.But they say they want me to be a responsible,capable,and independent person.,B:There are many ways to develop our personalities,but why do parents have only one way:the high test score?Many children are under such pressure.They lost their childhood too soon.Sometimes,they are not even allowed to have their own ideas.Yesterday,its on TV that one mother said that she didnt like her children to sing pop songs because she thinks they are rubbish.She only allows her children to play violin or piano and classic music.And she even felt proud of that.I think shes crazy as a mother.,A:Speaking of pressure,my parents often say that they are under even greater pressure to make a living.So they want their children to have a fresh start,and be successful in study when they are still young.,B:I was just wondering if this kind of life could be called a“fresh start”.For some children,this kind of childhood actually ruins their future.,A:Well,your views are interesting.Maybe we can raise them in tomorrows class for a discussion.,Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,蔡美儿(,Amy

3 Extended Activities,Scripts,Today,the old attitudes toward how children should be brought up have largely disappeared.For many children,family life has become more relaxed and less strict.Many young people in Britain and the US have a considerable amount of freedom and they can enjoy the things they are interested in:music,sports,television,even money and fashion.Life has become easier and more enjoyable.However,along with an easy life and permissive families,a number of social problems have arisen for the young.For example,some schools have problems with discipline and motivation;and crime and drug taking in some areas have reached serious levels.During the 1980s and early 1990s unemployment among school-dropouts was a particular problem,with many facing a bleak future and having little
