Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness,quickness and strength. A pussycat,on the other hand
As a mother,the Chinese﹣American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book,Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being strict is the only way to d a child's potential and to make them strong,i and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to p the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result,her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔).
Chua says,like her,most A mothers are tigers because they believe their children can a a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care more about their children's self﹣esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. W soft words and understanding,they encourage their children to find their own path.
So,is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed w others respond to a gentler hand.
To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer.

Liu Yifei 14 Shanxi | When I got to Middle School, I was sad to find out that all of my classmates had studied everything before the class started. During class, everyone knew the answers to our teacher's questions, but I did not. I came last in the first test. So I looked for ways of learning online. For example, for history, drawing the timeline on paper helped me a lot. My grades then got a lot better. I'm very happy for myself. |
Lai Yijiang 14 Sichuan | When I was in sixth grade, I moved to a new city. At that time, I felt bad every day. My classmates all knew each other and had their small groups. I had no friends and lost interest in everything. My grades also became the worst in the class. Those were my darkest days. Later, I made a friend. He made me open up, and I started to talk to more people. Also, I came to get used to the weather in the city. Step by step,I felt better and better. |
