he studies harder than he used to.
li wen is a normal 15-year-old boy from the countryside. he works very hard and does well in school. it is hard to
believe that he used to have difficulties in school. when he was a little boy, he
seldom caused any problems, and his family spent a lot of time together. however,
things began to change a few years ago. his parents moved to the city to look for
jobs, and his grandparents came to take care of him. but he missed his parents so
much and he often felt lonely and unhappy.
li wen’s unhappiness began to influence his schoolwork. he began less interested
in studying. he was absent from classes and failed his examinations. finally, li wen’
s parents made the decision to send him to a boarding school. however, li wen was
shy and was not able to make friends quickly in school. he found life there difficult.
one day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. his teacher was
worried about him and she called his parents. she advised them to talk with their
son in person. so his parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to their li wen’s school.
they had a long talk. “it was exactly what i needed,” he said. “now i understand
that even though they are busy, they are always thinking of me. they take pride in
everything good that i do.”
after that, li wen’s parents had much more communication with their son than
they used to. now li wen has really changed. he became more outgoing and made
some good friends in school. he even joined the school basketball team and became
active in many other activities. “i’m much happier now, and i work even harder
than i used to. i know my parents love me and they are always proud of me,”
says li wen. “it’s very important for parents to be there for their children.”
