Brought Up in a Happy Family I'm the only child in my family, the apple of my parents' eyes. My mother and father take good care of my and give me a lot of support throughout my life. My father is the manager of a company and my mother is a teacher. They are both well educated and do well in their jobs. They know that knowledge is power. Father often communicates with foreign friends and is good at English. I can learn a lot from him, especially English. His oninion on education is as advanced as that of my mother's. They often give me advice on my studies but never interfere in them. They seldom force me to do what I don't like to. They permit me to have different opinions. If something is good for me, they will persuade me to do it as they want. Many people of our age say that there is a generation gap between their parents and them. However, it doesn't exist between us. My mother is a math teacher. She is very clever and good at teaching. She can work out a problem within 10 minutes which would cost me 2 hours. I envy and admire her. I want to be a math teacher like her. I'm lucky to have such enlightened parents. I'm lucky to have been brought up in such a happy family.成长在快乐的家庭里 我是家里的独生子，父母的掌上明珠。妈妈和爸爸在生活上给了我细心的照顾与支持。 我爸爸是一家公司的经理，妈妈是一名教师。他们都受过良好的教育，并且在工作中很出色。他们尽最大的努力给我最好的教育。他们都知道知识就是力量。爸爸经常与外国朋友打交道，因此擅长英语。我能从他那里学到很多，特别是英语。他的教育观念跟妈妈的一样先进。他们经常给我的学习提意见，但从不干涉。他们很少强迫我做不喜欢的事情。他们允许我有不同的意见。如果真有什么对我有益的事，他们会劝服我去做。许多同龄人都说父母和他们之间有代沟。然而，我们之间却并不存在代沟。 我妈妈是一名数学老师。她很聪明，擅长教学。有时候我花2个小时才能做完的题，她10分钟就能解决。我真是又羡慕又佩服她。我想成为像她那样的数学老师。 我很幸运我有这么开明
