Disscuss the differences between Your childhood and that of your parents or grand Parents 讨论一下你的父母或爷爷，奶奶和你童年的区别。

Yes, of Course. I have Grandparents. We are in the same city. But we don't live together.
I can well remember that when I was a little child, my mother was far away for work. My Father works in Xian Yang. That time, my father and I lived together with my with my grandarents in their house. They didn't taught me Shaanxi dialect. They just taught me the common speech. Somtimes my classmates talk in Shaanxi dialect. I have no way to talk to them, not because of I can't understand them. but I can't speak the dialect that makes me feel strange and special. But in another hand. I don't have a Shaanxi accent so my common speech is standard.
When my Mum was a little girl many Chinese family have many Children. My father's family have 7 children and my mother's family have 5 children. That's really common. But that time, China was really poor. The families always had no enough food . So the way my parents were brought up was compleatly different with the way was brought up. For Me the most important thing is to study. For them they had to cook, looked after their brother and sister, feed the animals, do cleaning even helped the parents do the farming. I think my parents' childhood was really free but also hard.
When my grandma was a child she must stay at home to help doing chores. She told me that she had to do a lot of weaving everyday. She didn't go to school. But she can read books.
So I think the way of bringing children up is changing. It's getting better and better. That's because the time changes the policy of goverment changes.
So I want to say thanks

At 14.28 on may 12, 2008 a great earthquake happened in enchuan. a small town of China. No body has forcast this calamity before and everything was peacful. But afetr 14.28 just in few minutes, more than 10000 people had died for this earthquake. All the buildings have been destroyed, bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves. No wind however could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell. The railway tracks were now useless pieses of steel. Sand now filled wells instead of water..... A whole city has become a hell. At that time, most of the city in China has felt the ground was shaking, no one can hide the grief, because every heart is shedding tears.

An Interview with my Father

M: Iy's a fact taht I'm bring up in a warm way. I have the right to go to school. I can have almost whatever I want to eat and I have entertainment I like too. But what about you dad? Did all your freinds and you go to high school at that time?

F: Yes most of us went to high school but our lessons are much easier and...

M: Oh Dad the point is about the way grandma and grandpa bring you up.

F: As you see. I have a brother , a sister so none of us could be taken full care of. My brother helped bring me up and I helped bring my little sister up. My bedroom was their bedroom, that is to say we had to share nearly everything. And my mother and my father never brought me expensive new clothes. I got clothes from elder brothersin the big family.

M: Did they pick you up after school when you were small?

F: When I was really small I didn't go to school thee wasn't any nursery schools at taht time and when I was in my elementary school I went to school and came back home all by myself.

M: So the last question do you think you are brought up in a better way or do you think I'm brought up in a better way.

F: Oh.. It's really hard to say. If children are brought up in the way I was they will be much more independant they can do many things by themselves and they know how to share. If children are brought up in the way you were they will have much more knowledge they know a lot but... you see you even don't wash your socks.

M: Ok ok I know but I really do have time.
