My Parents **--**

My parent’s opinions

It is clear that parents always make a decision for their family so their opinions will absolutely affect family. Sometimes the member might do not like it, so do I. Let’s see my parents’ opinion.

My parents think that today’s society isn’t very good. It was too dangerous for me and my brother to go out alone by ourselves. They are worried by all the news in the newspaper and televisions which I think that it is too much. I think that the news won’t present good side in society so often because bad news will be more interested by readers and they can sell more newspapers. I have told them my opinion but they still worried about it. May be they think I am not old enough.

It is not all the time that I disagree with their opinions but sometimes I do agree with them such as their thinking about their lifestyle. They are not too tight about their work. They always have time to relax but they still have done their work. They said that money is not an answer for everything which I exactly agree with them.

However, you can obviously see that even in a family there still have many opinions .It is because there are more than one person in family and people don’t have the same characters and experiences. But it doesn’t mean that you have to argue all the times what you should do is sit down, talk together and respect each other opinion. (That is what my parents do too!)

One of my dreams is to go abroad for a year, to have new experiences in another country. I think that if I can do that I will receive many things, more than the third language. AFS, which is an organization that gives scholarships for students who want to go abroad, can perhaps give me a chance to make my dream comes true.

I got the first test in July which tested you about English and some general knowledge and I passed this test. I was very happy.

The second round began in August, it was the oral test, if I passed this test, I would get a scholarship to go abroad. They would judge you by your thought and how you solved problems in situations more than your English ability.

I was very nervous all the time and it made me do the activities very bad. I managed my mind when doing things. One of my problems is I don’t like acting in front of many people and being watched by someone all the time. So, when I was told to act like the word they told me and let my friends in the same group guess it, I just stood there and couldn’t do anything. That made me more worried. When I was called to be interviewed by the officers, I was extremely nervous and discouraged. I could not answer the questions clearly. Things were getting worse.

After I finished the interview, I was very disappointed and wanted to quit. But after the lunch break, I had more willpower because I thought that I would be more disappointed if I could not go abroad because I had not tried my best in this test. So, when I went back, I did better in the last activity.

At last I was very pleased with the result even is I was in a reserve place.
