These days, we see a lot of shopping festivals. For Chinese shoppers, Singles’ Day is a big one, and it’s on November 11th.In the United States, Black Friday is the most well-known one.

Black Friday always falls on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. On this day, stores give special deals (特别折扣). Shoppers wake up very early. They wait in line (队伍) at stores before they open, but they might start to wait in line as early as 2 or 3a. m. Sometimes there are too many people. They are not able to get inside the store. Black Friday is not the only shopping festival in the US. Another similar (类似的) holiday is Cyber (网络的) Monday. This day always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Personally, I don’t like any of these holidays. They place too much importance on buying things. I like Buy Nothing Day. The “holiday” falls on the same day as Black Friday. It is an international holiday that is against the trend (趋势) of over-consumption (消费过度).

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live a comfortable life. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the examinations.

But why their children still can’t understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation ( 安 慰 ), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.

So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.
