　　Tigers are fierce animals．They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness, quickness and strength．A pussycat, on the other hand, is a homebody that comforts us with its gentle warmth and calms us with its purring．

　　As a mother, the Chinese-American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger．Her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother(虎妈战歌)．tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children．She thinks that being strict is the only way to develop a child's potential(潜力)and to make them strong, independent and successful．Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games．They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school．They had to be the top students in their classes．And they had to practice the piano and violin for hours every day．As a result, her kids became successful．She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets(后悔)．

　　Chua says, like her, most Asian mothers are tigers because they believe their children can achieve a lot if they're pushed hard enough．She says American mothers are really pussycats．They care more about their children's self-esteem(自尊)．They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings．American mothers encourage their children to find their own path．

　　So, is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures．It may also depend on the child himself．Some kids need to be pushed while others respond to a gentler hand．To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer．

　　When inviting guests to your party,　send invitations to their homes instead of passing them out at school．This way, you won’t hurt the feeling of classmates you didn’t invite．

　　1．Wait for all your guests to arrive before starting any activities．If people at the party don’t know each other, make sure you introduce everyone．

　　If your guests bring gifts for you, thank each gift－giver as you open his/her present．After the party, be sure to send a hand-written thank-you card to each guest, telling them how much you appreciate their gifts．

　　When you receive a invitation to a party, be sure to let the host know whether you can come．

　　Children are amazing! They①pick up languages so naturally and easily．Have you ever wondered why? It's not because they have great natural language abilities．②In fact, studies show that an adult's potential(潜能)to learn language is as good as a child's．

　　So why do children still seem　to acquire(学到)languages more quickly than the rest of us? It's because of the way they learn．Children learn by simply doing　what comes naturally－they listen, copy and communicate．Let's take a closer　look at how children acquire languages．Perhaps we can discover a better, more "natural" way to learn English．

　　Children don't practice grammar drills, but use languages to talk about things that interest them．This helps them learn to express themselves．They don't worry about inadequate(不足的)vocabulary or poor grammar．They find ways to express themselves, and they do it successfully．

　　③Students should pay more attention to genuine(真实的)communication．Look for chances to talk with people in English．If you can't find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students instead．Start an English discussion group and chat about music, movies or whatever interests you．

　　Don't worry about making mistakes．The aim is to learn how to communicate easily and comfortably．Remember that you can communicate successfully even with a small vocabulary．

　　Trust your own natural ability　to learn English．You've got more potential than you probably realize!
