Tiger Mom,

You’ve been criticized(批评) a lot since your book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, came out. One problem is that some people don’t get your humor. They think you’re serious about all things and Lulu and I are suffering a lot from such a strict mother. That is not true.

But for real, it’s not their fault. No outsider can know what our family is really like. They don’t hear us laughing over each other’s jokes. They don’t see us eating our hamburgers with fried rice. They don’t know how much fun we have when the six of us — dogs included — squeeze into one bed and argue about what movies to download from Netflix.

I admit it: Having you as a mother was no tea party. There were some play dates I wish I’d gone to and some piano camps I wish I’d got away from. But now that I’m 18 and about to leave the tiger den(穴), I’m glad you and Daddy raised me the way you did.

A lot of people have accused you of producing robot kids who can’t think for themselves. Well, I came to the opposite conclusion: your strict parenting made me more independent(独立的).

Everybody’s talking about the birthday cards we once made for you, which you refused to take because they weren’t good enough. Funny how some people believe that Lulu and I will feel hurt for life. But let’s face it: It took me 30 second; I didn’t put my heart into it. That’s why, when you rejected it, I didn’t feel hurt at all.

There’s one more thing: I have come to understand what it really means to live a meaningful life to the fullest. To me, it’s about knowing that you’ve tried your best, body and mind. You feel it when the piano piece you’ve practiced for days and hours finally comes to life beneath your fingertips. You feel it when you do something on your own that you never thought you could. And for that, Tiger Mom, thank you.

Yours,

Sophia

A good book can be satisfying, can improve your knowledge and can teach you a lot. There are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.

Set times. You should have a few set times every day when you’ll read for at least 5—10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch(and even dinner if you eat alone).

Always carry a book. No matter where you go, take a book with you. When you leave the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you're sure you won’t have time to read.

Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.

Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair without television or computer near the chair. There should be no music or noisy family members. Set a high aim. For example. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year. Try your best to finish reading them. Just be sure you' re still enjoying the reading.
