My relationship with my mother changed after I went to college. When I was at home, we (argue) about many things, for example, wearing makeup(化妆品) and (talk) on the phone. One time, before a big party, she refused (let) me leave the house, She thought my makeup was too heavy. I had to (wash) my face before I went to the party. I was the only girl without makeup, and I was so mad. And when I talked to my friends on the phone, my mum always shouted to tell me to hang up, and the person I was talking to could hear her. Her (behave) always made me upset.
But after a few months at college, I changed myself (complete). I met new people. I started learning about history, politics, and the world. I didn't have the time or patience for long phone conversations, I stopped caring so much about things like makeup. I (one) went to a party with no makeup on, but I felt fine. I just laughed about it. My new way of thinking brought me (close) to my mother than before. Now, I talk to my mother almost every day. We get along quite well. We go to movies together and read the same books. I tell her about my problems and she gives me good (suggest). Last month, my mother helped me through a bad time. She is an (amaze) person. I know that now.
Stop talking! That's .

A young man with a large bag on his back came far away for a master (大师). He said "Master, I'm so lonely and so painful that the long trip makes me tired out, my shoes worn-out, my feet cut, and my hands also injured an bleeding .... Why can't I find the sun in the heart?"
The master asked, "What do you put in you large bag?"
The young man said, "It is very important to me, inside it including the pain each time I fall, the tears each time I'm hurt, the trouble each time I feel lonely ... Depending on it, I can come to you here."
So the master took the young man to the river which they crossed in a boat. On the other side of the river, the master said, "Hurry on your journey carrying the boat!"
"What, carrying the boat?" the young man was surprised, "it is so heavy. How can I carry it?"
"Yes, my son, you can't carry it," the master just smiled and said, "when you cross the river, the boat is useful. But after crossing it, you will put down the boat and hurry on, If not, it will become a burden (负担). Pain, loneliness and tears—all these are useful to life. They can improve life, but if you don't forget them all the time, they will become the burden in life. Put it down! My son, life can't bear(承受) a heavy burden," The young man put down his bag and hurried on. He walked easily and happily, and much faster than before.
