Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two parents and one or two children each.
Children in the US will leave their parents' home when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holiday.
Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it is important for young people to decide on their lives by themselves.
Parents ask children to do some work around their house. And in many families, parents pay their children for doing some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own use.
Do you know how to take the medicine? I think the following advice is helpful.
For a stomachache |
Take each pill(药片)of the medicine three times a day for children of 14 years old with a stomachache. Usually, a pill at 6:00 a. m. before breakfast, one before 11:00 a. m. and one before sleep. Not for children under six years old. |
For a cough |
This medicine is for a person with a cough. Take two pills once a day before sleep for adults. Half for children under twelve years old. Children with a bad cough, go to see a doctor. |
For a cold |
Take the medicine three times a day. Once two pills for an adult with a cold. Half the pills for children under ten years old. |
Everybody will have some health problems. Here are Mr. Black's problems and his doctor's advice. I hope they can help you.
Mr. Black's problems
My name is David Black. I live in a small house. I never go out when the weather is cold or hot, because I am worried I'll have a cold. I don't go out often because I don't want to talk with others. I hardly exercise, but sometimes I take a walk in my garden. After I walk for a few minutes, I have to take a rest. I am always very weak and tired. I often have a headache but I don't want to see a doctor. What should I do?
Dr. Smith's advice
Traditional Chinese doctors believe we need a balance of yin and yang to be healthy. I think you have too much yin because you are always worried about something and you don't like going out or talking with others. I think you should eat some yang foods, like beef and you need to exercise more. Also, talking with others can make you feel relaxed. And if you don't feel very well, it's important for you to go to see a doctor. And you will feel better after you take some Chinese medicine.
