" Well, I think I should (被允许)to decide for myself, hesays. "My parents have always taught me how important it is (work) hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but I' m serious about (run). It' s the only thing I' ve ever wanted to do. His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they don' t allow him to practice (run) at night. "Maybe he thinks it' s too strict or unfair," says Mrs. Liu.

"I know my parents care about me. They always talk about what (happen) if I don' t succeed. But I will! I' m a quick runner! I think I should be allowed to (做出这个选择)myself. Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream. "
