Most Chinese parents have great hope of their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. Many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are made to fulfill the dreams that their parents have planned for them.
There are two sides to parents' hope. The hope can encourage (鼓励) children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends largely on his or her parents' hope. However, unrealistic (不现实的) hope can be bad to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Parents' hope can take children's freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge (评判) them only by their grades.
My parents' hope of me is to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure (压力) on me, ★ . However, I have my own dreams. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents' hope is necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Parents must make sure their hope of their children is realistic so that their children will not lose their confidence.
