My childhood was unforgettable¹. When I was five yearsold, I went to the kindergarten every day. I had a lot of good time with mylittle friends. My parents took good care of me. I didn’t need to care aboutfood and clothes and any other things. I was very happy in those days. But oneday, my mother told me that she wouldn't pick me up after school. I was afraid ofgoing home alone, so I started to cry and I was angry with my mother. AlthoughI insisted that she and my father should protect me safely, they stilldisagreed with me. They thought it was good for me to learn to be independent. The nextday after class, I had to take a bus to go back home. I forgot to see the busroute when I got on. Therefore, when the bus was more and more far from myhome, I felt anxious. Finally, I got the last stop, and then took the same bus backhome. When I told my parents my story, they never thought it is a mistake, onthe contrary², they thought it is a useful experience. From then on, I don't letthem meet me after school any more.

我的童年是难忘的。五岁的时候，我每天都要去幼儿园。我和小朋友们度过了许多美好的时光。我父母把握照顾得很好，我不需要担心吃穿和其他事。那些日子我过得很开心。但是，有一天我妈妈告诉我放学后她不会再去接我了。我很害怕一个人回家，所以我开始哭，对妈妈很生气。尽管我坚持认为她和爸爸应该保护我的安全，但是他们仍然不同意我的观点。他们认为让我学会独立对我有好处。第二天放学后，我不得不坐公车回家。我上车的时候忘了看路线，所以当车离我家越来越远的时候，我很着急。最后，我到了终点站，然后坐同一路车回家。当我告诉父母我的故事，他们不认为这是个错误，相反，他们认为这是一次有用的经历。从那时候起，我就不再让他们放学后去接我了。
