Im annoyed at my mothers behaviors recently. Yesterday，I came back from school finding my diary looked into. I got angry and questioned my mother. However，she thought she was right，and what she did was good for me. Then we quarreled. I understood she was concerned about me，but I have grown up，and in my mind，the diary is a small box used to treasure my own happy things，sad things and memorable events. Besides，she forces me to stay at home on weekends and stops me going out with friends. Whats worse，apart from study，I cant do anything. She always talks too much to me. She always says “put on your cold.”，”Have you done a good job at school？”And so on. Im annoyed that she treats me as a girl，but Im eighteen years old. I am the only child in my family； therefore，I am the apple in my parents eyes. They love me and free me from any housework. However，I just want to choose my own life and live as a grown-up independently.

2. 找出写作要素：写概要前，应在文中找出并标明以下关键句或关键词：

Who：

What：

Writers opinion：

3. 组合关键词句：

谈想法

要点⑴：首先写出主题句：读完这篇文章，心里为作者感到很难过。说出原因：孩子生活在母亲爱的牢笼里，失去自由。

要点⑵：首先写出主题句：理解母亲的做法，但这种做法是不正确的。然后提出支撑主题的理由：孩子已经长大，有独立的个性和隐私，过度的干预会导致家庭矛盾，并且使孩子失去自我，不利于身心发展。

练习二：读写任务

阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

I was fifteen months old，a happy carefree kid... until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit，which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. Trying to save the eye，the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut，leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye.

And as I grew，this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me.

I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Sometimes people，even strangers，asked me embarrassing questions or made hurtful remarks. When the kids played games，I was always the“monster（怪物）”. Yet Mama would say to me，at every turn，“Hold your head up high and face the world.” It became a belief that I relied on. She would hold me in her arms and say，“If you hold your head up high，it will be okay，and people will see your beautiful soul.” She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide.

In high school I was successful both academically（学术上）and socially. I was even elected class president. My mamas love and encouragement was the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. Now，I have had a bravery to face adversity（不幸，灾难），and learned not only to appreciate myself but also to have deep compassion （同情，怜悯） for others.
