Two Kinds

1) I believe all parents pressure their child to achieve. I think so because they want their child to do their best at any task. This shows that parents have faith and believe in their child, therefore they want the child to  work even harder at the task.

2) Some conflicts that parents and children may have would be about their rules, grade, future, and privacy.

3) I honestly feel that people could be anything they want to be. I feel that all you have to do is put your mind to the task, block out negativity, and stay focus without letting anyone tell you otherwise.

4) All conflicts do not have winners. It honestly depends on the situation. Some conflicts comes to a compromise. At then end of the situation the conflict will eventually come to an agreement.

5) China parents are different from my parents. In China, parents are very demanding and wants to decide their children future career for them. The child has no say so in the decision. On the other hand, in my family I am able to chose my own future career which is to become a Pediatrician. My parents try to encourage me to stay on the right path and help me achieve my to my career.

My Writing Skills

     When it comes to writing I don't think I have the skills. I could be abysmal in writing. A major error would be word choice. Word choice is to clarify and expand the ideas, and me personally I have simple ideas and details which makes a simple paper. Now that I'm in AP English my word choice should amenity. One way I could amenity my word choice is to do more brainstorming and taking my time to get my ideas down. Sometime I can't think of any topics or ideas for my paper. Another error would be spelling. I'm not abysmal at spelling but I tend to struggle at spelling. I would love to increase my word choice, but the spelling gives me a problem. My major oversight to writing is brainstorming supporting details for my topics. It really aggravate me when I can't think of good details. One way I could alleviate this problem is by paying attention and taking notes. On the other hand, I'm dominant at voice and sentence fluency and voice. Once I determine my main topic sentence the other sentences flow very well. This year would be a progressing year for me in writing and in other obstacles. I already improved in my studying and my grammar. I am looking forward for my English teacher Mr. Rease, to help assuage my errors and obstacles in writing.
