One day I was watching a movie at home and tears dropped from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me why I was crying. I   31  slient as I couldn’t explain to him it was just an emotional thing. To my surprise, he  32   my face with his little hand and said, ” Dear Mom, stop crying! You see  33   will be fine. You’re my good girl. So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him saying this to me I could not help  34   .It was so funny for a child to say so .Later I  35   that he had repeated(重复) almost the  36   thing that I told him when he was crying.

The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to  37   what his parents have been telling him for a long time. Usually parents  38  with the words ”Mama” ,”Papa” and so on .But as the child  39   learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being  40   ,we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored by us.

We always use words that we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words, we  42    where he has learned them. Even then , some of us don’t realize that the child has learned the words only from us only. 43   We start to put the blame ( 指责) on either his friends or somebody who has talked to him when we are not present.

So if you want your child to have perfect   44   , you’ll have to set a good example to him. And if you can’t do this, you have no right to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great  45   over his child.
