Chris used to stay anxious and stressed all the time. He was troubled by the fact that he had to bear all the expenses of the house and responsibility of the whole family and that relatives kept visiting his place.

Thinking about all these things, he used to scold (训斥) his children and quarrel with his wife on one or other issue. Gradually, the atmosphere at home was very tense.

One day when he was angry with himself for the mistake he made at work, his son Dan came to him and said, “Father, please help me with my homework.” Chris scolded his son and asked him to walk away. But later when he calmed down, he went to his son’s room and saw that his son was asleep, holding a copy of his homework in his hands. Chris took the copy and looked at it quickly. He was about to put it back when he read the title of the homework. It was—Things That We Don’t Like at First but Later Realize That They Are Good.

The child had to write a paragraph on this title. Out of curiosity, Chris started reading what his kid had written: I am thankful for my final exams because they upset me in the beginning but after that there are school holidays. I am thankful for medicines that taste bad because they taste bitter at first but they cure my illness. I am thankful for my alarm clock that annoys me but wakes me up every morning and tells me that I am alive. I am also very thankful that I have such a good father because his scolding makes me feel very bad at first but to some extent helps me make some progress in my learning.

参考范文：

After reading his son’s homework, Chris was lost in thought. He realized that his son had a deeper understanding of life than he had expected. The boy saw the good in things that seemed unpleasant at first, and even found value in his father’s scolding. Chris felt a wave of guilt wash over him. He had been so focused on his own stress and anxieties that he had neglected to see the positive impact his tough love was having on his son. He understood now that his scolding, though harsh, was a way of pushing his son to become better.

Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed. The tension in his shoulders eased, and a smile spread across his face. He decided to change his approach to parenting. Instead of scolding and quarreling, he would try to communicate more effectively with his family, sharing his feelings and concerns instead of bottling them up. He would also make an effort to appreciate the good in every situation, just as his son had done. Chris knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but he was ready to make the effort for the sake of his family’s happiness and harmony. From that day on, Chris made a conscious effort to be a more understanding and supportive father, and the atmosphere at home gradually became warmer and more loving.
