亲爱的爸爸、妈妈，你们好！爸爸、妈妈是你们含辛茹苦地把我培养大，在我的成长过程中，让你们欢喜，让你们忧愁。我有很多的心里话想对你们说。

dear mom and dad, hello! mom and dad are you who have worked hard to bring me up. in the process of my growth, let you be happy and sad. i have a lot to say to you.

我是一个听话的孩子，每次你们没在家的时候，我自觉地做自己的事情。记得有一次，爸爸和别人换课没回来，妈妈又加班。我一个人在家做完作业后，你们还没有回来，我实在饿极了，我自己做好饭后，吃了第一餐没有菜的白米饭，然后按平时休息时间睡觉了。你们回家，直夸奖我，当时我心里乐滋滋的，很久没有睡着。

i am a obedient child. every time you are not at home, i consciously do my own things. i remember one time, my father and others didn't come back from changing classes, and my mother worked overtime again. after i finished my homework alone at home, you haven't come back yet. i'm really hungry. i made my own meal, ate the first meal of white rice without food, and then went to bed according to the usual rest time. you go home and praise me. at that time, i was happy and didn't sleep for a long time.

从七岁开始，你们就教我扫地、洗碗。现在的我已经会做许多的家务事，替你们分担家务事、减少负担。是你们让我变成一个人人都夸的女孩子。我从心里感谢你们对我的爱：“谢谢你们，我的好爸爸、妈妈！”

since i was seven years old, you have taught me to sweep the floor and wash dishes. now i can do a lot of housework, share housework and reduce burden for you. it's you who make me a girl that everyone praises. i thank you from my heart for your love: "thank you, my good father and mother!"

但是，我最近发现你们不许我和一些我喜欢的同学交朋友，说是怕我沾染上了一些坏习惯。我不能理解，我有区别事情好坏的能力，我有自己的主见。你们有你们的亲戚、朋友、同事……而我为什么就不能有一片属于我的天空，难道我能在你们的“花园”永远成长下去吗？希望你们多给我一些自由，多给我一些理解和支持！

however, i recently found out that you don't allow me to make friends with some of my favorite classmates, saying that i'm afraid that i've got some bad habits. i can't understand. i have the ability to distinguish good from bad. i have my own opinions. you have your relatives, friends, colleagues and why can't i have a sky that belongs to me? can i grow forever in your garden? i hope you can give me more freedom, more understanding and support!

爸爸、妈妈，我会做一个乖孩子的，希望你们幸福快乐！

mom and dad, i will be a good child, i hope you are happy!
