Mother Bird, with all her love and care, Longs to provide her baby with the best. Often, she worries, from day to day- Very soon her baby will be full-grown. Excitedly, it will jump away, Spread its wings and fly alone. Yet, she knows, she must let it fly Over the hills and across the sky, Under her careful, watching eye. MUM LOVES YOU Mother bird has mixed feelings about her baby. On the one hand, she is very protective of her baby. On the other hand, she understands that when her baby has grown up she will have to give it more freedom. However, she will always be there for her baby. My parents give me unconditional love. They love me for who I am. They always have confidence in me. They never lose their temper with me, even when I do not perform well at school. They only tell me that I have let them down, and offer me some advice.

But sometimes I feel shy about how I look, because I look different from my friends. Mentally, I feel more independent in what I do, like making my own decisions. Consequently, I prefer to spend more time with my friends but my parents may get angry with me. In this case, I would speak to my parents so that they understand how I feel. 2.What do you think “strangers under the same roof” means I think it means that parents and teenagers feel as if they do not know each other very well anymore even though they have lived together in the same house for many years. This often happens when children become teenagers because the way they look, think and do things changes. Parents sometimes do not understand or accept these changes easily and teens become angry with their parents. Reading 03 Para 1:Heated arguments and cold silences are common... Para 2:Teenag ... ...
