Q Dear Dale, I’ve been a crazy soccer fan since I was 9. I love soccer games, but my parents are angry with me about my habit, although they like watching soccer games too. Should I give up my habit?Mike Wang A Dear Mike, When we grow up, our parents set examples for us that we should follow if we want to be good people. However, they’re still allowed to do things that we’re not, even if we don’t agree. It may seem like that’s unfair, but as we all know, being a teenager usually isn’t fair. At the moment, you’re a high school student who’s studying toward your exams, so your parents want you to concentrate on (全神贯注于) your schoolwork more than your hobbies. That’s understandable, as not all of us have time to do whatever we like, whenever we like – even as adults. Your parents just want you to be the best student you can. However, maybe you could come to an arrangement (安排). For example, perhaps you could watch a soccer game with your parents once a week, after all your homework is done. That way, you could enjoy your hobby and be a good student at the same time. Life is all about compromise (妥协), as you’ll soon learn. While it’s great to have hobbies and interests, we still have to work hard and be responsible (有责任的) before we can enjoy them. Once you’re an adult and get a job, you’ll figure out that hobbies are only a small part of life – most of it is about working hard. In the meantime, however, you’ll soon see how watching your favorite team is even more fun after you’ve worked extra hard for it. Dale |  |
