Describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem.
從早到晚，鳥兒媽媽隨時待命，
直到她的孩子長大，可以離開溫暖的家。
鳥兒媽媽，用她全部的關愛，
渴望給孩子們最好的關懷。
鳥兒媽媽常擔心，日復一日——
她的孩子很快就要長大了。
它會興奮地跳開，
展開翅膀，獨自飛翔。
然而，她知道，她必須讓孩子飛翔，
越過山丘，掠過天空，
在她仔細的注視下。
She has mixed feelings about her baby:
◆ On the one hand, she is very protective of her baby.She is worried about its flying away by itself.
◆ 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.
How would you describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem
Song of the parting son
From the threads a mother’s hands weaves,
A gown for parting son is made.
Sown stitch by stitch before he leaves,
For fear his return be delayed.
Such kindness as young grass receives
From the warm sun can’t be repaid.
（許淵沖譯）
《游子吟》
唐·孟郊
慈母手中線，游子身上衣。
臨行密密縫，意恐遲遲歸。
誰言寸草心，報得三春暉。

答案 B
Questions
“Why can’t they just let me go ” you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient—sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.

Para. 3
It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy.
