D
Most Chinese parents have great expectations(期望) for their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced(被迫) to fulfill the dreams that their parents have planned for them.
In my opinion, there are two sides of parents' expectations. The expectations can encourage children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends largely on his or her parents' expectations. However, unrealistic(不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Parents' expectations can take children's freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them only by their grades.
My parents' expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure(压力) on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.
In a word, I think parents' expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence.
