Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes， strange but expensive school things， and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return， they only want their little boy or girl to give them good results in the examinations
But why can their children still not understand them? Does it mean that they still want more material（物质的） things? No. As a matter of fact， what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here， we can get warmth， we can get consolation（安慰）， and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident（自信的）in the outside world because we know that we have a family.
So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family， so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more.
1.What do parents expect all of us to do when they give us so much?(不超过15词)
2.What does a true family mean?(不超过15词)
3.How can parents let children know that they have a true family? (不超过20词)
