Dear Mary，

It was so nice to read your letter the other day. I have always dreamed about having a pen friend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be the very best of friends. It is my wish that our letters will let us get to know each other and share parts of our lives.

Your horse Shannon sounds beautiful. I am very jealous (羡慕的) that you get to live on a farm. I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.

Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.

I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though. I will have to go to my local library and find some. I also enjoy dancing and often enter competitions. My other favorite hobby is ice skating. In winter, I skate in Central Park. In the other seasons, I go to an indoor rink (溜冰场). I am hoping to start entering ice skating competitions next year.

Anyway, I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!

Lots of love，

Megan

My friend Emily has three amazingly well-behaved children.They put their toys away when she tells them to, go to bed without making any noise, and even settle their own disagreements or quarrels.I actually witnessed her 3-year-old son John calmly asking for a truck back from a friend who had pulled it out of his hands suddenly.

Emily admits that her children have their moments —“They are kids after all！”— but she says that real discipline (纪律) challenges are not very often.“What's your secret？”I once asked, hoping she could impart some much-needed wisdom.“Do you threaten them with punishment, give them time-outs or praise them with prizes？”I asked.Emily shook her head and said, “Nothing like that.If I've done anything right, it's that I've made it clear what I expect from them from the beginning.Now, all I have to do is set them an example and shoot them a look, and they know to control their behavi or and obey rules.”

It may sound too good to be true, but experts agree that Emily has the right idea about

teaching kids to behave.“When you make your expectations clear from the time your children are old enough to learn to walk, they accept or absorb those expectations and begin to expect the same thing from themselves，” says Sharon K．Hall, author of Raising Kids in the 21st Century.In other words, since kids naturally want to please their parents, they'll try to behave in the way that you've taught them to.In fact, experts say that kids as young as 18 months can understand and respond to their parents' expectations.

There is good news: Teaching self-control to a young child isn't as worrying as it sounds.“If you set out firm rules, tell them why, offer lots of praise and follow rules yourself at around age 2, your child will catch on faster, resist less, and finally behave better，” says Sharon.
