3. An example of picture one
One day, my best friend ,Xiao Ming, introduced a piece of rock music to me.I like it very much. So when I got home, I was too impatient to wait to listen to it. I lost myself so deep in the music that I didn’t pay attention to the volume. Just then my mother shout at me, “Do you have to turn your music so loud?” I was surprised and had to come back to the fact. I found my father looking at me angrily, who was working at the desk. My young sister covered her ears with hands. I disturbed them. So I had to turn off the radio. I knew I made a mistake, but I wish they could know how I love this piece of music.

6. Discussion
If you were parents, how would you release your children’s “growing pains”?

7. Summary
In our growth most of the time we are happy, but sometimes we were troubled by “growing pains”. Our parents not only love us but also be strict with us. On the one hand, they protect us like a tower tree; on the other hand, they always give us a warning and encourage us to become a real man. But we should understand them and let them understand us. We should believe “as long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands”!

8. The song of “growing pains”As Long As We Got Each Other
Show me that smile again
Oh, show me that smile
Don’t waste another minute on your crying
We’re nowhere near
The best is ready to begin
All in a cloudy daze
I look into your eyes and see them shining out
Holding you close this way
Holding you this way
I like having summer everyday
Promise me here and now
Nothing but jokes will never come between us
You can depend on me
Cause I need you like the air I breath

9. Ooh, ooh As long as we got each other
We got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreaming
As long as we keep on giving
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharing the laughter and love
Promise me here and now
Nothing but jokes will never come between us
You can depend on me
Cause I need you like the air I breath

Baby, rain or shine
