3.   Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

 

            When I saw the picture and the title I thought how the children can help to older person.

 

 

4.    Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.

            The article is about how parents can help their children to obtain benefits of being kind and to avoid being contaminated by the self –absorbed culture that surrounds them. Consider three traps that could foster a me-first spirit in your children, and see how you can avoid those traps. They are overpraising- do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest overprotecting - can send the wrong message that they don't need to take responsibility for their actions, and overproviding - be careful not to use stuff as a drug to cover over families issues.

 

5. Vocabulary Use: Choose 05 new vocabulary items (word, collocation or idiomatic expression, etc.) and think of ways that could help you understand/learn these vocabulary items more effectively. Do so in your vocabulary log in your learning journal.
