There are lots of ways to be a good parent. And today I’like to talk about, uh, three stories about my experiences with parenting. Well, first of all, when I was growing up, I think I was very fortunate to have good parents. My parents both worked very hard, but also took the time to make sure that they taught Australia valuable lessons and spend time, uh, with us every day. I remember that we would always have dinner at the dinner table together, and my mother and my father would ask me and my siblings questions about our day and make jokes with us. Um, they are very important people in my life up to the date. Um, next, I would like to talk about some great parents I know today. They are my friends who are new parents. M even though they are still learning about how to be good parents. I watch them lose sleep each night and sacrifice their own comfort regularly for the sake of their baby. The mother is so patient. Even, uh, when she has not had time to take a show or relax, he always smiles and plays with the baby. I’ve noticed the father works hard, and even after a long day, he still takes time to give his wife a break when he comes home from work so she can have some time to herself. The couple is not only kind to their baby, but they are also kind to each other. For my last story, I’m going to tell you about a tv show I saw that has influenced, uh, how I think I want to be a parent in future. The show is called parenthood, and it is, uh, a sitcom about a few different families. Although they are very, well, different, the thing that holds them together in their support, honesty, uh, together is their support, honesty and love from one another. I hope that when I become a parent someday, I can give my family the same amount of all of those things. And by be accepting of my children, even they are different from how I expected them to be.

There are many ways to be a good parent, and today I'd like to share three stories about my experiences with parenting. First, growing up, I was fortunate to have wonderful parents. They both worked hard but always made time to teach us valuable lessons and spend quality time with us every day. I remember having dinner together at the table, where my mom and dad would ask my siblings and me about our day and share jokes. They are incredibly important people in my life to this day. Next, I want to talk about some amazing parents I know now. They are my friends who are new parents. Even though they are still learning the ropes, I see them sacrificing their sleep and comfort for their baby's well-being. The mother is incredibly patient, always smiling and playing with the baby, even when she hasn't had a chance to rest or relax. I've noticed the father works hard and, even after a long day, takes time to give his wife a break when he gets home so she can have some time to herself. They are not only kind to their baby but also incredibly supportive of each other. For my final story, I'll tell you about a TV show that has influenced how I envision myself as a parent in the future. The show is called 'Parenthood,' and it's a sitcom about several different families. While they are all unique, what unites them is their support, honesty, and love for one another. I hope that when I become a parent someday, I can provide my family with the same abundance of these qualities. I want to be accepting of my children, even if they are different from what I expected.
