Behaviors My Parents Taught Me

    

     We always learn many kinds of behaviors from our parents. There were theree most important kinds of behaviors that my parents taught me--to abide by laws/rules, be honest, and respect people.

     First, my parents taught me there were many law/rules in the social. We needed to abide by them, because we couldn't action without the rules. My parents always told me why we needed to abide the rules such as traffic rules or etiquettes of eating the meal. Certainly, they also abided by these laws/rules.

     Second, the honest was another behavior my parents taught me. When i was a child, i told a lie to refrain from some punishments sometime. Nevertheless, my parents always gave me more serious punishments when they knew i told a lie. They taught me the worst thing wasn't i do something wrong, that was i try to cover the mistake by the lie. When I told a lie, and then I need another bigger lie to cover the first lie.

     Third, my parents taught me how to respect people. Actually, they didn't tell me in words, they taught me that by their behaviors. We lived with my grandfather for twenty years, my mother respect him much. Everyday, my mother got up earlier than my grandfather, and cooked breakfast for him. My parents always smiled, listened what he said, and helped what he did, even they were forty years old. In other hand, my parents also respected teachers. They always asked my follow what the teachers said. When teacher needed them to finish some requirements, they always did their best.

     In short, my parents is my most important models to learn the behaviors that how we live in the social. I will teach my children the good behaviors that my parents taught me.
