我非常喜欢陈先生一家人。他们家里有4个成员，陈先生，他的老婆和女儿以及他的父亲。他们住在上海的徐家汇，就在我家附近。我以前是陈先生的女儿的英语家教。陈先生是一名公务员，他的夫人在企业里做人力资源的总监，他的女儿Casey今年上小学4年级了，陈先生的父亲已经退休了，他以前是一个工程师。他们的家庭氛围非常和谐，每个人都对彼此有充分的尊重，特别是亲子关系。

I like a family called the Chen family very much. There are four members, Mr. Chen, his wife Grace, his daughter Casey and his father. They live in the Xujiahui area of Shanghai, and their apartment is right next to mine.

I used to serve as Casey’s Englishhome tutor（英文家教） when I was in my senior year in college. Wegot acquainted (变成熟人) quickly, and after my graduation, westayed in close contact（保持紧密联系）. Every weekend, I would pay them a visit.

Mr. Chen is a civil servant, and his wife is the head of human resources in a huge multinational company. His daughter Casey is in grade 4 this year, and Mr. Chen's father has retired from his job as an engineer.

Their family atmosphere is very harmonious, and everyone has full respect for each other, especially the parent-child relationship. For example, Casey has the freedom to choose which courses she would like to enrol in – whether it’s piano, fencing, violin, dancing, etc. She can quit whenever she wants, but she must be fully responsible for herself. This is what I have never experienced in my own family. My parents were very strict, and they made rules for me to follow without asking me if I liked them or not. I know that children need discipline, but how much discipline is a very important question.
