My name is Jenny Lin. I’m a second genera-

tion Taiwanese American. My parents came to Amer-

ica in 1981, two years before I was born. My mom

was a typical Taiwanese mother: very, very strict. Chi-

nese mothers believe that school is the most impor-

tant thing. My mom never let me bring home a grade

lower than an ‘A’. An ‘A minus’ was a bad grade. After school, she made

me do math and spelling drills for two hours. After that, I had to practice

the violin for three hours, even on weekends or during vacation. She

wouldn’t let me stop practicing until I could play perfectly.

My childhood was different from other kids’. My mother didn’t let

me watch TV or play video games, she never let me spend the night at a

friend’s house or have a play date, and she didn’t let me join any clubs at

school. The only activities she let me do were those where I could win a

prize, and that prize had to be the first prize. One time when I was in ele-

mentary school, I won second prize in a spelling contest. My parents were

there. They were so disappointed in me. My father told me never to em-

barrass him like that again.

13. What did her father tell her? He told her...

Many people think that my parents were too strict, but I don’t think

so. Chinese parents, especially Chinese mothers, are different from

Western parents. In America, if a child is doing poorly in school, the par-

ents will most likely blame the teacher. But Chinese parents blame only

their children. If I got a bad grade on a test, my mother sided with the

teacher, never with me. She said that it was my fault and made me study

harder. She believed in me and expected only the best from me. My

mother never let me give up because she knew that I could be great.

6. これまでのレッスンでは、‘make’には好ましくない意味があると学んできまし

た。 1. My parents made me wear a tuxedo. (I’m not happy.)

2. My boss made me work late at night. (I’m not happy.) 2つの会話文を読みましょう。 A: What makes you sad, Joey?

B: A rainy day makes me (feel) sad. C: What makes you feel happy, Stacy?

D: My cat, Nana Chibi, makes me (feel) happy. これらの会話では、‘make + (me) + (feel) + 形容詞’のパターンが使われていま

す。‘feel’は省略することができますが、省略されても意味は変わりません。A/Bの会話の‘make’は好ましくない意味(makes me sad)ですが、C/Dの会話では、

好ましい意味合い(makes me happy)が含まれています。故に、‘make + (me) + (feel) + 形容詞’で使われた場合の‘make’には否定的な意味と肯定的な意味のど

ちらも含まれます。

先生に次の質問をしましょう。先生の答えを注意深く聞きます。それからあなた

の答えを書きます。最後にペアを組んでパートナーに聞いてみましょう。

What makes you (feel)... 1. happy? (A sunny day) makes me happy. How about you?

2. sad? (Seeing a homeless animal) makes me feel sad. How about you?

3. angry? (Smokers) make me angry. How about you?

4. frustrated? (Bad traffic) makes me feel frustrated. How about you?

5. embarrassed? (A bad grade) makes me embarrassed. How about you?

6. excited? (A baseball game) makes me feel excited. How about you?
