    "full_text": "我很早就希望能有机会来中国学习汉语，现在这个愿望终于实现了，心里有说不出的高兴。\n\n从去年夏天起，我就忙着联系学校，办各种手续，可是，这一切都是瞒着我父母做的。我是独生女，如果把这件事告诉父母，他们多半不会同意，因此，我只跟朋友和教我汉语的老师商量，把一切手续都办好以后才告诉他们。他们听了，果然不太愿意。爸爸说："你现在的工作不是挺好吗？"妈妈说："你不打算结婚啦？"\n\n说实话，对于将来要做什么，我还没想好。可是现在，我就是想学汉语，想到中国——这个古老而又年轻的国家去看看。我对父母说："我已经长大了，就像小鸟一样，该自己飞了。我要独立地生活，自由自在地去国外过一年，然后再考虑今后的打算。"父母知道我的性格，决定了的事情是不会改变的，而且他们也觉得我的想法是对的，就只好同意了。\n\n妈妈要我到中国以后，每个星期都给她打一次电话。爸爸说："最好常常跟我们视频聊聊天儿，告诉我们你在中国的一切。"我答应了。临走前，他们给我买了好多东西，拼命地往我的箱子里塞。\n\n爸爸开车把我送到机场。离别时，他还还望着我不停地挥手，妈妈也在擦眼泪。看到父母恋恋不舍的样子，我的眼泪也一下子流了出来。\n\n到中国以后，父母总是嘱咐我要注意身体，注意安全，努力地学习，愉快地生活。\n\n为了表达我对他们的爱和想念，也为了让他们放心，我也常跟他们说我在中国遇到的有趣的人和事，有时还得他们哈哈大笑。",

    "translation": "I have long hoped to have the opportunity to come to China to study Chinese. Now this wish has finally come true, and I have unspeakable happiness in my heart.\n\nSince last summer, I have been busy contacting schools and handling various procedures. However, I did all this without telling my parents. I am an only daughter. If I told my parents about this, they would most likely not agree. Therefore, I only discussed it with my friends and the teacher who teaches me Chinese. I told them only after all the procedures were completed. When they heard about it, they were indeed not very willing. Dad said: 'Isn't your current job quite good?' Mom said: 'Don't you plan to get married?'\n\nTo tell the truth, I haven't thought clearly about what to do in the future. But now, I just want to learn Chinese and go to China - this ancient yet young country - to have a look. I said to my parents: 'I have grown up, just like a little bird, I should fly by myself. I want to live independently, freely go abroad for a year, and then consider future plans.' My parents knew my character - once I decide something, it won't change. Moreover, they also felt that my idea was correct, so they had no choice but to agree.\n\nMom asked me to call her once a week after arriving in China. Dad said: 'It's best to video chat with us often and tell us everything about you in China.' I agreed. Before leaving, they bought me many things and desperately stuffed them into my suitcase.\n\nDad drove me to the airport. When saying goodbye, he kept looking at me and waving his hand, and Mom was also wiping away tears. Seeing my parents' reluctance to part, my tears also suddenly flowed out.\n\nAfter arriving in China, my parents always urged me to pay attention to my health, pay attention to safety, study hard, and live happily.\n\nTo express my love and longing for them, and also to reassure them, I often tell them about the interesting people and things I encounter in China, sometimes making them laugh."
