　　Hi，TigerMom，

　?、賅hat puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China.②My idea is that it is not quite right for you to do so.

　　③Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future university admission，development in ore，________. wisdom，emotion，health，and life attitude should never be ignored.④There are many examples around us.⑤Some all-A students in school have turned out not to be as suceessful in society as they were expected.

　　⑥The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities.⑦Furthermore，punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically. ⑧So I suggest that you take your friends’advice.⑨More importantly，let her live like a lovely girl；let her have more friends and social activities；and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers

　　often do.
