Original –

In China, most people think parents are the most important for us. It make sense! I agree with this opinion.
Chinese parents always give their all to their children. For example, when a woman is pregnant, she starts to consider how to give the baby the best things, like which brand of the milk powder and diapers. When the baby is born, her (his) mother focuses on how to choose suitable toys and books for her baby. When the baby grows up, she considers about her(his) education. And, job, marriage …so on.
Chinese parents are the greatest! They try their best to do everything for their children.

When the baby is born, his or her mother focuses on how to choose good toys and books for her baby. When the baby grows up, the mother considers their education, activities, job and marriage.
