C 新语篇 母亲给儿子的信 (2025·苏州常熟期末)
Dear Joseph,
Today you are thirteen years old. Everyone says it, but where has the time gone?
Life was not easy after you were born, but I loved you with all of my heart. What I want to tell you now is how proud I am of the young man you have become.
You have faced so many challenges(挑战), and my heart is filled with pride each time—how you keep getting better at your language, how you make progress (进步) in your swimming, and how well you do in dancing.
These days, I am thinking about how people see you. So I asked those who love you to describe you in one word. Their answers surprised me: confident(自信), kind, funny, lovely—just to name a few. I hope you'll remember
these in the future, if you ever feel unsure about yourself.
There's another word people often use: autistic(患自闭症的). When you're older and ready to understand, I'll explain(解释) what it means.
Your mind works differently from others. You find it hard to talk about how you feel when you're sad, and when things are difficult to deal with, it worries you. You enjoy being around people, but making friends isn't easy for you. I know many people love you, but you're still learning to share your feelings.
One day, you'll move to a new school. You won't have your childhood friends with you, but I hope this change will bring new chances. The new school will have teachers who understand your needs and can help you learn important life skills, like how to manage money or live on your own. This step is part of growing up, and I'll always be there to support you.
Finally, of all the words people used to describe you, I would say, the one that stands out most is "perfect". You are perfect, and you will always be.
Love,
Mummy
