He used to be a "problem child', but a recent conversation with his mother changed is life. He didn't use to give his mother many problems. However, after his father's death a few years ago, Martins life became much more difficult. His mother couldnt afford to pay for her children's education. To do this, she had to work, and so was not often at home.His mother looked after him as well as she could. Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems for himself and his family. He was not interested in studying, and he often got into trouble with the police. Luckily, his mother was very patient, and didnt give up trying to help him. In the end, she made a difficult decision: to send him to a boys' boarding school. Martin hated it and used to cause a lot of trouble. One day, he told his teacher he wanted to leave the school. Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting his time. The head teacher said it was necessary to talk with his mother. Martin called his mother, but to his surprise, this phone call changed his life. “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “My mother helped me to understand how much she had given me. She also told me that even though my father was no longer with us, he was watching me, and would always take pride in everything good I do. Thats when I decided to change. I realize that since my father died, I have been afraid of being alone, and have tried to make my mother pay more attention to me.”Now Martin has really changed. He has been working hard, and is now a top student in his class.How was he able to change? His mothers love helped him to feel good about himself, and as Martin himself says, “Its very important for parents to be there for their children.”After you readcopy all the underlined expressions into your notebook.
