Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year a__1__, the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in E__2__, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly.

“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s l__9__,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. “ But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, t__10__ to parents is a better solution. “If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.”
