But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First, we tried setting three fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. They my son had the idea that everyone could tell me his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while, children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they’d rather spend their time with their friends playing sports. Gradually though, they began to see these evenings together as interesting and helpful. We liked it a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months, anyone who had to miss the family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel we’ve been able to build up much stronger relationships within the family than we had before.

Text 4 When Rachel was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to her mother, a 38yearold professional musician. ―Please don’t touch, Rachel,‖ her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $20210. But Rachel persisted, she longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Rachel was handed a package: a tiny violin, about half the normal size. Almost from the moment Rachel was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years, mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overe. One day Robert, an American musician, heard Rachel playing the violin. He couldn’t believe she was just eight years old. ―She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States.‖ the American musician said. A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and remended her for a full scholarship. In 1982, Rachel and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a fortable life in Japan.
