Journal 15

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is an expression in English, meaning that a child is similar to his/her parents in appearance, personality, habits, and other ways, too.  Do you think this is true?  Do you know any children who aren't at all like their parents?   Some children resemble one parent more closely than another - both in looks and in behavior.  Why does that happen?  How about you: which parent are you most like?  Or are you one of those unusual children who isn't like either parent?
