• 1．April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain.Started at first in the Unite States and brought to Britain in 1994，Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15.On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places.The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons and raise their self-confidence.
     For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society.But actually， "girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys，whether it is a pilot，a nurse or a chief executive，" says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust，an organization which supported the activity of the Day. "Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work." Schools and many companies support their activity too.Palmers' Green High School for girls，in north London，has made the day necessary part of careers education.
     Zarina Bart，15，from Palmers' Green，went with her mother to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day.She found it interesting to see her mother at work. "It's really strange seeing Mum at work---running around，getting serious and telling people what to do." She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother's footsteps.Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
     Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life.Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls.If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them，this will give a lot of help to girls.Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

     One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. "Please God，I can't do anything more for my son.I'm at the end of my rope.I'm giving the whole thing up to you." I was at work when I got a phone call.A man introduced himself as the headmaster， "I want to talk to you about Karl's absences."

"I love my son but I just don't know what to do.I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school but nothing has worked.It's out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line.The headmaster seriously said， "Thank you for your time" and hung up.
     Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades.Finally，he even made the honor roll（光荣榜）.In his fourth year，I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl.I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had improved himself.On our way home，he said， "Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year？" I nodded.
