We had a task in an english lesson, and here is my answer :)
I chose task one and viewpoint task 1 (the task was to write what message this quote meant to deliver)

I chose the quote; “If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson, hold yourself up as a warning and not as an example.”  – George Bernard Shaw


I think this quote tells us that you shouldn’t try to form your children in your own picture and let them be just like you. When he says that you should hold yourself has a warning and not an example I think he means that you should try to make your children “better” than you, meaning that there is always imperfections in a person that can be approved. Every parent wants what is best for their children, showing them their own good sides and concealing what may not be so positive is a good start.
