1. In the past, I misused figures as decorations. I put them in the text to beautify the web page.
For example:
Sometimes I was too busy to go to a nice hairdressing saloon and had a good haircut. I once cut my hair by myself.

2. In the first example, I just gave a description and put my picture; however, I did not refer to the figure in my text. The best way is putting the sources in my text.
The revised example:
Sometimes I was too busy to go to a nice hairdressing saloon and had a good haircut. Several weeks ago, I cut my hair on my own. Take a look at the first figure, and you might notice my neat bangs. Yes, I made it!

In the revised example, my readers will easily realize the link between the text and the figure. Figures are not only decorations but also visual sources.
In my first reflection, I have cleared up my issue, four annotations, and conclusion. Then, I want to ask myself:
WHAT WAS MY ORIGINAL MOTIVATION?
Obviously, I hope that modern parents can make self-examination about their attitude toward education of children. Modern parents take their busyness for granted. They mostly depend on third parties to educate their children. However, the best and direct way is that parents have more interaction with their children. They still can make good use of their fragmented time like dinner time, or even share their leisure time with children.
I was also born in a double-income family; my parents were always busy at work. I had to go to the cram school after school because my parents could not take me home immediately until they finished their work. I had not eaten delicious dishes my mom cooked for a very long time; she was so tired after work that she did not want to cook. As a result, I had few opportunities to interact with my parents because I did not want to disturb them. Gradually, I used to have few interactions with my parents. When I grow up, they started to notice the indifferent relationship between us. They tried to make the relationship better; however, they did not know how to do and what to do, neither did I. Thus, the theme I chose was also originated from my personal experience. I once had a naive appeal that I could go back my childhood and ask my parents to share more time accompanying with me. As so, I will finish my paper and maybe some parents can reflect on themselves. For some, it is never too late to make the parent-child relationship better, laughing as brilliant as the second figure. (Figure 2)

What you wish to say is the ironic situation in this modern society that we seem to love other people more than our families. We volunteer to entertain the elders who we have never met but spare to give time to our kids. We spend much more time in the office working or chatting with our colleagues than at home telling bedtime stories to our kids. Is philanthropy good for our society? Do you or your parents value indiscriminate love?
