Do you know crosstalk? It's also known by its Chinese name xiangsheng. It is a famous Chinese show in the form of a dialogue usually between two people. It came into being in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty (the mid - 19th century). It began as a form of street show, and it also borrowed from other arts, such as Beijing Opera. No matter what the form is, the crosstalk show just wants to make people laugh.

Crosstalk is one of China' s most important and popular performing arts. Modem crosstalk usually has four skills——speaking, imitating(模仿),teasing(逗乐)and singing. Some stories come from everyday life, popular ideas and hot news. Some come from history stories. During the show, sometimes one actor is angry with the other because of their different ideas. Crosstalk is full of fun with singing, different sounds, musical instruments, and even crying. So if something makes you unhappy, you can enjoy crosstalk.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. 1. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).

2. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. 3. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. 4. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

A. Don’t argue with your parents.

B. Tell your parents what you care about, and why.

C. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.

D. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other.
