Zhang Ming.a college graduate from Shandong,created a 9-page“WeChat guide”(微信指南)toparents.With drawings and simple words,the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages,take pictures and make video calls.“My parents are getting old.They need an easy way to learn how to usetechnology,”Zhang said.

Zhang’s experience is common nowadays.In the world,40%of parents learn about new technology,

including computers, mobile Internet and social media(社交媒体),from their children,according to a survey from the International Communication Association.Parents teach their kids almost everything when they are young.Now for the first time, the teachers become the students and the students become the teachers.

The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology,according to ZhouXiaohong,a professor from Nanjing University.Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children more ways to get information.So,it's possible that children know more than their parents do these days.

According to the China Internet Network Information Center,in China,56.7%of Internet users and 67.2%of social media users are under the age of 30.Young people usually act as a link between their family and the new environment.But when they teach their parents new technologies,parents can connect to the new world by themselves.

In Zhang Ming’s eyes,teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents.“People can communicate more by using new technology.Why should we keep our parents out?”said Zhang.

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going

How to Start a good conversation

“Hi,my name is Sara.”“I’m Frank. Nice to meet you.”

Introductions,like the one above,are a great way to begin a good conversation.When you introduce yourself,be confident and comfortable.That will make others comfortable,too.After the introduction,wait a bit.If the other person doesn’t ask a question,you ask one.Starting with a question shows interest in the other person.You could ask” What do you do?”or“How do you know our host?” But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different.“What did you do last weeked?”and“Have you seen any good movies recently?” are two topics you could ask about.Another good way to start with is” Tell me about yourself.”Most people love talking about themselves.

How to keep a good conversation going

As the other person begins to answer your question,look for the same opinion.If you ask about last weekend,the person could talk about a bike ride they took.When the person finishes his opinions,you could mention an experience that you had with biking.You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in.

When the other person is talking,be interested in them.Listen carefully to their answers.Don’t look around the room.That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them.

If you are answering the question,don’t go on and on.Answer the question and then stop.A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth.

With some practice,you’ll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone!
