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.

Friendship can’t be measured (测量) nor can it be weighed. We stopped a few people on the street to find out what part friendship played in their lives. Here is what they said.

My best friend Mark and I really enjoy spending time playing basketball every evening. Even over 10 years after college, we still get the same amount of joy when playing basketball together.—James, 34

The importance of friendship in my life is more than what I can put into words. My childhood friends recently pulled me through hard times when my father died. —Gemina, 38

I didn’t realize the importance of friendship until it was too late. I didn’t keep in touch with friends, but now I have realized that life is much better with friends around. —Tom, 42

(Are we all learning something from Tom’s lesson in life?)

We all should wake up and realize the true importance of friendship because friends accept you for what you are, not for what you can be. —Jane, 21

(Jane has hit the nail on the head, do you think so?)

My friends and I love sharing a beer each weekend. Everything in the world can change but not our dates with our beers. For me, the importance of friendship lies in enjoying the time we spend together with nothing to worry about. —a policeman (who was on duty at the corner of the street)
