6(江苏省姜堰市溱潼中学高一10月月考) Living
and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing
with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything
in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you
disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other
person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift
apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them
doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with
the concerns (关心) of
another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room
and ignore (不理睬) everyone.
Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is
better than nothing.
If you looked up the word
“communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the
conveyance (表达)of
information, correspondence (通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must
keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by
writing a note.
When dealing with parents,
you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If
you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll
listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you.
Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one
night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be
home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to
go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her
along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were
mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad
and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s
parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of
trouble.
Communication isn’t a
one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation
like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key
factor to communication.
