Li Wen is a normal 15-year-old boy from the countryside. He works very hard and does well in school. 1. It is hard to believe that he used to be a “problem child until a conversation with his parents influenced his way of thinking . When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family spent a lot of time together. However, things began to change a few years ago. His parents moved to the city to look for jobs, and his grandparents came to take care of him. But he missed his parents so much and he often felt lonely and unhappy.

Li Wen’s unhappiness began to influence his schoolwork. 2.他不再对学习感兴趣。. Sometimes he was absent from classes and failed his examinations. Finally, Li Wen’s parents made decisions to send him to a boarding school. However, Li Wen was shy and not able to make friends quickly in school. He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. 3.His teacher was worried about him and she called his parents. She advised them to talk with their son in person. So his parents took a 24-hour train and a 5-hour bus ride to get to Li Wen’s school。4.令每个人惊讶的是, this conversation changed Li W en’s life . “It was exactly what I needed,” he said. “Now I understand that even though they are busy, they are always thinking of me .They take pride in everything good that I do.” After that, Li Wen ’s parents had much more communication with their son than they used to. Now Li Wen has really changed .He became more outgoing and made some good friends in school. He even joined the school basketball team and became active in many other activities. “I’m much happier now, and I work even harder than I used to. I know my parents love me and they’re always proud of me,” says Li Wen .“It’s very important for parents to be there for their children”. 5.He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class .

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟). Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. 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 to someplace to 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. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. 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(拒绝) to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) 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. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. 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!
