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 tobridgethe generation gap (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 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 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!

For Wilson, the two most important things to take with him when he travels abroad are his passport and his mobile phone. He books his plane tickets and hotel rooms through the Internet, and he enters all the information into his mobile phone. "I don't even need to print my tickets out any more," says Wilson. “I can do everything online.”

How people travel and go on a holiday has changed a lot over the past years. Airlines, hotels, travel agencies all have their own websites. People can plan and book their holidays just in some clicks. Today everything is easier, faster and smarter.

In fact, many people do not use guidebooks any more. Instead, they go to travel websites for the maps and information. These websites also let travellers write about and show photos of the sights, hotels, shops and restaurants they have been to. This means other people can read about their experiences and decide whether they want to visit these places too. The Internet has made it easier for everyone to share their experiences and thoughts with each other.

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of China's“ reform and opening up”" policy (“改革开放”政策).

Forty years ago, China was a very poor country where almost three quarters of the population lived in poverty(贫困). So far, China has become the world's second largest economy, next to the United States, and over 800 million people have been lifted out of poverty

What else has changed in the past forty years? Well, in 1980, there were 100 Chinese students studying in the UK. Today, the number is 170,000. Last year, over 600, 000 left China to study in foreign countries.

Another example of that commitment is China International Import Expo(CIIE，中国国际进口博览in Shanghai which runs from Nov. 5 to Nov.10 in 2018. Over 140 countries exhibited (展出) their products, hoping to attract Chinese customers. With a market of 1.4 billion people, foreign countries see a very great chance here, and China recognizes that two-way trade with foreign countries is of importance to the health of the world economy.

The CIIE visitors coming to Shanghai saw a different city from the Shanghai of forty years ago. They saw streets filled with cars where once there were bicycles. They saw modern high-rise apartment buildings where once there were shabby (破旧的) brick houses. But they also saw a thing that hadn’t changed---- the friendly people of Shanghai who have led the way of China's successful reform and opening up.
