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

Communication(交流) 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 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!

In May, 1976, Gaynor was a nine-year-old girl and lived in North Wales. One day, on her way home from school, she saw a silver(银色的)object(物体)in a field not far from her home. The object looked like a saucer.

Gaynor was very scared. She stayed behind the tall grass and watched the door of the strange object open. She saw two aliens wearing silver suits get out. Then they used something to examine(检测)the ground. They were short and had pink eyes. After about thirty minutes, the two aliens went back into the object. Then it took off.

When Gaynor got home, she told her mother about this unusual experience, but her family decided to keep quiet about it. They didn’t want others to laugh at their daughter.

However, 18 months later, Gaynor told her story to UFO scientists. They found out that Gaynor told the truth.
