Parents are the closest people to you in the world．They love you just because you are you．And they would do anything for you．

    Like a lot of middle school students，ZhuangShuxia has a problem．She and her parents don’t get on well．

    “I really want to be my Daddy’s little girl．But it feels like he just doesn’t understand．He talks at me and doesn’t listen，”said Zhuang，a Junior 3 student

    Do you and your parents also have problems?

    Well, why don’t you all take a walk and have a talk on Saturday? It’s the International(國際的) Day of Families．On May l5，people around the world give thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems．

    A study last year showed that l,500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhuang’s family：The children，12 to 15 years old，didn’t like talking with their parents much．They weren’t happy at home．

    Of course，lots of kids feel that way．But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends．Here are some ways to have a good talk with them：

    Find a good time to talk，like when you’re eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV．

   Tell them something you’re interested in，or ask them about their lives when they were young．They love to talk about it．

   Listen to them carefully，and look them in the eye．

   Be honest(誠實(shí)的)．Your parents will trust(信任)you more．And a trusting family is a happy family．

American people like to say“Thank you”when others help them or say something kind to them．People of many countries do so，too．It is a very good habit．

You should say“Thank you”when someone passes you the salt on the table，when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door open for you，when someone says you have done your work well，or you have bought a nice thing，or your city is very beautiful．“Thank you”is used not only between friends，but also between parents and children，brothers and sisters．

“Excuse me”is another short sentence they use．When you hear someone say so behind you，you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you．It’s not polite to break others when they are talking．If you want to speak to one of them，say，“Excuse me”first，and then begin talking．You should also do so when you begin to cough or make any noise before others．
