Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But during the summer vacation in 2011,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their son: suddenly he seemed to be talking more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always closed” Joanna said.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14?year-?old daughter. “She used to sit with me on the sofa and talk” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated(對待) like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list” said Michael Riera the writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the ten years” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents are the best persons to help their children because they know what's going on in their children’s lives. To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental(心靈的)break, because children also need freedom.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children, is a better way to know them.

There is an old Chinese saying, “If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should give a spring of water back to him or her.”That means if someone helps you a little, you should remember it and thank them more in return.

We should live in a world of thanks. We should thank people, even though they hurt us, because他們教我們重要的事情。We should thank people, even though they give us up, because we learn how to be independent(獨立). We should thank people, even though they are selfish(自私的)because we learn the importance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people when they help us, teach us and care about us.

We thank our parents.他們?yōu)榱私o孩子更好的生活而努力工作。They cook meals for us；They do chores for us; They teach us what is right and what is wrong.

We thank our teachers. They give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but ask for nothing from us.

There are a lot of people in our life. We should find a way to thank them.

My name is Mary. My friends are different from me. My best friend Betty is shorter and more outgoing than me. I am quiet and I like reading very much. Betty likes sports and she plays ping-pong well.

I’m Peter. I like to have friends and they are like me. It can be very helpful. I’m a little quiet and my good friend Rick is quiet, too. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with my problems and he can tell me what I should do, because he knows about me better than people who are different from me.
