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, Zhuang Shuxia 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 doesn’t listen to me,” said Zhuang, a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Do you and your parents also have problems? Well, why don’t you all take a walk and have a talk? It’s the International Day of Families on May 15. People around the world give thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems.
A study last year showed that 1,500 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.
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 the young. They love to talk about it.
＊Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the eye.
＊Be honest, and your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.Who are the closest people to us?

A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. Here is an interesting phrase（短语）, “to let the cat out of the bag”. In meaning it is the same as “to tell the secret（秘密）”. And there is an old interesting story about it.
Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually just throw the chickens in cloth (布) bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
