My parents don't listen. How can I communicate with them?

Communication is hard work. It's often easier to say nothing than to talk things out. But you shouldn't make excuses not to communicate — "They never listen anyway", "We will only end up fighting", or "They will just make fun of me".

    You should also avoid(避免) communication killers. When your parents don't seem to understand you, it doesn't take long for you to form habits that kill communication. Some of these communication-killers are:

The silent treatment. You don't speak at all to your parents.

Just putting up with（忍受） it. You say what you think your parents want to hear, but then go out secretly and do what you want anyway.

Bigger, better, and nicer. You tell your parents how much better your friends' parents are.

Running away. You get so frustrated(沮喪的) that you leave the room or the house to avoid further quarrelling.

    Don't get frustrated or give up. Keep the lines of communication open. Just follow the tips

below.

You must always keep in mind that they are your parents and that you have to respect them. If you make a mistake, admit (承認) it, and say sorry. If they do something wrong to you, point it out to them without getting loud or quarrelling with them.

    Listen to what they have to say because parents are wiser about some things and are always trying to protect you. Put yourself in their shoes and when you are talking to them, don't say anything which might be held against you. Don't let your anger put down your character.

Communicate with your parents; don't let the day end without reaching an agreement and make sure that the agreement pleases yourself, as well as your parents. Let it all go; tell your parents how much you love them.

   A. ask them to say sorry   B. avoid it        C. point it out politely  D. forget it

39. Why should we listen to what our parents have to say?

   A. Because they are always trying to stop us from being hurt.

   B. Because they are our parents and we have to respect them.

   C. Because it will make communication easier.

   D. Because they will be angry if we don't.

How to Make Friends

1. It’s hard to make friends if you stay home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people. Join a club or play a sport. Attend meetings or other groups. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.

2. Learn from people who seem to have lots of friends. Watch carefully how they make and keep friends. Don’t copy all of the things they do, but try to notice what they do. Then try some of those things yourself.

3. Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. Don’t hide your strong points. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.

4. Plan things to talk about with people. Find out what’s in the newspaper headlines, listen to CDs, learn about what’s new with your favorite TV or movie star. The more you have to say, the more people will be interested in having a conversation with you

5. Look people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you. It’s very difficult to have a conversation with people whose eyes are looking to the left, to the right, or at the floor. People may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

6. Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me.” Ask lots of questions and show an interest in their answers.
