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

    Like many middle school students，Zhuang Shuxia has a problem．  She said，“I really want to be my Daddy’s little girl”．But it seems that he just doesn’t understand me．He talks at me and doesn’t listen to me．

    Do you and vour parents also have the problem like this?

    May 15 is the International Day of Families．People around the world give thanks for good things about their families and world on family problems．Why don’t you all take and have a talk on that day?

    A report last vear showed that among 2000 Beijing families，about 1500 students had the same problem as Zhang．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 children 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，for example，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 them!

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

    Be honest．Your parents will trust you more．And a trusting family is a happy family．

    Everyone needs friends．There is an old saying，“Friends are God’s way of taking care of us．”But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

    The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree．You plant the seed(種子)and take care of it to make it grow．

    First．you should choose a friend．What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks．A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心的)．For example，if you have a bad day，a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help．To make a friend．you can’t be too shy．You should make each other happy and share your lives．

    But things can’t always be happy．Even the best friends have fights．What should you do when you have a fright with your friend? You have to talk to him or her．When there is no one around, have an honest talk，you could write a letter．

    There are three steps to being friends again：

    Tell him or her how you are feeling；say what your friend has done wrong，and explain why you did this or that．Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life．
