Ⅲ. Get on well with parents.
At Tingting's home, the three girls are talking with Tingting's mother. Read their conversation and answer the questions. (B= Bai Xue, J= Jenny, M= Tingting's mother)
B:How well you and your parents are getting on, Tingting! I love my parents and I really want to get along well with them like you. I want to be my daddy's little girl. But it feels like he just doesn't understand. He talks with me but doesn't listen. What about you, Jenny?
J:Oh, I think my parents and I get on well. We are like friends.
B:You are lucky.
M:Don't be sad, Bai Xue. A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same problem as your family. The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn't like talking with their parents much. They weren't happy at home.

B:But what should I do?
M:Why don't you all take a walk and have a talk on Saturday? 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. I think you should often talk with your parents like friends. 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 eyes.
◇Be honest. Your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.
Please remember parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you and they would do anything for you.
B:Thank you, Aunt Ma. I'll try to do as you said.
