Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however,
it is not true. 31 If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't
worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don't argue with your parents. Don't gct to your parents when you are angry.
Your parents probably won't consider your idea. And you can't express yourself well
if you are angry. 32 Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then
think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to
them at the moment, try writing a letter.
33 Pcrhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your
disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree
with him about buying a motorcyclc. They argued over it. But they finally came to a
compromise-Michael bought the motorcyclc, but only drove it on certain days. Of
course, your parents might refuse to compromise on somcthing. 34 Showing
respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably differcnt from

Many would agree that when we think of Christmas, we probably think of gifts
Christrnas trees and Santa Claus. But behind all these things lies the true meaning of
Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us
The story in A Christmas Carol is perhaps the best example of this
A Christmus Carol is a famous short novel written by Charles Dickens. It is
about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs or smiles. He is mean and only
thinks about himself. He docsn't treat others nicely. He just cares about whether he
can make more money and he hates Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the
ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to be just like Scrooge.
so he was punished after he died. He warns Scrooge to change his ways if he doesn'
want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge to expect three spirits to visit him
That night, three ghosts visit Scrooge. First, the Ghost of Christmas Past takes
him back to his childhood and reminds Scrooge of his happier days as a child. Ther
the second spirit. the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see how others are
spending Christrnas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the
Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the futurc. Scrooge secs that he is dcad
but nobody cares. He is so scared that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only
the next morning-Christmas Day!
He decides to change his life and promises to be a better person. He happily
celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now
treats everyone with kindness and warmth, spreading love and joy everywhere he
goes. And that is the true spirit of Christmas!
