It’s easy to have a fight in your family. Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your brother or sister, or even you fight with your parents. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. But remember that even people who love each other sometimes fight, so just face it positively (积极地).

It’s also important to tell an adult if your parents hurt you. When the fight happens, you could have a family meeting to talk about it. At the meeting, everyone should tell how they feel and give their advice.

Do you know about Family Day? It was first held in Alberta, Canada in 1990. Its purpose is to make people focus more on the happiness of the family. It is a holiday that gives families a chance (机会) to stay together. In some provinces of Canada, Family Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February every year. People have one day off and they often do some simple and daily things to get closer to their family members.
On that day, there are many kinds of activities. Many people just choose to stay at home to do some cleaning or cooking, or play games together. Hot chocolate and freshly made cookies are the most popular snacks for them. Some families like to go to another city because they want to try something new there. Other people think of the day as a chance to take a short winter break. These activities make family members know each other better.

It is a holiday that gives families a chance (机会) to stay together. In some provinces of Canada, Family Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February every year. People have one day off and they often do some simple and daily things to get closer to their family members.
On that day, there are many kinds of activities. Many people just choose to stay at home to do some cleaning or cooking, or play games together. Hot chocolate and freshly made cookies are the most popular snacks for them. Some families like to go to another city because they want to try something new there. Other people think of the day as a chance to take a short winter break. These activities make family members know each other better.
