Sometimes, families can be hard. People argue a lot. They get upset. Sometimes they stop talking too. Our family has had lots of ups and downs. I'd say arguments often happen in our family too.

I have an older brother and an older sister. I'm the baby boy in the family. We grew up in quite a small house and often didn't have a lot of money. My mum and dad argued, pretty much all the time, just about anything. My brother and sister argued. And I used to argue.

But as I got older, I always chose to be the mediator (调解员). I would try to look at both sides of the argument and bring them together to make peace. "Dad, you shouldn't say that to Mum, but Mum,

try to see it this way." "Come on guys, we all love each other. It's just been a bad day." I'd say it often worked.

I learned much growing up in our family: understanding, being patient and the knowledge that sometimes things just don't go your way. We all make mistakes. We all say things that we wish we hadn't. The key is to try and understand. Of course, sometimes, arguments do need to happen. If something is wrong, it needs to be solved and sometimes, we get angry about it. But as long as we can reflect and look at things with an attitude (态度) of care and responsibility, we can weather the storm and help each other out.
