How to Communicate with Your Parents
Do you sometimes feel that your parents just don’t understand you? Many teenagers face this problem. The good news is that communication can be improved with some effort. Here are some tips.
First, choose the right time to talk. Don’t start a serious conversation when your parents are tired or stressed. Find a moment when everyone is calm and relaxed.
Second, be respectful. Even if you disagree, speak in a polite tone. Avoid shouting or using rude words. Show that you value their opinions, even if you don’t agree.
Third, be a good listener. Let your parents share their thoughts without interrupting. Try to understand their point of view. They might have reasons you haven’t considered.
Fourth, be honest. Share your feelings openly. If you’re upset, say so calmly. Hiding your feelings or lying will only make things worse.
Finally, be patient. Good communication takes time. Don’t expect everything to be solved in one conversation. Keep trying and show that you care.
Remember, your parents love you. Even when communication is difficult, they want what’s best for you.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to argue with parents. B. How to communicate with parents. C. Why parents don’t understand teenagers. D. How to make parents happy.
27. When is a good time to talk to parents according to the passage?
A. When they are tired. B. When they are stressed. C. When they are calm and relaxed. D. When they are busy with work.
28. What does the writer advise you to do when you disagree?
A. Shout to show you are angry. B. Use polite language. C. Leave the room. D. Pretend to agree.
29. What does the underlined word “interrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. 打断 B. 倾听 C. 理解 D. 批评
30. What does the writer suggest at the end of the passage?
A. Give up if communication is too hard. B. Be patient and keep trying. C. Only talk to parents when necessary. D. Find someone else to talk to.
C
① Have you ever wondered why some people seem to make friends so easily while others struggle? The secret often lies in their communication skills. Good communicators know how to make others feel comfortable and valued.
② One important skill is empathy — the ability to understand how someone else is feeling. When you show empathy, you are saying, “I hear you and I care.” This doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything they say, but you should acknowledge their feelings. Simply saying “That must be really hard” can make a big difference.
③ Another key skill is asking good questions. Instead of asking “How was your day?” — which often gets a one-word answer — try asking “What was the best thing that happened today?” This encourages people to share more and leads to deeper conversations.
④ It’s also important to be aware of your body language. Crossing your arms or looking at your phone can make the other person feel ignored. Instead, make eye contact, nod, and show that you are paying attention.
⑤ Remember, good communication is not just about talking — it’s about connecting. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. Start small, and soon you’ll notice your relationships becoming stronger.
31. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to make friends quickly. B. Skills for good communication. C. Why some people are shy. D. The importance of body language.
32. What is empathy according to the passage?
A. Agreeing with everything others say. B. The ability to understand others’ feelings. C. Asking good questions. D. Making eye contact.
33. What kind of question does the writer suggest asking?
A. Questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no”. B. Questions that encourage detailed answers. C. Questions about people’s jobs. D. Questions that are easy to answer.
34. What does the writer say about body language?
A. It is not as important as words. B. It can show whether you are paying attention. C. It is the same in all cultures. D. It should always be avoided.
35. Which structure best shows the passage?
A. ①—②③④—⑤ B. ①②—③④—⑤ C. ①—②—③④—⑤ D. ①②③—④—⑤
D
Have you ever had a misunderstanding with a friend? Misunderstandings happen when people don’t communicate clearly. 36. ______
One common mistake is assuming that others know what you mean. We often think our message is clear, but it may not be. 37. ______ This can lead to confusion and hurt feelings.
Another problem is using the wrong medium. Sometimes we send a text message when we should have made a phone call. Texts can easily be misunderstood because they lack tone and emotion. 38. ______
