七、阅读理解

A

My best friend Emma and I have been close since primary school. We used to spend every weekend together, but recently we had a big argument over a small thing. I wanted to go to the cinema, but she preferred to stay at home and play video games. I thought she was being lazy and she thought I was being pushy. We didn't talk for a week. I felt lonely and sad.

Then my mother advised me to write a letter to Emma. In the letter, I expressed my feelings without blaming her. I told her that I missed our time together and that I respected her choice of hobbies. The next day, Emma called me and said she was sorry too. She said she had also missed me. Now we have made a plan: we'll do different activities each weekend, sometimes going out and sometimes staying in. Our friendship has become even stronger because we learned to compromise and communicate better.

Good communication is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. It involves not just speaking, but also listening actively. When you talk to someone, make eye contact and show that you are paying attention. Avoid interrupting even if you disagree. Listening doesn't mean you have to agree; it means you respect the other person's right to express their views.

Another important aspect is body language. Crossing your arms or looking away may give the impression that you are defensive or bored. Instead, keep an open posture and nod occasionally to show understanding.

Also, think before you speak. Words can hurt or heal. Choose your words carefully, especially when you are angry. Using "I" statements, such as "I feel upset when..." helps you take responsibility for your emotions without blaming others.

Finally, ask questions to clarify. If you're not sure what the other person means, ask politely. This prevents misunderstandings and shows that you care about what they have to say. Good communication takes practice, but it is well worth the effort.
