Your family may have special traditions. Whether making cookies, walking around to enjoy colorful lights, or watching a favorite holiday movie, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love.
Think about the traditions your family already has, then write them down. Ask older adults in your family what traditions they remember participating in as children.
Next, gather the thoughts you and your family may have for brand-new traditions.
Celebrating traditions is a great way to create family memories that last forever. Consider taking photos while you’re spending time together. If you try a new tradition, take time afterward to reflect on it. Did your family enjoy it? Is there anything you would do differently next time? The point of a tradition is to like it so much that you want to do it again.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.
It is time that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation.
Young people make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that they feel cut off from the adult’s world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do.
A.While adults worry more easily. |
B.If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents. |

Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威慑) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
