Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you’re their children. And they’d like to do anything for you. Like a lot of middle school students, Mary has a problem. She doesn’t get on well with her parents. “I really want to be my daddy’s little girl. But my father just doesn’t understand. He talks with me but doesn’t listen to me,” said Mary.
Do you and your parents also have problems? Well, why not take a walk and have a talk with them on Saturday? A study of last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same problem as Mary’s family. The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn’t like talking with their parents much. They weren’t happy at home. Of course, lots of kids feel that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends.
Here are some ways to have a good talk with them: Find a good time to talk, like when you’re eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV. Tell them something you’re interested in, or ask them to talk about their lives when they were young. They love to talk about those! Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the eyes. Be honest. Your parents will trust (信任) you more. You’ll have a happy family.

Many students are taking part in after-school tutoring (辅导). I’m afraid I can’t keep up with my studies if I don’t do the same. Should I try this myself? Abai |
| Dear Abai, You’re not alone in this matter. I used to be pretty bad at math. I took part in after-school tutoring three times a week. My tutor gave me homework, just like our teachers in school. It made me feel really tired. So after about two months, I decided to give up. I listened more carefully in class and started to think about questions on my own. By doing this many times, I did better in my study. You should find the way that works best for you. Don’t just do what others do. Find your weakness and try to overcome it, no matter whether you are tutored or self-taught. Li Ming |
| Dear Abai, It’s good that you want to improve your schoolwork. Every student should have this goal. You should do everything you can to raise your grades. However, not every student likes to study in the same way. Some people do prefer to have a one-on-one tutor. Others prefer to learn in groups. Some simply like to study on their own. The key is to find the way that works best for you. My suggestion would be to try a tutor first. You can see how the first few tutoring lessons go. If they don’t help you improve your work, you can stop. But the decision is up to you. Mike |
