Learn to Get on with our Parents
Hello! Everyone,
Today my speech topic is “Learn to Get on with our Parents”. These days, most of us feel it hard to get on with our parents. We often get angry with our parents and even don’t talk to them for several days.
Here are some of the reasons. First, our parents only care about our grades and it makes us feel stressed. Second, we don’t want to communicate with them.
It’s time for us to change. First, we should communicate with them more often. Then, we should help to do more housework to show our love for them. Finally, we should achieve a balance between our schoolwork and hobbies so that they won’t feel worried about us.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
