Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends.They believe that their family members，and in particular（尤其是） their parents，don’t know them as well as their friends do.In large families，it is quite
often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their
friends for help.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends.Even when they are not with their friends，they usually spend a lot of time talking on the phone.This communication is very important in children’s growing up，because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However，parents often try to choose friends for their children.Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.The question of “choice” is an interesting one.Have you ever thought of the following questions？ Who chooses your friends？ Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you？ Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like？
Your answers are welcome.

Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. E. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. F. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
Some people think only school children do not agree with
their parents，however，it is not true. 29. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents，don’t worry about it.Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap（消除代沟）.
Don’t argue with your parents. 30. Your parents probably won’t consider your idea if you are shouting at them.And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry.Go somewhere to cool off.Make sure you understand why you are unhappy.Then think about what you want to say to your parents.If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment，try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise（和解）. 31. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other.Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle.They argued over it.But they finally came to a compromise.Michael bought the motorcycle，but only drove it on certain days.
Of course，your parents might refuse to compromise on something.In these situations，it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 32.
Talk about your values.The values of your parents are probably different from
those of your own.Tell your parents what you care about and why. 33.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.It is worth having a try！

写作：
But I think it’s wrong for you to spend much time on computer games and it’s
right for your parents to ask you not to do so.Playing computer games not only wastes your time but also hurts your eyes.And it’s not good for your study，either.You should
understand your parents and respect them.You should learn to get on well with them.So you must say sorry to them and communicate with them.You should not play computer games any more.Study harder and help to do more chores at home.
