????????Many big arguments begin with small, thoughtless comments. How many times have you started a conversation on friendly terms, then ended up in some kind of dispute that _______? Here are some phrases that can ease potentially unhappy conversations and help you get through the coming years in harmony(和谐) with your companions.
★"Would you like my thoughts?"
One of the biggest complaints kids have about their parents is that they constantly issue orders and judgments. Sometimes this is a parent’s job. But if you are often confronted with an angry response, you might benefit from dialing back. Ask your child if he wants to hear what you have to say. If he says yes, it means he is ready to listen. If he says no, then button your lip. This works for adult family members, too.
★"Why don’t we get the facts?"
If you find yourself in a dispute with your brother about, say, the price of a car, say this, then look up prices online. You can avoid getting into a fight.
★"Let’s wait on this until we have more information."
You’d better know when to deal with a discussion. Sometimes it’s important to remind yourself and your conversation partner that it’s too early to discuss the issue. Preferences will change over time, as do facts, and there’s a right time for discussing everything.
★"Let me get back to you."
Everyone sometimes needs a prepared comment to delay a response. For example, a cousin suggests you prepare a main course for her Christmas party for 20 people. You really don’t want to, but you don’t want to offend her either. So put off responding until you figure out a way that works for both of you.

(One possible version)
In order to help construct a harmonious campus, our head teacher has called on us to make efforts to create a friendly and happy class atmosphere. Our students give lots of good suggestions. Some think that we should learn try to cooperate with each other and respect each other. Some suggest that we organize more class activities so that we have lots of opportunities to communicate with each other. In my opinion, learning to do teamwork can contribute a lot to constructing a harmonious class. Because to do a good teamwork, not only every member in the team must try his or her best but all the members should cooperate with each other to achieve the goal of the team.
