Review the text
Discussion: The topic for our discussion today is “Parent-teen Relationship”. A. Brainstorm and list words and expressions related to the topic.
critical irritating annoying out of date silent careless open mature patient can?t see eye to eye scream fight quarrel disagreement stay out late jumping to conclusions poor communication misunderstandings independence privacy pressure too high expectations respect self-control
B. Free Discussion: Based on the discussion above, we know that though good willed，parents can be really annoying to children and the key solution is that the two sides work to establish ground rules together to build a harmonious parent-teen relationship. Then, let?s now discuss the question: “What can we do to build a harmonious relationship with our parents?”
First and the most important thing: Listen patiently
Mark Twain once said: “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” This tells us that most time our parents give us the right suggestion. Even when they are wrong, it would not hurt us to just listen to their ideas.
Second: Grow up
Grow up. If we want our parents to stop treating us like a child, make sure we never give them an excuse by acting like one. That means no yelling or whining, no matter how much they irritate us.
Third: Keep our parents in the loop
Keep our parents in the loop. We don?t have to tell them everything, but the more open we
26
are with them, the less they?ll feel the need to pry. Remind ourselves that our parents want what?s best for us.
Fourth: Show them respect
Show them respect. If we wouldn?t roll our eyes, openly mock, or constantly interrupt a friend who was saying something we disagreed with, then don?t do it to our folks. Part C: Skill Development A. Video-based Writing
Watch the video clip again and write a composition on the topic Spending Quality Time with Parents Is Important. Base your composition on the outline below: Spending Quality Time with Parents Is Important
What is generally believed nowadays is that adolescents, instead of spending quality time with their parents, prefer doing other things, such as making friends online or hanging out with their peers. The time adolescents spend with their
parents is so little that they even don?t know their parents well, which leads to little communication and poor understanding. Therefore, spending less time with parents is wrong.
It is of great importance to spend quality time with parents. Reasons can be seen as perspectives as follows. To begin with, spending quality time with parents is a good way to establish intimate relationships. It serves as a great opportunity for teenagers to get to know parents about their past, their experiences or their favorite things. Parents, on the other hand, can gain insights into their children to know their feelings. Thus, mutual understanding can be cultivated. Secondly, spending quality time with parents is a good way to get parents and children relaxed and refreshed. Usually parents have to work to support their families and children have to go to school. So spending quality time together means an opportunity for both to have time to enjoy themselves. They can do something active, try something new, play games or just laugh with each other to build strong connections.
