Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents,however,it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents,don't worry about it.Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don't argue with your parents .Don't get to your parents when you are angry.Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them.And you can't express yourself well if you are angry.Go some place 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 .Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.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.Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
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.Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.It is worth having a try!

參考譯文
有些人認為,只有上學的孩子才和父母不和氣,其實,情況并非如此。交流對任何年齡段的父母和孩子都是問題。如果你很難和父母交流,不必擔心,這里有幾條建議可以幫助你消除代溝。
不要和父母爭辯 。生氣的時候,不要往父母跟前湊。如果你對著他們大喊大叫,他們更不會考慮你的意見。這個時候,你也無法很好地表達自己的觀點。找個地方冷靜一下。確保你找到了不開心的原因。然后想想打算對父母說些什么。如果你覺得在當時的情況下,無法對他們開口,不妨試著寫封信。
盡量達成和解 。也許你和父母在某件事上意見不一。你可以保留自己的觀點,但也要盡最大努力彼此妥協(xié)。邁克爾的母親不同意他買摩托車的要求。他們?yōu)榇藸幊尺^,但他們最終達成了和解。邁克爾買了摩托車,但只能在某些日子開。
當然,你的父母可能在某件事上拒絕妥協(xié)。碰到這種情況,對他們表示愛和尊敬就顯得特別重要。表示尊敬,將使你們之間的關系更穩(wěn)固。
說出你的價值觀 。你父母的價值觀很可能和你的不同。告訴他們,你在意什么,為什么。了解你的價值觀有助于他們了解你的生活目標。
和父母建立良好的關系,能使你成為一個更完美、更幸福的人。這值得一試。
