A
Mom and Dad—they’re two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet.
Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they’re born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids — and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship(关系): Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, or read a book out loudly. Try to spend more time together.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re unhappy. Tell them if you’re sad or have a problem. They’ll be happy to help you.
Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten your parent’s day with a hug, a card or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting(尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.
Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you, re turning into a great kid. Why Because it lets them know you, re doing a good job.

Ⅶ.Dear Mike,
It’s not easy being your age, and it’s normal to have these problems. Why don’t you talk about them with your parents Ask why they give you so much pressure. Free time activities like sports are important, too. If you are stressed out all the time, you won’t get good grades. Secondly, please ask your parents why you can’t keep a pet. You should explain that you will feed the pet and do the cleaning. I hope things will be better for you soon.
Mr. Hunt
