(三) Parents are the first teacher of children. Mum and Dad—they're two of the most important people in your life. You p 1 see at least one of them every day and , over your life time, they're likely to influence( 影响 ) you more than a 2 else. How do you get along with your parents? Here are five ways you can try. Spend time together . Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can go outside together, try to play a game, or read a. book out loudly. If your parents are divorced( 离婚 ), make the most of the time you spend together. You can talk on the phone and email each other. Be kind . Little things might m 3 a lot to your mum or dad. You can make your parents happy all day with-a hug, a card, or a joke. It's also lovely when a kid helps do some h 4 or cleans up his room without being asked. Show you care . In Western countries, families are- always kissing-, hugging, and say "I love you". It's important to show that you care for each other. B 5 kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting( 尊敬 ) each other, and being caring and polite. Share your feelings and ask for help . Many kids say they'd like their parents to help them when they're upset. But your mum or dad might not know that you're having a problem. Tell your parents if you're sad. If you don't usually do this, try it and you'll be glad if you have done it. Do your best at whatever you do . You don't have to be p 6 but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you're t 7 into such a great kid. Why? That's because it lets them know they're doing a good job.
