2. 代沟和家庭生活
   
   
   我知道很多中学生抱怨和父母之间有代沟，觉得父母不了解他们，很少跟他们交谈，更没有时间倾听他们的想法。有时他们甚至跟父母争吵，影响和睦的家庭生活。我觉得经常沟通对缩小代沟有很大的帮助。
   
   
   我和父母关系融洽。我们每天吃晚饭的时候都会聊天。我们聊电视里的新闻，聊学校的事情，聊一年后我上哪个大学、学什么专业。我们还常常一起遛狗，周末一起去买东西。
   
   
   我的父母和大多数中国父母一样，对我有很高的期望。尽管我们有不同的爱好，有时我们的想法也不太一样，但是他们愿意倾听我的想法，理解、尊重我的想法，让我有自由做我喜欢做的事情、选择我喜欢的专业。而且，不管他们有多忙，他们都会在我需要的时候跟我交谈、给我帮助。
   
   
   我非常尊敬和孝顺我的父母。我知道他们很忙，妈妈身体又不太好，所以我会帮着做家务，打扫房间、给小狗洗澡等我都做。父母很高兴我能体谅他们。可见，要和父母有融洽的关系、缩小代沟，父母和子女都需要作出努力。
