Dear Jane,

    Thanks for your e-mail. I have ever had the same experience. I even {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（争吵）with my parents. But now, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（理解）them. We are growing up, so we don't like {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（依靠）on them, but often, it's hard for our parents to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（想象）this. To them ,we are still children and they want to help us.

    Sometimes, it's hard for you to talk to your parents. Here's an idea: Write your mother and father a{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（信）. In it, tell your parents what you are thinking about. Then they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （或许）will understand you better. In your free time, you'd better {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（提供） some help for your parents. For example, you can help your parents do {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（家务活）. You can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （扫）the floor, take out the{#blank#}10{#/blank#} （垃圾）.In order to get on well with your parents, you must try your best to do everything.

    What's more, you can describe your friends to your parents and tell them more about you and your life.

    I hope this helps!

Jimmy

    I'm Tony. My friends are Frank and Cindy. We often do many things together. Frank {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(live) next to my home and we are in the same class. He is thirteen years old and he is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}medium height. He has curly hair and blue eyes. He's good-looking and very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(smart). He's good at math and often {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(help) me with my homework. He likes wearing black pants {#blank#}5{#/blank#} yellow T-shirts.

    Cindy is eleven years old. She is thin and tall. She has curly blonde hair and her {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(eye) are brown. She is good-looking, too, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a little bit shy. She is good at {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(play) the guitar. Her favorite subject at school is music. She often teaches me to play {#blank#}9{#/blank#} guitar after class.

    Three of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we)have great fun together, and help each other and sometimes we play computer games at my house.

    I am a student in a middle school. In my class, there are{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（十六）boys. My friend, David, is one of{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（他们）. His {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（生日）is the same as mine. This year I want to give him a(n){#blank#}4{#/blank#} (/blu:/) pencil-bag, because it is his favourite colour. We always play{#blank#}5{#/blank#} （篮球）together after school on Thursday. When we are  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（累的）, we sit down on the playground and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (/lisə:n/) to the students singing in the classroom. We sometimes go to the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （剧院）on Sunday. But when it is cold, we like doing homework in my home together. My English is good and his {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（数学）is good. We can help each other. We draw  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（图画）together, too. I like my friend a lot.
