與父母談心英語作文：Heart-to-Heart Talks with Parents

Our research team conducted a survey among the local children on how much time they usually spend per week talking with their parents. According to the survey, children spend less time having heart-to-heart talks with their parents when they grow older. For example, the 7-9 age group spends as many as 6 hours per week on average, while the 16-18 age group spends only half the time talking with their parents.

我們的團(tuán)隊(duì)針對當(dāng)?shù)氐暮⒆觽冏隽艘豁?xiàng)關(guān)于“他們每周大約花多少時(shí)間來和父母交流”的調(diào)研。調(diào)查顯示，隨著子女年齡的增長，他們與父母之間的交流會(huì)越來越少。例如：7到9歲時(shí)，他們每周大約能和父母交談6小時(shí)左右，但是到了16-18歲時(shí)，他們與父母交流的時(shí)間還不到相處的一半。

There are three major reasons for this. 60% of the children think they have few topics in common with their parents. Another 20% say both parents and children are too busy working or studying to have a talk. Others even consider it useless talking with their parents, arguing that it does little good to their studies.

對于這種現(xiàn)象，主要是以下三點(diǎn)導(dǎo)致的。60%的孩子認(rèn)為他們很少與他們的父母有共同話題。另有20%的人認(rèn)為父母和孩子雙方都忙于工作或?qū)W習(xí)。甚至還有人認(rèn)為與父母交流對自己的學(xué)業(yè)毫無用處。

In my opinion, having regular heart-to-heart talks is a good way to form a good relationship between parents and children. As children we should first show respect to our parents, looking on them as our close friends and letting them know what we are interested in. Secondly, we should learn how to be a good listener.

在我看來，經(jīng)常和父母交心、談心，是跟父母形成良好關(guān)系的一個(gè)好方法。作為孩子我們首先應(yīng)該尊重我們的父母，把他們當(dāng)作我們最親密的朋友，讓他們知道我們的興趣是什么;其次，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)習(xí)如何成為一個(gè)好的傾聽者。
