1 . Yesterday, my 15-year-old brother Tommy had a fight with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. Later, I heard Kevin crying (哭) in his room. I _________ outside his room and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk?” No one spoke. I tried again. Still _________ happened.

So, I took some cards and wrote, “If you don’t, you can write your problems on them, and we can try to find some good _________ to solve them.”

An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside his _________ with two pieces of paper in my hands. One was new and the other was from Kevin. As I _________ it, tears (眼泪) came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family _________ me. Tommy thought I was too noisy and Dad wished to have another kid because I can’t study well. You’re _________ around to stay with me.”

He was right about my part. I wrote back, “Kevin, I do love you and you know that. I’m here for you and everyone loves you in this _________.” After a while, a piece of _________ appeared with “Thanks for loving me” on it.

From then on, Kevin and I have a __________ relationship. When one of us feels that the other is unhappy, we’ll smile and say “Write it on a piece of paper”.

9 . How to Bring Family Closer

Strong family bonds (纽带) can encourage better behaviors in children and teach them how to be a good friend.    1    

Set aside time for family.    2    By keeping this day on a regular schedule, everyone will know that they need to keep that day clear for family time. Then the entire family can get together for a fun activity.

Eat meals together. Choose a few nights during the week when you expect everyone to gather around the dinner table. Studies have shown that eating meals together has a positive effect on children’s physical and mental well-being.    3    Don’t allow phones. What’s the most important is that you come together and enjoy a meal free of distraction (分心).

    4    Make cleaning your home a responsibility for the whole family. Create a list of housework and have everyone sign up. Then set up a time during the week or on the weekend when everyone can do their housework together.

Encourage support. Feeling supported by your family is one of the most important things in building strong family bonds. Bonds like these will last your kids a lifetime. They will enjoy these strong bonds when they are your age and even after you are gone.    5    

A．Do housework as a family.

B．Try to set aside a regular day every week.

C．That’s why you create a sense of support.

D．As a result, never feel bad about taking a break.

E．Remember that your children learn by example.

F．Just eat a meal and have a conversation together.

G．Here are some tips to help bring your family closer.

10 . Sugar Goldtree was my Grandma. I loved her. Everyone called my grandma “Sugar”. Every time I heard it, I would smile a huge smile.Grandma Sugar had a small house with a large garden. She worked all year long preparing that garden. She would always tidy the garden carefully. She would till the soil until it was like fine sand.

Grandma Sugar would tell me that if we plant the corn in one place this year, then the next year we would need to plant it in another spot. She would always say,“Fill your garden with flowers, The bees will buzz (嗡嗡地飞) around your head when you are picking those nice little cucumbers (黄瓜). After all, they helped to make our plants so beautiful.”

“We are about ready to plant some sunflowers,” Grandma Sugar said, handing me a packet of seeds. I carefully placed the seeds in rows, and covered them with soil, stepping on top of the soil to pack it down. Grandma Sugar sat at the edge of the garden making signs to put at the end of each row, with a date on it. Each year we would keep those signs in a book with photos of me and Grandma Sugar in our garden.

Grandma Sugar had a whole basket of seeds to plant. One by one,we planted rows of corn, beans, cucumbers, onions, lettuce and tomatoes. In the middle of summer, I would run down to the garden with a basket. Grandma Sugar would yell (大赋),“Pick a salad from the bed, little sugar!”
