5 . Your family may have special traditions, particularly during this time of year as the holidays approach. Whether making cookies or watching a favorite holiday movie, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love. You can enjoy established traditions or create new ones together.     1    .

Consider current traditions.

Think about the traditions your family already has, then write them down. For example, shared traditions might be going to a favorite ice cream stand on vacation every summer or making a cherished family recipe.     2     There could be some they might have forgotten but may enjoy reviving (重新记起).

    3    

Next, gather the thoughts you and your family may have for brand-new traditions. Add those ideas to your list. For instance, you could discuss making a special once-a-year outing, like going to a nice restaurant. Traditions can also be super simple. For example, on Thanksgiving Day, you could volunteer at a soup kitchen to serve others. Also consider beginning new food traditions.

Get your relatives on board.

    4    . Think about who those people are in your family, whether it’s a parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent. They can help you with creating the “guest list” for any special family gathering, picking a date and time, and planning a video call with loved ones who may live far away but still want to share in the fun.

Create a keepsake (纪念品).

Celebrating traditions is a great way to create family memories that last forever.     5     Then you can display one in a frame to remind your family all year long of the fun you had. You can also create a special DIY craft (工艺) or scrapbook. These visual reminders can strengthen the bond within the family.

Family meals are important in living with a family. A recent survey    1    (show) that most children and their family share a meal at least four times a week.    2    my point of view, this is a positive sign, because dining together is able to benefit family members.

9 . My father really dislikes my stepfather, Mike, and is always calling him names, saying what a “good-for-nothing” guy he is. Mike knows about his name-calling because sometimes when my father comes to pick me up, he’ll say inconsiderate things right in front of my stepfather like, “Is what’s-his-name going to pick you up after the game, or am I supposed to bring you home?”

Even though it’s rude, my stepfather doesn’t hold it against my father. “I’ll pick up Shawn at 3:30,” he’ll answer. Nor does Mike make a big deal out of my father’s inconsiderate attitude towards him. He lets the comments go.

I ask my stepfather if the way my father treats him bothers or upsets him. “Oh, not really,” he says. “You don’t always have to be right, as long as you do what’s right.” My father’s taunts (嘲笑) don’t bother Mike because he likes himself. My dad’s opinion doesn’t change the way Mike feels about himself.

I really admire Mike. He’s so good to my mother. And what a good father he is to me! I appreciate all the things he does for me, like teaching me to throw a fastball and helping me with my homework without becoming impatient like my father does. Mike even volunteered at my school’s carnival (狂欢节) this year. No other stepfathers were there.

Though I would never tell my real father that I think my stepfather is one of the nicest guys I know, he is. I’m happy to make Mike my stepfather. Sometimes, I even call Mike “Dad” because he acts like a dad to me. In my eyes, my stepfather is a really great guy.
