Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna noted.

　　 Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

　　 Before they are 11, children like to tell their parents what they are thinking and worrying about. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained, “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

　　 Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

My English teacher at school was not very good. She was not a native speaker. She was always angry and she felt uncomfortable about speaking English in front of us. We did a lot of grammar and reading and writing. I did what she told us to do. I studied when I was told. I finished my work when I was told. I was a good student. I got As, but even after four years, I could hardly say a sentence in English.

Later I realized how stupid I had been. When I went to university, I met a boy called Nori. He had studied English at school too. His English teacher was worse than mine! However, it didn’t stop him. He studied on his own. He made friends with English-speaking people and met them every week. He spoke English on the Internet and he wrote to other English speakers. He watched his favorite English movies many times and repeated the actors’ lines. He knew every line of The Lion King! His English was great.

I realized that the difference between us was that I blamed my teacher. I thought she wasn’t a very good teacher, so I couldn’t learn English very well. It wasn’t my fault. But Nori didn’t blame anyone. He just did what had to be done to achieve his goals.

Meeting Nori is probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. It changed the way I thought about a lot of things. Now I take responsibility for my decisions and achievements. I am more successful in learning English and in life generally.
