Chen Yujie studies at a boarding school in Ningbo, Zhejiang. She used to go back to her home in Cixi every week (get) money from her parents.
It was not a short ride home and the trips were tiring. Chen hoped her parents could put the money on a bank card, she didn't have to travel so often.
She decided to discuss with her parents during TV time after dinner. "It's usually the most relaxing time for our family," said Chen.
She the right time. After a few turns of lobbying(游说), her parents agreed with Chen. For most teenagers like Chen, talking to parents can be difficult or even worrying. So they have to choose a right time.
American magazine Highlight recently surveyed 1,521 (kid) aged 6~12 in the country, asking questions like" When you want to talk to your parents about something important, when is best time to do it?". Results show that American kids seem to know when their parents are most receptive(乐于接受的). Mealtime is discovered to be their favourite time to talk to their parents. Bedtime comes (two), followed by time spent in the car.
(China) teenagers seem to have a similar tendency(倾向) towards the problem. A newspaper in Zhejiang did a survey it. The result shows most teenagers in the city would choose mealtime to talk to their parents.
So do you have anything to talk to your parents? Choose a good time.
