From sunup to sundown, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.‎ ‎　　One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside (拉到一边). “Take away these leaves!” he said. “And don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value (珍视) the importance of doing a job well the first time. It will never fail to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.‎ After two years, my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to cut the grass by ourselves. Every Saturday during my last two years of high school, we set off early in the morning with the same strong wish we had got while working under our father.‎ ‎　　Looking after the garden was neither (既不) exciting nor (也不) high paying, but that didn’t matter (要紧). It taught me that any job was a good job and that what I was paid was more than I had before.‎ ‎　　A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you’re only thinking about hard work and money, you probably don’t want to do any better than you are doing,” I answered. In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.‎ ‎　　If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.‎ ‎46.

This will make talking easy. For example, ask them questions about their day. How’s work? They love this.‎ ‎ Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t stop their talking. Ask them to do the same for you.‎ ‎ Show them respect (尊重) by listening to them carefully. Look at them in the eye.‎ ‎ Be honest (诚实). Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.‎ ‎ If your parents don’t understand. That’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Sometimes you have to explain the things to them again.‎ ‎ When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “Thanks, that helped”. It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.‎ ‎48.
