In a few years，Amazon. com had 10 million different things in categories including books，CDs，toys，electronics，videos，DVDs，things you use to fix up a house，software，and video games. Today you can buy anything from food to gold rings at a“virtual shopping mall”，that is，a group of stores all over the world that works like group of stores all in one place.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.
Don't argue（争辩）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.
Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values （价值观）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
Is communication a problem only for parents and school children?
How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?
What should you do when your parents refuse to accept your reasons?
