Parents might disagree aboutmoney, housework or how to spend their time. Theymight even disagree about little things that don’timportant at all—like what’s for dinner or what timesomeone gets home.So, many times when parents disagree, they argue, an argument is a fight using words.Most kids worry when their argue. Loud voices and angry words can make kids feel afraid, sad or upset. Even silent arguments, like parents not talking to each other at all can upset kids.What does it mean when parents argue? First, just like kids, when parents get upset, they must cry, shot or say things they really don’t mean to. Sometimes an argument might not mean anything. Second, just like kids, parents might argue more if they are not feeling well, or if they have other worries.If your parents argue more often, you can talk to someone, like relatives, a teacher or any adult you trust. They can help by telling family members to listen to each other and talk about their feelings without shouting. Though it takes some work, time and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.No family is perfect. Even in the happiest ones, things happen and people argue from time to time.Being part of a family means everyone joins in and tries to make life better for each other. When an argument happens at home, like to your parents and use love and understanding to solve the problems that have come up. Families can solve almost any problem.26.

Students from different schools who are in the same year will attend the social. They will meet up and have a big party! It has music, dancing, stalls, food and fun games to play. People might feel shy at first, but after a little while, they will start hanging out with the new friends they just met.In addition(除此之外), there are some other projects that my school does with the boys’ school. For example, each year in November, the sixth grade girls and boys will work on a drama production. Last year, the drama production was an adapted version(版本) of Little Shop of Horrors(绿魔先生).

Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say“I'll play it by ear”, that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later.“Play by ear”used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you don't necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?33.
