Last summer holiday，Aunt Emily took us to a safari park （野生动物园），not far from Liverpool.
I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before.It' s a very interesting park，full of wild animals running freely.
When we got there，we bought our tickets and drove into the park.We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions.But to get to the lion' s place we had to go through the monkeys' land first.And that was an experience because they climbed all over the car，ate apples and bananas，and threw all kinds of things at us.They seemed very unfriendly.
Anyway，we went on our way to the lions' place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous.A lion came up very close to us.The next thing we knew，it was on the bonnet （车盖）.It looked calm but we felt terrified.Aunt Emily，who isn't very brave，started to call for help.The kids started crying.Only my brother，George，stayed cool.I sounded the horn （喇叭） but nobody heard us.
In the end a guard arrived in his car，and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard's hand as if nothing was the matter.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication 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 are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
