Read the essay and choose the correct answers to the questions below.

Many teenagers nowadays find it difficult to get along with their relatives. So, what can we do to build up good relationships with the people around us and avoid big quarrels?

To begin with, it is important to remember that the conflict is always about the situation, not the person. The result would be more constructive work on the problem and less useless personal offences.

Another solution would be to try to understand what people really want from you. Analyse the words and make wise conclusions. Each person has their own unique problems and traits of character. This means simply thinking about other people's needs next time you have a misunderstanding. Again, it can reduce aggression and create a respectful dialogue where both sides hear each other.

Finally, it would be a good idea to be ready to say sorry when it's necessary. If people could do this, there would be fewer arguments and conflicts in our society.

To sum up, there are many ways to calm a quarrel and start a constructive discussion. Applying some of these ideas would help teenagers to be heard in their families.
