It was a hot afternoon and my best friend Stephanie and I decided to have an adventure in his basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green. Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are going to paint. She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldnt wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mothers face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the ear door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, What on earth were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors trees, but this! Come inside right now! I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.Now go clean it up! Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone.

The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student. So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant. The waiter made sure of it.After serving all the teens doing a great job, he was left a tip, only $3.28. That was hardly enough to buy a drink at Starbucks.The waiter went home. And he felt hatred for the students who did not know the value of hard work. They looked down on people like him. Or so he thought.After several days, the waiter forgot about it. His life went on as usual. But ten days later, he received a letter from the teens.About a week and a half ago, on October 7, my three friends and I came to eat at this restaurant as our own homecoming celebration. It was an exciting experience for us to be here alone, and it was all new to us. And you were the best waiter we could ask for. You were kind, helpful, and didnt treat us like babies! So I want to say thank you for making our grown-up experience so amazing and fun.I would also like to say sorry on behalf of my group. Since we were new to all of this, our 13-year-old minds didnt exactly know how to deal with the bill. The bill was reasonable, but we had completely forgotten (and didnt know, to be honest) what a tip even was, let alone how much to give. So we emptied our pockets, and all our money added up to $3.28.Having no idea of how small this really was, we left. Later, we realized our mistake and felt terrible. We knew we had to make it right.So together with this letter, you will find the correct 18% tip + extra for simply being amazing.

If its hard for you to communicate with your parents, dont worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟).Dont argue with your parents. Dont get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably wont consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you cant express yourself well if you are angry. Go to some-place to calm down. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you dont 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. Michaels mother didnt 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 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.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.
