WritingSample: The Equality in Family Communication Recently, an English website launched a survey with the question “do you think there is communication problem within your family”. 72.6% of the participants believe communication problem do exist in their family. When they were asked what have caused this kind of problem, 31.6% of them think that the way in which they communicate is inappropriate and 27.6% believe it has something to do with the compelling force of parents. Another 23.3% blame for the social problems while the rest 17.5% think that the rebellious children are responsible for that. In my opinion, no matter what caused the communication problem between the family members, we should take active measures to deal with it. For one thing, equal communication should be advocated within the family. Well be more willing to open our heart when were all in an equal position. Equality is essential for parents and children to make friends with each other. For another, the whole family should take part in some activities that all the members are interested in. if the family members can do things together, they will stay with each other longer and of course, will talk more and know each other better. Last but not the least, children should always put their feet in their parents shoes and listen more to their parents. Once the children understand the purpose of the parents they may not be so rebellious and the communication between them will be much easier. All in all, the communication problem within the family should be solved by the joint efforts of all the family members. Text BComprehension.
