Generally speaking, the relationship between us students and our family members and classmates as we
79、ll as teachers is good. However. there exist some problems. Some students in our grade easily lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. Whats worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing.In my opinion, we
80、middle school students should make effort to improve the situation. First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second. when we are not feeling good or happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice. Third. after a days hard work. we can re lax by exercising, such as playing basketball table tennis and so on.
