2、p，you need to let other persons know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate，you drift apart(疏远).When you are mad at your parents，or anyone else，not talking to them doesnt solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you cant just come home from schoo
3、l，go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say “Hi”，and see how their day was for five minutes，it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary，it would say “the exchange of ideas，the conveyance(表达)of information，correspondence (通信)，means of communic
