Dear Frank,
I would like to tell you how I solved a conflict. The conflict was between me and my parents. I think, it is quite a typical kind of conflict, but still I want to tell you about how I solved it. You know, my parents, as all normal parents, want me to do a lot of work about the house. I always try to help them, but at the same time I like to go out and have a rest at least on the weekend, and it sometimes happens that I don’t have enough time to do the housework during the weekend when I return from disco. But my parents are such kind of people who usually say (or more often shout) and only after that try to listen to other people’s arguments. So, of course, when somebody is unfairly shouting at me, I become nervous too. I don’t want to explain anything and just go to my room or answer something back. Still, I understand that I shouldn’t argue with my parents because of some silly reasons and I decided to resolve that conflict. At first, I did everything about the house when my parents were out. As they came, they were very pleased by the fact. As they were in a good mood, I decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation with them. I explained that I quite understand my duties by the house, but they should also understand me. I’m young, I want to have some freedom and to have a rest at least once a week. I suggested making a special calender in which I would write what and when I had done during the week. The more I do during the week, the more I can go out during the weekend. My parents approved of my idea and now we don’t argue because of that anymore. I hope my experience will be useful for your readers.
All the best,
Sam.
