Build a happy family Everyone wants to have a happy family. Our moms and dads are two of the most important people in our lives. But how much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company? Build a happy family Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out loud. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten（使愉快） a parent’s day with a hug（拥抱）, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold（折叠） the clothing or cleans up his or her room without being asked. So, do you have to be perfect? No, of course not! But if you do your best, you will make your parents proud. What’s more, share your feelings and ask them for help when you are struggling with （和……争斗） something. It means you trust and respect them. Anyway, stop complaining that you don’t have a warm family and try your best to build one. Will you do these at home?
