书面表达(One possible version)
A good parent-child relationship is expected, but there are often problems. As for children, they don’t trust their parents and are unwilling to communicate with them. Some children lose their temper easily because of the study burden, while some parents tend to neglect their children’s ideas and try to impose their own ideas on them. How can these problems be solved? In my opinion, children should be considerate and respect their parents. When they disagree with their parents, they should tell them. On the other hand, parents should learn to listen to their children’s ideas instead of deciding everything for them. In this way, a good parent-child relationship can be established.
