In the past, I didn't get on with my parents. I hardly talked to them, because they liked to 1 me with my sister and that made me 2 . I sometimes argued with them about this.
However, I wanted to show them that I could do things as 3 as my sister. Then I began to spend most of my free time painting in my bedroom. Luckily, my art teacher, Miss Green, 4 me a lot of help. She taught me some drawing 5 to help improve my paintings. At that time, she was the only person I would like to talk to.
One day, I told Miss Green about my problem. She 6 me to take part in a painting competition. In her 7 , the best way to communicate with my parents was to prove (证明) myself to them.
After a few weeks' waiting, the result finally came out. I was very happy and excited 8 I got the first prize! When I took the prize home, my parents were very 9 . They never thought I could do a good job. I could see that they were very happy. And they began to care more about me. Now, relations between my parents and me are very good. So I think it's very 10 to have someone to talk to. Thanks, Miss Green!
