In the past, I didn't get on well with my parents. I hardly talked to them, because they liked to compare me with my sister. And that made me (happy) and sad. I didn't know to do. Sometimes I even (argue) with them about this.
However, I wanted to show them that I could do things as (good) as my sister. Then I began to spend most of my free time (paint) in my bedroom. (Lucky), my art teacher, Miss Green, offered me a lot of help. She taught me some drawing skills to help improve my paintings. At that time, she was the only person I would like (communicate) with.
One day, I told Miss Green my problem. She encouraged me to take part in a painting competition. She said 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 got the first prize! When I took the prize home, my parents were so happy they couldn't stop laughing all the time! And they began to care more about me. Now (relation) between my parents and me are very good. So I think it's very important to have someone to talk to.
