Dear Eric,
I feel sorry to learn that you have trouble in communicating with your parents. Such problem is quite normal for we teenagers. Perhaps the following suggestions will be of some help.
You’re supposed to know that your parents possibly won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them or if you fail to express yourself well. Therefore, be calm and patient to clearly make yourself understood. Besides, you can exchange your values to better understand what you care about and why, which will help to bridge your generation gap. (缩小代沟)
Hopefully, you will find my suggestions constructive.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Tom,
I feel sorry to learn that you are concerned about communicating in Chinese, so I’m writing to offer you some suggestions.
You’re supposed to know that speaking a foreign language requires courage, so take it easy and never shy away from your confusion. Besides, appropriate gestures allow a smoother interaction, which can generally reveal your ideas together with what you say.
I hope these help and I believe you’ll pocket abundant harvest during your exchange study in China.
Best wishes,
Li Hua
