To Prevent or to Resolve a Conflict?
I dont like (1) quarrelling and conflicts of any kind and try (2) to avoid them. However, its my peaceful character which often (3) causes conflicts in my family. The thing is that they accuse (осуждать) me of telling lies. But I never tell lies. I dont tell the whole truth, but its not the same thing.
To put it frankly, I dont always inform my parents of any discouraging test results or about my teacher s wish to see either my mum or dad as soon as possible. Its not because I want (4) to escape punishment but because I dont want to hurt their feelings. Whats the use in having a dull conversation with my teacher about my poor progress? Isn4 it unfair to my parents who (5) deserve a quiet evening in front of the TV set after a long working day?
As for the teachers, I try to prevent any conflicts with them too. I tell them that my parents are pretty busy at the moment, but they worry a lot about my grades (who can say that thats a lie?!) and will come as soon as they have a little more time.
The problem is that sooner or later theyll meet anyway. And then Ill have to invent a new method of (6) resolving a serious conflict.
