4．The Big Lottery is giving money to groups of teenagers between 14and 19who want to become active citizens．The teenagers who would like to help make the area you live in better，cleaner，safer and more friendly can actually get money for improving your local community （社区）．We have $ 80，000to give away．We are looking for young people to take part in schemes（规划） and projects near to where they live．
Here are a few easy things you could do to get started．
Meeting the neighbors：Everybody needs good neighbors．Knock on people's door and find out what they would like improving in your area．Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together．If you don't want to go round to their houses，then you could always put a note through their doors．
Neighborhood watch：Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK．If you go away on holiday and leave your house，it's very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it．It's a good way to make the area you live in safer．You could set one up easily and quickly．（Paragraph 4）
Lending a hand：There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can．Offer to do their shopping once a week，look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog．（Paragraph 5）
No littering：Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish，but a clean street can make all the difference．Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find．You never know，one day you might find something valuable．
Recycling：Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled．Some areas already provide places to people to recycle bottles，tins，plastic and paper．Find out if this is done in your neighborhood．If it's not，do something about it．
So go on …Just tell us what kind of project you want to join in．Then we'll send you more details．Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in．

分析 大乐透给了一群14-19岁孩子钱，原因是这些孩子为使家园更美好、更干净、更安全、更友善所做的努力，这里讲述了你能够开始做的一些事情：
拜访邻居：每个人都需要有一个好的邻居，经常和邻居走动．
让邻居帮你看家：这个在英国很普遍，当你出门或旅游时，你可以让你的邻居帮忙看家．这是让家园更加安全的重要方式之一．
帮助周围的老年人：你的邻居中肯定会有老人，老人们有很多事情都不能完成，你可以为他们提供帮助，例如每周帮他们购物、替他们照看花园、帮他们遛狗等．
不要乱扔垃圾．
循环利用：将近2/3的垃圾是可以循环再利用的．
所以，告诉我们你想参加做哪一件事情，随后我们将会给你发送详细的信息，参加积极的活动，把自己的生活区域建的更好．
