　　In July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing(度假)in hotels.

　　We had to plan very carefully. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us, to prevent insects(昆虫)from burring us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we had to decide on the direction(方向)we wanted to drive.

　　Many teenagers(青少年)feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.

　　Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friendsor family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.

　　E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.

　　The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun, see a great movie perhaps, and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story. With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.

　　E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use emails to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children ofter at college.

　　We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
