A letter to the editor(编辑)

13 October

Dear Editor,

    I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.

    Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有责任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

A reply to Mr. Johnson's letter

Dear Editor,

I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.

He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.

Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明显地) not.

"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".

(   )1. My friend Jenny always takes a walkman with her and listen to loud music. I think it may hurt her ears. But she doesn’t seem to care. (   )2. Sam saw some bird eggs under a tree when we had a trip in the forest. He wanted to take them home. I stopped him. He’s angry with me. (   )3. Jack let me play with his favorite toy car. I make it go too fast and it crashed. (   )4. All my friends have many new clothes. They wear clothes in different style every day. But my pa- rents can’t afford it. I think it’s a shame. (   )5. My close friend always wants me to give him the answers in exams. I do that. But I’m afraid I might be caught. If I don’t do that, he might not be my friend any more.

A. Try to talk to him, tell him it’s wrong for you two to do that. Then try to help him with his lessons in your spare time. If he can’t accept it, let it be. Maybe he’s not such a good friend. B. You shouldn’t regret. The beauty of one’s looking or appearance doesn’t stand for everything. You are young and still depend on your parents. The most important thing is to study hard and you are sure to have a good future. C. Let her know being grown up isn’t so bad. We can have our own idea; do everything in our own ways. D. I used to have the same problem. You can try my ideas, they really work. First, talk about the things you like best and can do best. Then try to make friends you’re your neighbors. E. You can get some examples from newspapers, magazines or TV shows, let her know it’s really bad. F. Tell him that he has done something good to animals. If he takes the egg shame, how will their mother feel when she can’t find them? On the other hand, what kind of birds are they? G. Say sorry to him first. And try to repair it. Or you may give him your favorite toy car instead. Or buy a new one for him.
