Young people and old people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in a program in New York, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for 8 weeks as members of a work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy. It is to find meaning in work. Some teenagers work on the farm near the village. Some learn to build a house. The adults teach them. There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn painting. Others sit round and talk or sing. Each teenager has his own way to spend his free time. When people live together, rules are always needed. In this program the teenagers and adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They ask, “Why did it happen? What do we have to deal with it?” One of the teenagers has this to say about the program, “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”

二、佳作欣赏

A. 段落编写

段落编写（一）clean  make  tidy   so  help

I think I’m a lucky student because my parents and friends love me very much. They help me a lot in my daily life. I’m a little lazy, so my mother often cleans my room and she can make it very tidy. I’m not good at math, so my friend Amy often helps me with my math. Now I’m interested in math and I can learn better and better.

段落编写（二）problem  nervous  could  although  communicate

My favorite food is dumplings. They’re delicious and healthy. But my problem is that I can’t make them by myself, which makes me feel nervous. I should ask my mom for help. However, relations between us have become difficult. That’s because I often talk back, not listen to her. My dad tells me that I can communicate with my mom. Although I may not understand my mom, I believe that the more conversations we have, the better relationship we’ll have.

Dear Alien,

I’m sorry to hear that you are sad because of some problems you have recently.

You told me that you argued with your best friend and you both didn’t talk to each other. I don’t think it is right. In my opinion, you should say sorry first and explain what you think and how you feel now. Although she was wrong, it’s not a big deal. Besides, I think you could invite her to your house. It may be a surprise to her. It will help to make your friendship stronger. As far as we know, “Friendship is love with understanding.” “A life without a friend is a life without a sun.” I hope you can make up with her soon.

As for your study, I believe that you had some problems in learning English. I guess you had better change the ways of learning habits. You can study English not only by listening to teachers carefully but also by taking notes and doing exercises. Because both ways are good for improving your English grades. What’s more, asking the teacher for help is a good way to English learning. The teacher who is experienced can offer good advice to help you have a better understanding of what you’ve learned. As the saying goes, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Work harder and practice more. Your hard work will be rewarded one day. I hope you can get good grades next time.
