Young people and older people do not always agree．They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing．But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way．
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group．Everyone works several hours each day．They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work．Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village．Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses．The adults teach them these skills．
There are several free hours each day．Weekends are free, too．During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or drawing．Others sit around and talk or sing．Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time．
When people live together, they should have rules．In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together．If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group．They talk about it and ask,“Why did it happen?What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has said something about it,“You have to stop thinking only about yourself．You learn how to think about the group．”

Good afternoon.Welcome to England.We hope that your visit will be a pleasant one.Today I'd like to tell you something about a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking.Now you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age,nor may your friends buy it for you.
The second one,noise.Enjoy yourselves by yourself,but don't make unnecessary noise,especially at night.We ask you to respect other people who may wish you be quiet.
The third one,crossing the road.Be careful.The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country.Use pedestrian crossing (人行横道) and don't take any chances when crossing the road.
My next point is about rubbish.It isn't lawful to drop rubbish in the street.When you have something to throw away,please put it in your pocket and take it home,or put it in a dustbin.
Finally,smoking.It is against the law to buy cigarettes if you are less than 16 years of age.
