I have never written a letter to a newspaper before, I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I know I was wrong.
Sometimes you really need help in life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.
I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me . I’m a mother of three children. I know well how to bring up (带大)children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me.
But now I have a serious problem:the Internet problem. My little son is just sixteen, and I feel he should do a lot of homework now , but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it . He can happily spend six or eight hours at a time on the Tnternet every day , He chats with pelple that he has never met before , but speaks little to us .He does lots of useless things on the Internet. And he sees red if you ask him to do his homework.
I just want him to be a good student . Now he seldomdoes his lessons at home. I’m afraid he will drop behind in his class soon. His father is a doctor , a very kind man . He never seems to be afraid of his father.
What can I do ?And don’t tell to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it didn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our family. I have tried everything I can think of . I
wonder how the Internet is so attractive(有吸引力的).You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ellen Smith

The musical group, “Shepherds’ Kids” , was founded(建立) by the Shanghai Jiuqian Volunteer Center. There are about 40 students in this group. Their parents are migrants(打工者) working in Shanghai.
“ The music courses are free,” said Zhang Yichao, founder of the group. “We just want to make the children’s lives more colorful.”
The kids learn singing, dancing and musical instruments. Their teachers are volunteers from high schools.

Tang Yue is a volunteer teacher at the center. She is a student from Shanghai Ping’he Bilingual High School.

At the same time, a mother 39 three children also had the same problem as us. The mother 40 her baby, but her young son and his older brother were separated from her. She was very concerned about the boys sitting with 41 . She was very worried, but 42 helped her. Suddenly a man said, “I think we can help you.” Then he and his group managed to make enough space for the 43 .
My young daughter, however, was afraid of not being next to a window or her mom. I told her I couldn’t do anything; we had to sit 44 we were. Amazingly, the man sitting next to me turned to me and said he really liked the seat near the aisle, so we changed seats and continued our trip 45 .
Would that man give us his seat if the others hadn’t done so for the mom and her children? I don’t know. Perhaps kindness is contagious.
