One day in April, a special activity called “Food Street” was held on the playground at Railway No. 1 Middle School in Xi’an.

This activity was part of the English Art Festival in the school. The students in each class were divided into several groups. And each group sold different kinds of food. The students did the shopping and the cooking all by themselves. The students cooked delicious food such as fried chickens, potato chips and vegetables. They all worked hard and sold the food at low prices. The customers, who were the junior students, teachers and parents, all praised them for the nice food.

“It’s really hard work, said one of the students who took part in the activity, “We must make a plan before the cooking. We must know how much we should spend on the things we need. Also, we must learn how to serve customers well.”

“This activity is to give a chance to students to develop their practical abilities (实践能力),” said one teacher, “What’s more, the students will not only learn how to make money by their own hands, but also know the meaning of life.”

Not all people can afford to buy expensive books. There are Sending libraries where people, old and young, can borrow books if they are members. The largest library in Singapore is the National Library at Stamford Road. More than thousands of books can be found. Most of them are English books although there are also some Chinese and Malay readers.

You can borrow books from the library if you are a member. To be a member you have to pay a certain fee. After you have paid the fee, you are given a card and you can use this card to borrow books for three weeks at a time.

Students do not need to pay membership fee. All they need is a letter from their school principals and they can become members of the library. For those who live far away there are extension (扩大) libraries at Toa Payoh, Queenstown and other places which also have books for readers to borrow.

Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.

The first one is that they feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends.

The second one is that more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted. They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV.

Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much food, but they take little exercise.

I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems. They should make a plan for study and hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.

1.The survey shows ________ main problems of teenagers.

2.The teenagers feel stressed because ________.
