题目内容
15.Dear Editor,I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people.They are not as polite,hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.
Last Friday,I got on the underground at 9:15a.m.It was very crowded so there was no free seats.There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me.I didn't know why they were not at school.They were talking and laughing loudly.It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise.At the next stop,a heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags.I expected the teenagers to let them sit down.They saw the woman but they did nothing.I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats.They unwillingly did so but gave me a rude look.I got off at the next stop and was pleased that the teenagers didn't follow me.
Last Saturday,I had dinner with my friend's family.I was glad to see his children,who I hadn't seen for ten years.During the dinner,I started talking about world politics with the children.It soon became clear that they didn't know much about it.They couldn't tell me the name of the Queen of Britain or President of Russia.All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful.In my days,students knew the kings,the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.
I worry about the future of China.How could these young people become responsible workers and parents?They sit around in McDonald's or Internet bars after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age.Maybe they have too much money.Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this"lost generation".
Yours sincerely,
Conerned
