| A letter to the editor(编辑) |
13 October
Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.
I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有责任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

| A reply to Mr. Johnson's letter |
20 October
Dear Editor,
I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.
He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.
Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明显地) not.
"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.
Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".

Hu Ziwei, 15, Nanjing Foreign Language School
My class will have a gift exchange party, during which we will put on a small talent show. Many of us had our gifts ready a week ago. I believe that the boys will give magic tools, stationary （文具） or sweets, while girls are likely to give dolls or mobile accessories （挂件）.
The biggest fun about these parties is not knowing from whom you'll receive a gift and who will receive your gifts. The computer will decide everything! Our teacher hopes the activity will help us get to know each other better – you see, we've only known each other for three months. I'm looking forward to my surprise gift!
Liu Wei, 17,Beijing No 8 High School
Although my birthday was in November, I'll get a special birthday gift from my classmates this week. A．collective （集体的） birthday party is scheduled for all the students who had birthdays fall in the last six months.
My classroom has been decorated with colorful ribbons and Christmas balls. Someone told me that there will be a huge birthday cake and that a personalized gift sent with best wishes from other students is being prepared for each birthday student. I'm sure we will treasure this event and I'm so looking forward to the big moment!
Yin Zhaohua, 19, Jixi No 1 High School in Heilongjiang
I'm still enjoying the gifts I received on Christmas Eve. Nowadays traditional greeting cards are being replaced with apples and sweets, which symbolize （象征） hope for the year ahead. I got more than 20 apples this Christmas, which means I sent a similar number of apples out. I think apples are healthier, more environmentally and friendly gifts than cards sent through the post.
Wu Shang, 16, Mianyang High School in Sichuan
These last two weeks have been filled with every kind of exam so the atmosphere（气氛） on campus is not at all like a holiday. I miss the days when I got handwritten cards.
In fact, I haven't received or sent holiday cards since the Internet became popular. It's so fast and easy to send an e-card. Also, text messages are fun and convenient （方便的）. I'll send warm hugs to my best friends on New Year's D．ay to let them know that I'll be always there for them.

I’m a slow student. Most of my classmates are much better than me, so I usually get stressed out. I spend much time studying for the tests but I can’t get good grades. Sometimes my father gives me some help. He tells me not to worry about it, but it doesn’t work. What do you think I should do?
Li Lei
Dear Li Lei ,
Many famous people were not so good when they were young. Edison, a famous scientist, did poorly in his studies when he was a young boy. But, as an adult, he made many inventions that helped a lot of people. When I was at young age, I didn't do well at school. I just kept working hard and, at last, I succeed. You should take it easy and try your best. Tomorrow is another day. I believe you can do better.

Are you the only child in the family? If so. you are the most important in your family. Parents are the
closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they're
not as close to their parents as before. They even don't think their parents are fair to them.
Some students tell me that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say
their parents don't let them play computer games. Others say when they're making phone calls to friends,
their parents like to ask if they're speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some
students even decide to leave home because they' re afraid to tell their parents when they do something
wrong, or when they don't do well in exams. Then they usually think running away is a good way. But
running away may bring them some more problems.
Problems are part of life. Here are some suggestions for your problems.
(1) Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don' t be afraid to tell them your feelings.
(2)Get help from others, like good friends or teachers.
(3)Keep a diary to help you know more about yourself and your feelings.
