9."Can I borrow the car,Dad?""Not until you finish mowing(除) the lawn."
"But I have to go to work!"
Sounds familiar?It would to an American teenager-----a job,a car,spending money,walking the dog and mowing the lawn.This isn't just the boring life of middle age but,in fact,this is the life of many American teenagers.
In the US,it is common for kids as young as 14to hold part-time jobs.They might save up their money to buy a car and,at 16,actually drive it.But this kind of independence(独立) isn't always fun.US kids need to take care of themselves and their younger brothers and sisters so that they are ready to live alone.
The average age of a high school graduate in the US is 17.Traditionally,a US student graduates in June and moves out of his or her parents'house by September.Of course,one must be ready for this.With a relatively small amount of homework,US high school students have more time for working and learning adult responsibilities(责任).
Is it better to live this way?It's good to cook for oneself and do laundry,but US students don't study enough.While American kids are working,Chinese and Indian students are studying.
The truth is,whatever you do now,you will never feel ready to be an adult.
