ideal for those who don't have much time to spare because the occasion can be made to feel special while the
whole family can stay together for a couple of hours or less. Make sure that everyone has a say in where they'd
like to eat. In case you don't go to one person's suggested restaurant this time then avoid disputes by suggesting
you to there another day.
The second favorite choice for spending quality time was to go on a family holiday. This can be one of the
most effective ways to engage with your teen in a fun and relaxing setting away from the distractions (使人分
心的事) of normal daily life. What's more, you'll return home with shared memories to cherish forever.
If you're looking for something slightly less expensive and time-consuming than a holiday, plan a day trip
instead. Day trips were considered by more teenagers than parents. in the survey as a good way to spend quality
time. Unsurprisingly, more teens than parents also said that they'd like to go to a theme park. But if the thought
of roller coasters and long queues leaves you feeling uncomfortable, perhaps consider a day out to another town
or city, going shopping or catching a movie at the cinema instead.
If you've got a sporty teen, try taking part in physical activity with him. Whatever it takes to get your blood
pumping, having fun will be well worth it. Although if you're rather athletically challenged, try something a bit
more sedate, like bowling (保龄球). Also, energetic and curious teens often enjoy outdoor activities, such as
camping, so why not put yourself to the challenge and see where the spirit of adventure takes you both?
But don't worry if the thought of such exertion (努力) makes either of you break out in a cold sweat. Time
spent one-on-one at home just enjoying each other's company can be equally-if not more-valuable as any other.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
