| 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 ".

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".

Zhang Tiejun,14, Sichuan: On my first day of middle school, the teacher asked us to sit according
to height. The shorter students would sit in the first row, and the taller in the last. I’m one of the shortest,
but he asked me to sit in the last row. With tall classmates in front of me, I had to stand up to see the blackboard and take notes. I got high scores in the next midterm exam, and the teacher put me in the first row.
Li Yuhan,13, Heilongjiang: I like playing basketball with my classmates. One day, when we were
playing, some tall students came and told us to leave. We asked why. Then one of them threw our
basketball away and said: “ Because we will beat you if you don’t go away.” We had to pick our
basketball up and walk away.
Wu Yunqiang, 13, Beijing: I’m the best painter in my class. There was a school painting competition last year. I thought I should take part on behalf of our class. But the teacher didn’t put me in the contest.
Instead, the teacher gave the chance to a classmate who is at the top of the class in studies, but knows nothing about painting.
Liu Yuyan, 14, Guangxi: One day, two students didn’t bring their homework to school: our monitor Li and me. The teacher told Li not to forget next time. Then he began to blame me. He said: “ You must
have watched TV last night and not done your homework. Ask your mother to come to school
tomorrow.” The truth was that I did the homework that night , but forgot to bring it to school. From then
on, I didn’t forget it because I don’t want that unfair treatment any more.
Suggestions: Life is unfair sometimes. There’s something unfair at school, too. When you’re
wronged(受委屈) by those who have more power than you(like teachers and some classmates), there
may be nothing that you can do about it. Don’t think too long about it. Just make sure you don’t do the
same kinds of things to others in the future. But in a case like Liu’s, you can go to the teacher’s office to
talk to him or her frankly(坦诚地). Let the teacher know the truth and understand you better. And if you
feel something is wrong that you can’t accept, go to your parents or a trusted(信得过的) adult for help.
