　　My Year Abroad

　　This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes．

　　Mariko Okada-Tokyo

　　My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience．I'm not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone．So I got lots of speaking practice．I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture．When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future．

　　Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

　　I spent last year studying English in London．I'm from a small town, and London is a very big city．Sometimes I felt it was too big．There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English．I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats．My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents．I think it was a good experience for me, but I'm glad to be home!

　　Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

　　Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework．I also kept a diary of my experience．I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day．On Saturdays, my homestay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture．I'm really glad I went!

Dear grandma,

How's it going?I hope that grandpa is good now．I was sorry to hear that he had a cold last week．I hope you are on good health．

Things are fine here．I finished my end-of-year exams last week and get my report card today．I always get nervous when I see the envelope from school in the

mail, but unluckily I did OK this time．I had a really hard time with science this semester, and 1 wasn't surprised find that my worst report was from my science teacher．She said I was lazy, which isn't true．It's just I find that difficult to study science well．

Another disappointed result was in history．The good

news are that my math teacher said I was hard-working．And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good．

Well, that's about the all news I have for now．Mom and Dad send them love．

Love, Alan

　　Do you read advice columns in newspapers and magazines?Do you think they are helpful to everyone who reads them?Here are some：

　　I've got a problem．My good friend Lana in my science class asked me to lend her my exercise book so she could copy my answers．Should I do it．Sally?I don't want to, but I'm afraid that if I don't give it to her she won't be my friend any longer．Carmen

　　Of course you can't give her your exercise book．That's cheating, and you could get into big trouble if you do that．Sally

　　1 was at friend's house for dinner last Saturday．During dinner, I broke a beautiful plate．It was my friend's favorite wedding gift．I wanted to pay for it, but she didn't agree with me．I feel bad about it．

Kay

　　I think you did the right thing．It was important to offer to pay for it, but it's not surprising that she said no．Perhaps you could give her a special gift instead．

Sally

　　My son is 24 years old．He finished college last year, but he can't seem to find a job that he likes．I'm worried that he's not trying hard enough to get a job and live on his own．He sleeps till noon every day．Also I've been cooking his meals．

Lisa

　　You're making it too easy for him to stay where he is．Tell him he has two months to find a job(any job)and get his own place．He's old enough to take care of himself．

Sally
