What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain
1
manners are often forgotten and other adult traits(品质)are not yet accepted as a way of life. __14__By doing the following things, you will earn more respect. 1．Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. __15__ All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you're old enough and capable, why shouldn't you contribute to the household? __16__ 2．Be responsible
__17__Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.

Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems. __18__ When you become a good problem solver, you increase your value to the community.

Visiting Britain
Dear Aunt Mei，
How time flies! It has been 6 months since I come here. I owe you a apology for

not writing to you more often. I've been busy studying and trying to absorb all the new thing around me, for I'm still experiencing culture shock. I'm glad you will visit me soon and I'll tell you something about London. London is an international city that there are many international restaurants and there is at least one Chinese restaurant in almost every town. You have to get used to the tipping system there. I suggest leaving 10% of the bill for the waiter and waitress. You can get some traveller's cheques as that is easy to exchange them at banks or hotels.
I think we should consider staying in the English countryside for a few nights so as to enjoy hiking and taste some mushrooms. Don't forget bring a warm coat for it can get pretty cold and foggy here.
One last thing, don't worry about how to get along with the people here because of the majority of them is quite friendly.
I am looking forward to your visit!
Love Xiaojin
