My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such terrible parents. What should I do?
Helen, USA
Why do you think you’re the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They want us to look like them. They don’t understand that fashion have changed in the past 30years!
Tom, Canada
Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. They’re much older than you and you should respect them. It’s their house you live in and their money you spend!
Emily, New Zealand
Helen, why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house---it’s only fair. I don’t think you should change your appearance though. Teenagers should look like teenagers.
Aisha, Nigeria

HAVE you noticed that the moon is becoming rounder and brighter day after day? That’s because Sept 8 is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are many stories about the moon to make the tradition more interesting. In China, Chang’e flying to the moon is a well-known legend(传说). Hou Yi and Chang’e were husband and wife in old times. At the time, there were 10 suns in the sky. Hou yi, a brave man, shot (射) down nine suns. People see Hou Yi as a great hero.

Many teenagers（青少年） feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it’s quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phone. The talk between friends is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to say to their family members.
