Young people and older people do not agree.         But in one special programme in New York State, grown-ups and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 2000 teenagers and 50 grown-ups live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the villages.           The grown-ups teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing.      
When people live together, rules are necessary. In this program the teenagers make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “         What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience. “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”

A. Why did it happen? B. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time. C. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. D. Old people love young people. E. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses.
