Kaitlin Riffel's dream to end poverty（贫困） started when she was visiting her father，who worked for the homeless．

"I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before，"said Kaitlin，who is now sixteen．"I knew there was something I had to do about that．"

At age eight，she started raising money to build a playground．"It took me two years，"Kaitlin said．"We started small．We wanted to do something to make a difference．"

In 2014，when Kaitlin was thirteen，she visited Central America，and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard．That year，we set Kids on a Mission，which has helped hundreds of people there．

"The rooms were smaller than my bedroom，but there would be eight people living in each one，"Kaitlin said．"We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of．"

Providing clean drinking water，food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission．"This young lady is changing the hearts of people，and also changing the world，"said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school．

Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper．You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones，but you didn't talk about their bad points at all．So，I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette （礼仪）．

The first point I'd like to addressis loudness．When you talk on your smartphone in public，please don't shout．In fact，the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive （灵敏的）．So，you can be heard even if you speak quietly．

Another point is about personal space．I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people．This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business．What's worse，it stops many face﹣to﹣face conversations from ever beginning．

Lastly，doing two things at the same time is dangerous．For example，making calls while driving is a bad habit．Pay attention to the road!Similarly，when staying with your friends，turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company．

Yours truly，

Amber Jala
