Dear Sir/Madam,

①It is now common to go online in the home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety﹣five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.

②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities. If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.

③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork.These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset.Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.

④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way or parents to improve their relationships with their children.These days,children spend a lot of their free time on computers.If parents want to be part of that free time,they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity.Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children.

⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important.

Yours faithfully.

Pat Chan

What's in a Name?

Right now,the two most popular names for babies in the United States are"Jacob"for boys and"Emily"for girls.(57)  And why are some names unpopular?

Things have changed since Lucy had children of her own.Lucy is not as strict as her parents were,so her own kids have more freedom (自由).They can move between the different cultures and feel easier in both cultures.They haven't had so many problems about their identities (身份)•They see themselves as Australians with an Italian background and they‘re proud of their traditions.
