The World for Teenagers

Question in June: What do you often do after class? Maria from Russia I often use old clothes that people don’t wear any more to make bags. I opened a small shop in my neighbourhood and set up a website to sell the bags online. Many customers think they are wonderful. Now I plan to write a new book about ways to use old clothes. Lele from China Museums often teach me a lot. I have ever been to many museums, such as the ones in Beijing, Xi’an and so on. But the Hangzhou National Tea Museum is my favorite. It’s in this museum that I knew about the history of tea. I watched the tea art performances. They showed how to make a perfect cup of tea with tea sets. Angela from France I often cook Chinese food at home. I can make dumplings and Yangzhou Fried Rice. My favorite is Yunnan Rice Noodles. To make the food, we need to have rice noodles, chicken soup, vegetables and eggs. My parents often cook Chinese food as well, especially gongbao chicken.

4 . Not long ago, two of my grandchildren came over for dinner. They walked in and went straight to the sofa to lie down. Aged 10 and 12, they took out their smartphones and started gaming.

It makes me sad to watch them, and so many other kids today, consider gaming as play. When I was a kid, I knew how to play. When I wanted a metal pedal car (踏板车) like some of my rich friends, my father made me one out of wood. At first, I was ashamed of the homemade toy. But I soon began to like it when my friends all wanted a ride. Dad also built a huge playhouse and several tree houses. When I was older, he made me a high jump stand. Dad just loved building things or he really loved me, or maybe a little of both.

In my neighborhood, we didn’t have much to play with. For fun, we had to get creative. We put up tents in the yard and camped out. At night, we looked for something interesting on the streets. We once went on a week-long bike trip to a lake. It was 220 kilometers away.

My grandchildren have no idea how much fun these activities can be. That Sunday night, after dinner, I decided to take them outside to show them something “different”.

The first response (回应) was, “Why do we have to put our shoes on and go outside?” “Because I want to show you something,” I said and picked up my Frisbee (飞盘). “I think we could go outside and throw the frisbee around.”

I got a slow and unhappy “Sure” for my efforts. With some further unwillingness, we walked out into the street and began throwing the frisbee.

Slowly, we got better. My grandson caught the frisbee over ten times. It was amazing how much progress we were making. We played until it was dark.

Anyway, it was a great success. My grandchildren began a new way of playing.
