There are some popular short stories around the world, For example, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson, which is based on the change of an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, is one of the most inspiring short stories for children. Then there is The Boy Who Cried Wolf, a classic Aesop’s fable which shows kids the importance of always telling the truth.

9 . Last week,we talked about the conflict(冲突)between sleepy teenagers and early morning classes.Many people commented on our website.
For example,Damla Ece in Turkey wrote:I agree with the idea of starting lessons later so teenagers can feel better in the morning.But sleeping more than seven hours can be wasting time for students.
Tran in Vietnam disagreed:I think teenagers,on average,need eight to ten hours of sleep every day.It's useless to try to force them to concentrate while they can't concentrate.
Afshin Heydari from Iran wrote:Schools should start early to avoid heavy traffic later in the morning.
And Suze from Jordan wrote:When I was a teenager,I enjoyed taking my courses as early as possible.That way I could find a long time in the day to do my own activities.
But Azra from Kyrgyzstan said:The reason why schools start early here is a lack of classrooms.
And Joruji in Japan wrote:When I was a teenager,I used to get up before six to go to school,which was far from home,and I don't remember having problems.I think nowadays the Internet,TV games and cell phones make teens go to sleep later.
Thirtyyearold Kika in Spain said:In my opinion,young people are very lazy.
But Dennis Jin disagreed:For high school students in China,we must reach class at 6:20 in the morning and be back home usually at 10:00 in the evening.Then we'll have some extra schoolwork to do.Can you imagine how long could we sleep every day?
Teenagers are not the only ones who suffer.Kathy in Canada wrote:My daughter likes complaining about everything in the morning,and I know that this is from lack of sleep.I wish schools should change their start time to 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning.
And Naima Star in Libya wrote:Getting up so early in the morning and leaving the warm bed is so difficult,especially in the cold weather.It reminds me of that old song:“It's nice to get up in the morning,but it's nicer to stay in bed.”
