This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers' experiences in year abroad programmes.
Mariko_Okada—Tokyo
My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I'm not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.
Carla_Fonseca—Rio_de_Janeiro
I spent last year studying English in London. I'm from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I'm glad to be home!
Alvin_Chen—Hong_Kong
Studying in New Zealand was an interesting experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week—with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my home stay family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I'm really glad I went！

Nowadays, many kids aren't interested in a summer camp that involves paddling a canoe or singing campfire songs. But that doesn't mean summer camp is out altogether. Fortunately, there are summer camps that will suit almost any teenager's tastes. And, many of them provide opportunities to prepare them for their future aspirations.
Hollywood Stunt Camp
A teenager who loves adventure and movies may enjoy it. Teenagers learn a variety of stunts, including how to perform in a flight scene and jump off tall buildings. They also gain an understanding of how Hollywood stars perform a variety of tricks without getting injured. Each camper gets to perform stunts for an original film and participate in a weekly show during the one or two week camp.
Kids Comedy Camp
Kids aged between 10 and 18 can spend two weeks at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City to learn about comedy. At the end of the two weeks of holiday camp, the kids will perform a live show. If you've got an aspiring on your hands，this camp has a lot to offer.
Rock Star Camp
If your teen's an aspiring musician, rock star camp may be a fun opportunity to learn and play. Located in Running Springs, it provides instructions for aspiring musicians on how to improve their skills and their performances. All campers return home with a CD of their own music.
Camp BizSmart
It teaches kids the skills necessary to operate a business. Kids learn about everything from public speaking to negotiation. They will work together on real life projects and business cases for 10 days. Each camp session takes place in California.

Emily Urich 18 years old Canada
A lot of teens aren't responsible, and that's where I'm different. Not just about school but everyday things, like being able to pay my own credit card bills on time.
The first time I got a cartoon book was on my third birthday. From then on, I fell in deep love with it. And can you guess how many cartoon books I've read I don't really know the exact number. But I have three full boxes of them under my bed.
Joe Miller 16 years old America
I'm proud of doing things in my own way. So whenever somebody wants me to do something or whatever it is, I feel like they're all other people's thoughts, not really mine. But like others, I love reading, too.
When I first took skiing lessons, I found it exciting. For skiing racing, there's no question that I'm better than most boys. I think it's fun. I mean, it is a challenge. It's where I picked up the idea of needing a challenge always in my life. In order to improve my skiing skills, I have read many books and magazines about it.
An Qi 15 years old China
I'm different because I prefer to drop out of the world to create my own world. I'd like to build a house on a mountain. And I choose to live without electricity, a telephone, or even indoor plumbing.
I have many hobbies such as traveling, reading, writing and spending time with children. I love children because they are smart and creative. They always have many strange ideas. It makes me excited.
I want to do something for Hope Project and become a country school teacher.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation (隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults.
School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.
Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent to 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size as well as in terms of its impact on society's other cultures (adults, younger children).
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.

I am sorry to hear that you're having trouble adjusting to your high school life. Many students have the same problem when they go to a new school so don't worry about it too much. I'm writing to offer you some useful advice.

I hope my suggestions will work well with you.
Yours，

【概要写作】
Adolescent peer culture is a universal phenomenon and for American adolescents more time is spent with peers than with younger children or adults. (要点1) Firstly, changes in workplace reduce the amount of time adolescents spend with their parents. (要点2) School reforms also result in less time spent with younger children. (要点3) Additionally, the increase in adolescent population is another contributing factor. (要点4) A research shows adolescents' gradual separation from adults starts in their early teens when they manage to escape adult supervision. (要点5)

Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults.
School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.
Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent to 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size as well as in terms of its impact on society's other cultures (adults, younger children).
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.
