Part 2 话题能力提升

Emma started to learn skating recently.All the neighborhood kids who liked to skate played it at the old parking lot.The other places nearby where they had tried skating were off-limits(禁止进入),and the few times they had tried,the business owners would come out and shout at them.No one seemed to care about the old parking lot,so even if it wasn’t perfect,it was the place they all went for skateboarding.
Emma wanted to change this situation.She came up with an idea and explained it to her friend Braxton.He nodded excitedly.Soon,he had all the other skaters gather around them,and Emma shared her plan.She added,“We’ll all need to work together.The more people that we can get involved(加入),the more chances we will have of pulling this off.”
For the next two weeks,Emma,Braxton and the others worked hard to put the plan into action.Each of them had spoken with his or her parents and hoped they could support this plan.The skaters had also walked door-to-door,visiting the neighbors that didn’t like skateboarders hanging around near their houses.They explained the plan and how it would benefit the neighbors.They hoped their parents and neighbors could make it to attend the city council(市议会) meeting.
On the day of the meeting,the council made it real.Emma suggested that the lot should be bought by the city and made to be the city’s first skatepark(滑板运动场).
Thanks to Emma,the whole neighborhood got a skatepark where children could go skateboarding safely.

Dear Uncle Huang,
Thank you for reading my e-mail! I am living in this community.Nowadays,children don’t have any sisters or brothers.They also have no friends here.Luckily,you want to help us.Here are my suggestions.
First,we can organize the children in this community to clean up our neighborhood.Through this activity,we can know each other and make new friends.Second,I hope we can be offered a room to do homework and then we can communicate and learn from each other.Third,I think we can ask children to join our Youth Club.We can take part in a lot of interesting activities,such as holiday camps and discos,regular visits to the old people,evening parties and concerts.
These are my suggestions.I think our life will be fun and colourful.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Li Ping
