Community activity is about doing something in our community because we want to or we feel we should rather than because we have to.
There are lots of ways to take civic(公共的) responsibility and be active in your community: Joining a local environmental or clean-up group, helping with a primary school play.
What can teenagers get from being involved?
1. By getting involved with community activities, teenagers can get a chance to work with positive adult role models besides their parents. Working with other adults encourages teenagers to see the world in different ways.
2.Young people are busy working out who they are and where they fit in the world. Being involved in the community activities can give your child a positive way of understanding who he is. As a result, he might come to see himself as helpful or just a “good” person. Being involved in the community activities can also help create a sense of being connected to the community.
3.Community activities give teenagers the chance to use the skills they already have. For example, your child could use the cooking skills he’s learned at home at a community kitchen. This kind of experience gives him the chance to see how many skills he has and how valuable they can be. Voluntary work and community activities are great opportunities to develop skills to get a job.
4.Being able to balance free time, work and study is very important to kid’s future life. Being part of a community activity could help your children to get more organized and start to manage their own time.
5.Finding a community activity can develop teenagers’ self-confidence. Your child can learn to deal with challenges, communicate with different types of people. This is good for teenagers’ self-esteem(自尊).
It can be very positive for young people to have something that gets them involved, where others expect them to turn up and take part, and where they’re supported to achieve something as part of a group.
Need to buy something?Why go to a store?Buy it on the Internet!Need it now?Why wait?Ask to receive it the next day!Each day,more and more people try online shopping.In fact,online sales have doubled in the last ten years.But not everyone is excited.Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.
People are surprised to hear this.“They think,‘I don't need to drive,and the business doesn't need to build a store,so there will be less pollution,’” says Nuria Prost,an environmental scientist.“But it is not so simple.In fact,online shopping is wasteful.It also adds to air pollution.”
In truth,the Internet is not always as a good friend to the environment as it seems.For example,most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials.But paper use increased by 33 percent between 1986 and 1997.“Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen,a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days.In the past,people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material,such as books and clothing.But now people also shop online for large,heavy products such as televisions,computers,chairs and tables.These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper.This creates a lot of waste.
Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution.When customers buy products and ask to receive them next day,online businesses often have to send them by air.Airplanes use much more oil than cars and produce more carbon dioxide(CO2).When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses,this creates even more travel by airplane.
Online product returns are also a problem.For example,an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes for free if they are the wrong size.This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.
“If people want to protect the environment,they need to think before they shop,” says Prost.“People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want?Do I really need it tomorrow,or can I wait?” Online stores can also ask customers to pay money for returns.This may make people shop more carefully.“Online shopping is fast and easy,” says Prost,“but we can't forget the harmful result it has caused to the environment.”
