Am writing to tell you that the case of George Trimble in your edition of September 14th highlights one of the major issues that faces society today. +As to a psychologist who specialises in adolescence, it is clear to me that the problems confronting young people are increasing. More teenage girls are getting pregnant and there are more single mothers. There is also a higher incidence of teenage boys dropping out of school and more gangs on streets comers. 22 percent of boys up to age 18 are reported by a school or other authority for delinquency. Moreover, suicide rates among young men are climbing and a third of teenagers suffer depression at some point.

But what are parents to do? Should they be more liberal and risk losing authority in the child's eyes? Or more authoritarian and risk alienating1 their children so much they won't talk about their fears and concerns? Should they try to stop them having sex or encourage safe sex? It is no easy thing to find a balance between discipline and tolerance. No one seems to know what the rules are any more.

However, unless we start to address these questions as a society, and that means government, schools and parents, things will only get worse.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Margaret Haster

What is your review of the balance between discipline and tolerance that Dr. Huster mentions? Where would you draw the line?

F I were the President, I would like to change a lot of things in

my country. I would like to do people's life better. I would like to get homes for the people who

don't have homes or give money to people to buy homes. I would build plants and factories to

give people work. I would help to create more jobs and help to improve our economy I would

build a lot of hospitals in my country. Health care service would be free in my country. I would

strengthen our educational system. I would build new schools, new gyms, and cinemas in my

country. I would like to make my country very beautiful. Every person must be happy in my

country. He must have a well paid job, his home, family, and children. He must be healthy and

educated. So If I were the president I would like to do everything to make all people happy in my

country. I know it is difficult but I would do my best

Когда я приехал в Лондон весной. Я пошел к дяде

кто врач. Я нашел его с его другом, мистером Эндерби, и

мой дядя пригласил меня пообедать с ними. После обеда, когда

мой дядя был

рассказывая нам о поездке, которую он предпринял, его жена

позвала его к телефону.

«Мне очень жаль, - сказал он, когда вернулся, - я должен пойти посмотреть

пациент. Я постараюсь вернуться как можно скорее. Не уходи ".

Он пошел, чтобы надеть шляпу и пальто, и, проходя через

комнату, он очень тихо сказал мне: «Позаботься о мистере Эндерби, Джек.

Поговорите с ним о собаках; он любит их."

Я как раз собирался начать разговор с мистером Эндерби, когда

мы услышали шум, и собака моего дяди вбежала в комнату. Он заплатил
