Whether they're for a teenager or not, all great stories have certain elements: they have interesting characters we enjoy reading about; they show these characters in a world we can recognize and understand.
The main character faces a problem, usually quite a serious one. The thing that most draws us to reading the story is the way the character deals with the problem—whether the character gets the better of it, or it gets the better of the character.
Characters in a book for young adults are generally young adults themselves. On the one hand, they're not children anymore. They're growing up and want to stretch their wings. On the other hand, they're not yet adults. They can't do certain things, as they're not yet able to do them or because the world tells them that they can't.
To make things even more complicated, almost all young adults feel at some point that the whole growing-up process is happening too quickly.
This year, TEENS has selected seven of the ten books, nominated (提名) for the US 2017 National Book Awards in the categories of Young People's Literature.
Some stories are specifically written for teenagers or young adults, meaning that their authors are very sensitive to the "in-between" nature of teenage life. They're about problems that appear for young people because of tensions between them and their parents and teachers, their siblings (兄弟姐妹),or wider society. Often, these problems are presented very seriously by writers.
At the same time, fiction isn't supposed to be just about the challenges people face in life, but also about how people overcome those problems. They discover something about themselves that they never knew before, and which enables them to succeed. And the solution that they find opens the future up to them, setting them on the path to adulthood.
A. They want to hold back a little and remain a child a little longer.
B. But that's what young adults want in fiction; to be taken seriously.
C. When closing a good book, we feel we've learned something about ourselves.
D. These are stories that someone of any age could pick up and enjoy.
E. And they are in a challenging period of life.
F. But most importantly, great stories have a central drama.
G. To some degree, challenges bring out the best in characters.
A. When a child should learn to read B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading C. What if a child has reading problems D. How you prepare a young child for reading E. What is the best way to teach a child reading F. Whether reading early promises later achievements |
⑴ {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.
⑵{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.
⑶{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.
⑷{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.
⑸{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.
A. Know when to be silent. B. Offer your encouragement. C. But are you willing to be there for the hard times that are the opposite of fun? D. The best way to develop meaningful connections with true friends you can trust is to become a true friend yourself. E. Have you ever shouted at a person when you were feeling stressed and wished you could take it back? F. Never hesitate to speak your thoughts and feelings. G. Never attempt to "fix" them, no matter how crazy their action might make you. |
Life can be a lonely thing without friends. Acquaintances (熟人) are easy to come by but true friends are a whole other story. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Learn these four steps if you'd like to be a true friend that can be relied on.
●Be present for their highs and lows.
If you're absent during my struggle, don't expect to be present during my success.
(Will Smith)
It's easy to be there for our friends when they ask us out for fun things. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} You might not feel comfortable while spending time with an emotionally weak person on the verge of tears, but true friends are always there when they're needed the most.
●{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
(Ernest Hemingway)
Give your friends the gift of silence so they can drop their baggage and get on with living.
●Accept them as they are.
Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
(George Orwell)
If you can't accept people as they are, you will never know the feeling of true friendship. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
●Forgive the past.
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
(Buddha)
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} If so, you should understand that even the best of us suffer from the occasional slip of the tongue. Holding onto anger over a small mistake will make you look petty (小气的), so let it go.
