At 18, many American young people go off on their own. They go away to college or find full-time jobs, and they often pay for their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence(独立) is learned from childhood.
From an early age, American children learn to do things by themselves. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table.
Using money in the right way is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance. This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. The child can spend or save it, usually with little help or advice from parents. If the child wants more money, it must be earned by doing extra chores.
Children are taught early in life to think for themselves. They are allowed to make some decisions and make mistakes. Failure often teaches more than success.

My Plan for a Day |
Tomorrow will be Saturday. I' ll get up between six and seven. I'd go downstairs before anyone else in the family is up to feed my out door pets and take my dog for a walk. |
I will have breakfast at 8:30. Then I' ll have milk and bread for breakfast because I think they are good for my health. My friends will come to my house and we' ll go to a reading club together. There, we will share what we have read over the past week with each other. In my opinion, it is meaningful for us to do the book sharing activity. |
At 12:30 pm, we' ll have lunch after the book sharing activity. After that, we plan to attend an English speech lecture(讲座) given by a famous English teacher. The speech will last from14:30 to 16:00. Then we will go to play basketball. |
At 5:30 pm, I' ll come back home and have supper with my parents. They will provide me with delicious food. I like tomato and egg soup best. I'm pretty proud of the food cooked by my mother. After supper, I'd like to wash the dishes by myself. |
Every child has a hobby. My hobby is studying the night sky. But some friends of mine have special hobbies.
Tim(Bangkok) | I collect candy papers but not any candy papers. They must have something to do with bears. For example, there is a bear on it, or there are many bears - it doesn't matter. My dream is to have one wall in my house with bear candy papers on it. |
Becky(London) | I collect rocks. Everywhere I go, mountains, rivers or farms, I stop and look at rocks. If I find an interesting one, I take it home and add it to my collection. Mom says I must stop soon because my room is getting full of rocks. But I don't care. It is my hobby. |
Kelly (Sydney) | Why am I reading this book? Because it has a green cover(封面). My hobby is collecting books with green covers. I have over 100| books, all with green covers. It's hard to find green-cover books. I spend much time in bookstores. I read a book. If it is interesting and the cover is green, I add it to my collection. |
