There is an argument(争论) going on in many schools．It is about what language or languages are spoken in the classroom．
Some people argue that because this is America，only English should be spoken in schools．Others argue that America is a melting pot(多元文化的移民国家)．And if students are able to speak more than one language．that should be accepted and celebrated in classrooms．
We asked students in New York City what they thought．Here’s what they said．
Should English be
the only language
spoken in
American classrooms?
YES

In different countries around the world，people become‘ adults’(成年人) at different ages．Being an adult means having the right(权利) to do certain things su ch as get a part-time job，vote(选举权)，get married，or get a licence to drive．
In many countries，sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult．Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job，and begin to receive an income(收入) of their own．They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time．In many parts of North America，sixteen is also the age when one can get a driver’s licence；in England，it is seventeen．
In the United States，Canada，and the U. K. ，young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen．With this right also comes duty．For young people to use their right to vote wisely，they must have an understanding of the needs of society，and they must also learn how politics(政治观点) work．
Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights to pe ople when they are too young．The question is，how young is too young?
64．An adult has the right to do certain things．Please give an example．
65．At what age can one get a driver’s licence in England?

Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide people with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes，toothpaste，shampoo and so on．Many people like the idea because they don’t have to bring their own．But，if you travel to Beijing，remember to bring your own things．Starting from June，some hotels in Beijing no longer provide people with these disposables．They want to ask people to use fewer disposable things．
Many disposable things are made of plastic(塑料)．People throw them away after only using them once．It is a waste of natu ral resources(资源) and is very bad for the environment．Do you know．one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things．In Beijing，people throw away about 19000000 kg of plastic bags and 1320000 kg of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down(腐烂)．So the less plastic we throw out，the better．Wherever you travel，bring your own things and use them again and again．

They think it is their duty to protect (保护) the environment.
