Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular(尤其)their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mom always found ways to make leftovers (剩余物) taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don't waste food, either, and they use leftovers! Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It's made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kaozha is a special dish at big banquets.
Another famous dish is called zaobing. It's made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn't want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.
I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area---duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meet fresh.
I don't usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.
