Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is survey showing the main problems of teenagers.
They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do at school and at home. They have lots of exams (take). And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. a result, many of them almost become bookworms(书虫). On most (holiday), they could hardly have their own time to do the things they are interested in. Now more and more teenagers (get) short-sighted(近视).
They often read in bed or keep (read) for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some watch TV too much. Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat (easy). They eat too much junk food, they take little exercise. I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems. They should make a plan for study and hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.

Spain is famous for its tomato festival, called La Tomatina. It happens in a small town Hanoi on the last Wednesday of August every year. During the festival there are all (kind) of activities, but the most exciting part is the tomato fight. It takes place at the end of long celebration(庆祝). You are encouraged to throw (tomato) in the fight. There are many stories about how the festival began. One of the stories (go) that during the 1940's, some friends started a tomato fight, while another story is about a local band. Anyway, everyone in Bunol seems (have) a different story. Before the tomato fight, there are parades(游行), musical bands, street parties and so on.
On the day of the fight, shopkeepers cover (they) windows and doors in order to (keep) away from the tomato fight. At the same time, (thousand) of tourists and local people come to the town square together. Then large trucks(卡车)full of tomatoes arrive. From the back of the large trucks, a great town band start to throw tomatoes at (other). Then the crowds fight back, throwing the tomatoes at anything and anyone. Soon the streets are in the sea of red tomato juice.
Everyone is supposed to (obey) a small number of rules: You must squash(压烂) the tomato before (throw) it and you are allowed to throw nothing but tomatoes.
It is usually over in less than half an hour. Everyone then sets off to the river to clean up. It sounds fun!
