This month in Travelers Corner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programs.

Mariko Okada--Japan

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca--Brazil

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt embarrassed about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen--Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day. On Saturdays, my alien family took me to lots of interesting places and showed me so many wonderful things about the culture. I’m really glad I went!

"Tammy! Come here, please! Mother needs your help in the kitchen." Her father called out to her.

Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. "Yes, Daddy!" she replied. "I'll be right there."

She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway. She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city. Her brother, Harry, was in middle school and always got home late. With Ella leaving home, Tammy was expected to do a lot more than she had ever done before, especially now, because her mother was ill.

Her father was in the kitchen. "Tammy, I know you usually do your homework right now, but with things being different, we all have to change a little bit. I'll help you and Harry with your homework later on, OK?"

Her father had an apron（圍裙） on over his clothes, and he looked kind of funny. He was doing the dishes and he always splashed（濺出） water all over when he did that. After helping her father with the dishes, Tammy helped set the table.

After supper, her father helped her and Harry with their homework, and then they played a board game so that their mother could lie down for a while.

The next morning, Tammy got up early on her own because she wanted to help her mother with breakfast. She made orange juice and even put bread in the toaster and got out the butter so that her mother could sleep for a few more minutes.

When her mother got up half an hour later, she was very surprised and moved to see the breakfast on the dining table. She gave Tammy a big hug.

"Thank you, Tammy. You really are mother's little helper now, aren't you?"

1.Why did Tammy's sister move out of their home?

A. Because she hated doing housework

B. Because she was busy with her work.

C. Because her school was far away from home

2.From Paragraphs 3 & 4, we can learn that Tammy_______.

A. was a middle school student

B. did well in all subjects

C. always did a lot of housework at home

D. was the youngest child in the family

3.What can we learn about Tammy's father from the passage?

A. He was a very serious person.

B. He wasn't very good at doing housework.

C. He liked playing board games very much.
