Letter of the week

BIG QUESTIONS

How can teenagers help to improve environmental problems? Many people ask this question. In my opinion, we need to take care of and pay attention to teenagers so that they grow up to be good adults in the future.

If you close your eyes and look deep into your heart, you will understand the environment — forests, air, water and earth. Every part of the environment is important. Imagine living in a world without water and air. How would the animals and trees live? If there's no air and biodiversity, how will humans live?

Patnaree Petchkrua,
Krabi

I don't think anything will live for very long without water or air, Patnaree. But there's some hope for the future of our fragile planet if young people like yourself are thinking carefully about ways to preserve and improve the Earth's environment and biodiversity. Keep up the good work! — Editor

 


TOP JOB

I'm so glad that I got my first salary for my two month internship with my friend. I felt so proud to obtain new work experience. Although the amount of money I got wasn't much, I'm very happy because it was money I earned myself.

My training was about sightseeing tours and ticket reservations. It was a good job. I hope I will have a great job like that in the future.

That sounds like time well spent, Kanthida. It can be pretty hard to find a job that both pays well and is enjoyable these days, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Well done! — Editor
