But now I don’t 18 any more, especially this year, from my birthday to next day, not much 19 . This month I have several foreign students 20 Chinese with me.

I complained Chinese people didn’t have as many chances as people from the West. But now things are 24 . As is becoming stronger, Chinese is becoming more and more 25 and maybe in the future I can get teaching jobs in foreign countries. I’ll study more and get ready.

Millions of children in the go to summer camps. Some go to play outdoors at traditional camps in the woods, in the mountains or on lakes. But families now have many choices of special camps. These can be in the middle of nature or a big city. Special camps offer young people the chance to learn about different subjects: anything from space exploration to business to medicine.
In technology camps, one subject that children can learn about is video game design. They learn how to use computer programs to create games of their own. One program that teaches video game design is called Cybercamps. Children can learn how to design their own virtual（实际上的） worlds to set their video game in. Then, they program their own rules and objects into the game.
Cybercamps also offers courses in robot building and Web design. A recent story in the Washington Post described how one child made a robot that could sing a song.

One child made a site for Pokemon, one of his favourite cartoon shows.
