Have you ever been ill？ When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work, you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs（细菌）. Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut（割开处）,some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.
Now more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don't know how to do housework, because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big problem.
Mary is 14 years old. One day her parents went on a trip, so she was alone at home. At first she thought she would be happy because her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. But when it was six o'clock in the afternoon, she felt hungry. "Oh, it's time to have supper. Where can I get my food?" she said to herself. Later she found some meat and vegetables in the fridge （冰箱）, but she didn't know how to cook them. At that time, she missed her parents very much. At last she could only go to a restaurant to eat.
Many teenagers have the same problem as Mary. So I think they should learn some life skills （技能）, like cooking, cleaning up their rooms or dressing themselves. They shouldn't depend too much on their parents.
