P1: Introduce the topic
If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right But what do other people think about your generation
But other people don’t think so.

Attitudes Some adults
Other adults
The writer
Conclusion
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life — or “IRL”, as you would say

The writer
Conclusion
worried
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents”. They were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
P3: Present the attitude

always, everything
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not.
The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic (热情的) and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
Tip: Examples can make your writing more persuaive.

Homework（translation）
In a unique destination, there stands an ancient castle. Tourists apply for visas and book flights and accommodations. Some choose package tours.
They admire the amazing architecture designed by a famous architect. A extremely narrow path leads to the castle site. Along the way, there are beautiful sights and statues. The local official provides brochures with details about the castle's history. Soldiers guard the tomb of an emperor who once ruled a powerful empire. Tourists can hike around and unearth the stories of the past. They make comments on the wonderful experience.
Thank you!
