If I could ... - by Patrick
Patrick has just learned the various types of conditional sentences in school, so I gave him this task to practice:
If I could change an important thing in my village, I would open up a center for teenagers. We don't have that yet. I would choose an abandoned house and tear it down. Then I would build a new house instead. It would have several rooms. There would be a cinema, a disco, a sports center, a bowling alley, a reading room, a computer room with internet and other things. All teenagers could meet there whenever they wanted to. Cleaning and repair works would have to be done by all teens themselves. We would have a lot of fun!

That's a very good thing to think of doing or to promote having being done. Maybe you can start a petition and get something like that built. When I lived in America in my area they had recently built a few areas just for teenagers, for support, they had dances, movie nights and everything that teenagers might need. Independence but also getting the feeling like they have people for them. It's very beneficial to have communities with these buildings, it keeps teenagers out of trouble and keeps them feeling better about themselves!
Hello Sara. Thank you for your comment. I was happy about it.
It shows that the problems of teenagers are the same everywhere.
Best wishes,
Patrick
Wow Patrick!
What a great idea! You certainly have a great plan to keep the teens in your area happy and out of trouble! Best wishes on your plan.
In our city, in Texas, they built a really big skateboard park for skateboards, bikes and rollerskates/blades. When it was first built, someone wrote grafity on the walls. The city officials told the kids that it is their park and they will need to keep it looking good. After that, the kids monitor it and there is no trouble there. The kids grades even went up. It's the biggest park in the U.S. for rollers.
