15、ing and money do not provide the necessities of a happy life. Great Expectations shows that people of a high social class are only popular among themselves.

16、 do accept these people as part of society, they are their friends. Similarly, money does not provide a happy future. Money can only buy materials. For a truly happy life, one must have healthy relationships, like that of Joe and Biddy. A person with money and no social skills will often become depr
17、essed due to their lack of relationships.Even the poorest person can lead a richer life than the wealthiest man in the world. Happiness comes easy to a happy family that gets along.

22、ill attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange in action
23、. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he
24、had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was law, and all activities were aroun
25、d the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.

26、, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much.

30、t twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry.
