NewspapersNo teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV. InternetEvery teenager has some access to the Internet, be it
23、at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visit

32、o-resort, or green hotel, theyre all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry. Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition. Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from. But
33、for many hotels, its also part of their philosophy. With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesnt matter so much as its good for the plane
