Peep into Short Stories
In our school every class has its own literature association. Recently a short story writing competition was held in Senior Grade Two. The result was encouraging. A number of articles stood out and they were picked out for an exhibition.
In their stories some students painted beautiful pictures for their futures and some expressed their longings. One of the students was bold enough to write a story commenting① on“calf-love”----the most sensitive② topic for high school students. He wrote:“A big part of people, especially those elders think‘calf-love’isn＇t any good. It should be given up. But I don＇t agree.Another student made a sharp CRIticism on the most unreasonable phenomenon he had ever come across. ”
In his story he stated: “I once met a pitiful old woman who was driven out of home by her daughter-in-law because she had no income to support herself. How cruel and hardhearted that daughter-in-law was! Suppose her own children were to treat her in this same way when she gets old, what would happen to her and how would she feel?”In all, the students expressed themselves freely and expressed feelings of love, hate and jealousy③ in their stories.
Still immature as we are, we＇ve learnt to observe④ with our own eyes and to solve problems by ourselves. Anyhow, we are on our way to maturity. Not only are we eager to understand society but we also want to be understood!

【寫法指要】
本文就作者所在學校短篇小說寫作比賽展覽的兩個話題展開議論：一是中學生早戀問題，二是尊老愛幼問題。這是兩個發人深思的問題。中學生能就這樣的問題注意觀察、發表自己的看法是難能可貴的。作者在文章最后說出了自己寫這篇文章的主題：中學生無論在涉世方面還是在文學創作方面都是不成熟的，但是他們需要了解社會，也需要成人理解他們。
