voice 1: Thanks for sending this information, Safal. The website looks very interesting. I see that teenagers produce the website too! This is a good idea! They know their audience best - as they are part of it. The website looks like a good place to share ideas and thoughts about teenage life! It also looks like a good place to talk about problems. This is so important in our world today. After all, young people are the future! We need to look after them!
声音1：萨法尔，谢谢你告诉我们这一信息。网站看上去非常有意思。我发现青少年也为创建网站出了力！这是一个非常好的主意！他们最了解这一网站的受众，因为他们也是青年人。看起来这个网站是分享与青年人生活有关的观点和思想的好地方！同时也是谈论问题的好去处。这在当今世界非常重要。毕竟，年轻人就是未来！我们需要关注他们！

voice 2: Yes we do! You know the United Nations have given young people their own day? And it is in August. It was last week. August the twelfth is International Youth Day. People everywhere celebrate the work of young people. They talk about particular problems affecting young people too. This year the central idea was 'Be Seen, Be heard, Youth participation for development.'
声音2：是的，我们在这样做！你知道联合国为年轻人设立了一个专属节日吗？这个节日在八月份，就是上周。8月12日是国际青年日。全世界各地的人们在这一天庆祝青年人的工作。他们也会讨论影响青年人的问题。今年国际青年日的主题是“见其影，闻其声：青年参与，促进发展”。

People all over the world organise different events. It is a chance for people to recognise young people's abilities and possible great futures! One particular concern is to get young people involved in development work. They plan events that will show young people how they can do this. The idea is that the young people should be included in decision making - at local, national and international levels! How did you celebrate International Youth Day in your country?
