   Being young is about all the good things in life- good looks and good health.But being young is also about some bad things一being lacy or being irresponsible （不負責(zé)的）.People seem to think more about their bad things，so they wouldn't like to make friends with young people.
   But when it comes to Generation z，those born between 1995 and 2009，that may not be true.Gen Zers work harder than people think.For example，a study by Bank of America shows more than half of the young people aged between 18 and 23 in America are thinking about buying a house within five years.And they're not just saying it.To make this dream come true，they'd like to get two or three jobs and don't just spend their money on food，drinks and clothes.They also spend money on their education with the hope of being better.Although they're young，they are thinking about how they will help themselves to make their dreams real.
  Gen-Zers not only care about themselves，they also care a lot about many other things.They think they should help better the world.In.India，for example，as soon as young people are old enough，they will vote for（ 選舉） new country leaders who can deal with the problems that are important to most of them，such as women's jobs.
   Gen-Zers do different things in different countries.But all in all，they are not the same as people always think of them.As a Gen-Zer yourself in China，what is your dream？
