back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole
in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to
get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of
course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but
it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to leave in
it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my
home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on
the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the
island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learned to take food from me, and
soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many
years went by.

The place of the family computer may turn into a hot argue as your children get older.

however, that it is possible that your kids are more skilled at computers than you are and may re-
move any blocks you have in place.
Computer Use
The way your family computers are used will play a role in deciding where they should be
placed. A machine used only for homework will need to be in a quiet place where there is low
traffic. One used for chatting online can be in the room where most of the family spend their time.
If Mom and Dad use a computer for work, those needs will also have to be thought.
Space
Space must also be considered in computer placement. The computer will need electricity,
plenty of desk space and a spot away from this bright light of windows. You will not want it
placed in a room where your kids may be noisy.
