写作小栈

2. 依据提示的主题句，第一段重点在于描述青少年犯罪是全球的共同趋势，可列举有哪些青少年犯罪的案例，及其影响为何。第二段则要说明这种种青少年犯罪的根源为何，以及提供解决之道。

构思方向

第一段：列举青少年犯罪的种类及其造成的影响，写作重点在于 what，以 3 至 4 句举例说明青少年有哪些犯罪行为，及其所造成的影响。

第二段：说明青少年犯罪的根源，写作重点在于 why，像是父母因工作太忙无法紧盯孩子、被朋友影响而误入歧途等。

范文：

Juvenile delinquency is a serious problem in Taiwan and around the world. Some delinquents get money through fraud and spend it having fun, but their victims end up suffering. Others race their motorcycles through the streets, enjoying the high speeds but ignoring other people's safety. Still others fight and end up getting hurt or being put in jail. These kinds of criminal behavior expose our society to danger.

In my opinion, the root of the problem lies in a lack of sufficient parental guidance. In this day and age, working parents are too busy to keep track of their children at all times, which may result in teenagers having poor academic performance or even being led astray. To stop juvenile delinquency, families, schools, and society as a whole should work together to give the youth of today more love and increase their sense of achievement.

　　青少年犯罪在台湾和全世界都是个严重的问题。有些青少年罪犯靠诈骗手段骗钱玩乐，受害者却得承受苦果。有一些则在马路上飙摩托车，享受高速的快感，却罔顾其他人的安全。还有一些青少年罪犯则因斗殴受伤，或因而入狱服刑。这种种的罪行让社会暴露在危险之中。

　　依我之见，这个问题的根源在于缺乏父母的充分引导。现今，忙于工作的双亲无法随时紧盯自己的孩子，这可能会让青少年的学业表现不佳，甚至还会被人影响而误入歧途。要阻止青少年犯罪，家庭、学校和社会 3 方必须通力合作，给这个时代的年轻人更多关爱，并提升他们的成就感。
