A better town for teenagers

（4） （two）， I believe that we need more places for teenagers to go to． （5） my opinion， teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for us to go to． So we need more（6） （club） and other places where we can meet．
Thirdly， teenagers here need more sports facilities． There （7） （be） places to play ball games so far like tennis and basketball， but what about other sports，（8） skating and rollerblading？
Finally， I'm sure we'll make the town better（9） we don't drop litter． If we all do something（10） （help） now， our town will be much better for everyone in the future．
