Fun activities for Teens to do in the summer.

Do you feel bored with the upcoming summer? We asked parents for ideas for things that teens can do and here are some suggestions for fun activities for you to do in the summer.

#1________

Visit older family members and interview them about the past of your family. You could use a smartphone to record some of the conversation. Things to ask about:

• What did you eat?

• Who was your favorite family member?

• What did you do to make yourself happy?

•What was it like when you were a teenager?

#2________

Not only will you make your parents really happy, but you will find all those lost CDs/books/socks that are hidden under the bed.

You can now have a yard sale for the things you no longer want, and make yourself some pocket money at the same time.

#3________

Put together a memory book. It could be about primary or junior school since you're heading to high school:

•friends made     best memories

•favorite teachers • favorite subjects

•hopes/feelings about going to high school, etc.

#4________

Get down and work on the farm and have a bit of fun. You never know you might love driving tractors and feeding cows and horses. If nothing else, it will give you a good taste of what a hard life farming is.

    Walden is a quiet small town in England. Cars aren't allowed into the center of the town, so it's very enjoyable to walk around it.

There is a famous museum in Walden. It's very big, and it usually takes people at least half a day to visit the museum. It brings history to life. You can even ride a horse and cart in the streets. I was really interested in a 1950s' living room in the museum. It was just like my grandma's house when I was a child. If you can wait, you will see a new exhibition（展览）opening soon. Walden is famous for one thing—candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you to learn about its history. I never see so many kinds of candy.

    Have a look around the town of Walden while you're there. If you start in the main square and follow the green signs, they'll take you to the museum and you'll see lots of other interesting things on the way, too.

Hi Headmaster,

    What a great idea! I really would like to come to the opening ceremony. Reading can help people benefit a lot. I'm a fan of reading, and this opening ceremony is the best way to make students have a better understanding of reading. I can help to organize some activities. I can also invite other parents to come to our opening. I already have a great idea about how to do that.

Wang Ming

Dear Headmaster,

    Thanks so much for planning this. I'd like to come to the opening ceremony, but I'm not available. My family is going to take a trip to Moscow at the end of this month to visit my aunt and uncle. However, I'd still be glad to help out with any of the opening ceremony preparations, like buying some necessary things. Let me know if you need my help.

Peter

Dear Parents,

    I would like to invite you to the opening of our new library at No 9 High School. The opening will be on the morning of Thursday, June 8 at 9: 00. After this, you can enjoy our school concert. Then lunch will be in the school hall at 12: 00. I would also like to invite each parent to bring one book as a gift for the new library. Please reply in writing to this invitation by Friday, May 20_th.

Headmaster

    What do you usually do in your spare time? Chatting online is now a national pastime in China, especially among the post-90s and post-00s generation. To some people, however, online chats can seem like a kind of polite conversation. Yet hidden rules and standards do exist, as long as you take the time to look for them.

    Get to the Point

    When sending a friend request, include your real name and any other identifying information. Remember, everybody's time is precious. If there's something you want, cut right to the chase. Never send an "Are you there?" without any follow-up messages. The quicker that you get to the point, the more likely the other person is to reply.

    Send the Right Things

    Please send texts, not voice messages. It might be easier for you to speak than type, but what about the person on the other end? They may be unable to listen to a 59-second message right now. Also, never send personal information by voice message—it is hard to note down. Emojis, GIFs and memes can save the day when you find yourself in an embarrassing conversation, or words fail you.

    Try to Understand

    You can always judge a person's mood by their text messages. If the person you're talking to says "Good night" or "I'm going to take a shower." that's probably not what they're actually going to do, it is just an excuse to stop talking to you. If someone hesitates for longer than three seconds before saying "Yes", they probably really mean "No". If you receive these emojis from friends who are older, read them literally (照字面地) (as a smile, a wave or a laugh). For the post-90s and post-00s generation, however, they could be speechlessness.

    As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end world hunger.

    It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was "not a cup, but a cow".

    Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.

    On Heifer International's website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources (资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.

    The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal's first female (雌性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.

    However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.

    Set your imagination free. Children's imagination is amazing. They can always create things that surprise everyone. To 1 children's imagination ,New York City will hold an activity called the Inventgenuity Festival (创意发明节) for children.

The Inventgenuity Festival is all about thinking and 2things. It's held for children aged from seven to sixteen. Parents are also able to 3the festival.

    There will be many different kinds of workshops in the festival. Children are 4to create things in those workshops. For example, they can make things 5funny hand-made T-shirts or cartoon toy dolls. No one will tell them6to make these things. They create everything with their imagination. Besides making things, children can see a wonderful movie called A trip to the Sun in a 7during the festival.

    In the festival, children are asked to do most of the work by themselves.8, if the work is too difficult for them, they can ask their parents for 9 .

    To take part in the festival, children need to register (注册) first , and then 10the workshops they like on the website. One child can take part in two workshops at a time.

During the World Cup, football fans from all over the world came to Russia to cheer for their national teams. Many had a chance to taste Russian food for the first time.

David Gregory is a football fan from England. He says, "We have been eating some traditional Russian food. Smoked meat and bean soup, lovely, and I have had the mutton stew(烩羊肉). "His friend Simon Jones tried other dishes." l had the chicken wings and the smoked bean. Great food, great culture."

Some Brazilian fans tried dishes that went beyond traditional Russian food. Marcello Magalhaes from Sao Paulo said his group tried a cheese filled with bread called khachapuri, a dish from Georgia, It was served in the shape of a boat. He said, "It was a pasta (意大利面) with an egg yolk (蛋黄) and alight cheese. It was really tasty so 1 ordered another and another and another."

Beer has been a popular drink among fans as well. One bar manager decided to give his customers a special treat. He served them beer in a traditional Russian container that was usually used to heat water for tea.

It's said that many fans went home with new favorite foods after that.

A group of children from poor families from all over China gather at a baseball camp in Beijing. They live and train together, hoping to change their life through (play) baseball.

This is the story of the film Tough Out(《棒！少年》). It came out on December 11, 2020 and it is one of this (year) best films with a score of 8.7 out of 10 on Douban.

These children are being helped by Power Baseball Angels, a charity(慈善) programme launched in 2015 by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of China's national men's baseball team.

"Baseball changed my personality, teaching me rules and how (live) life. Without it, I would have probably become a bad boy," Sun told China Daily. Sun wants to help poor children in same way.

Ma Hu is one of the stars of the film. He (raise) by his grandmother in a poor village. He often fights others and almost never follows the rules at first. But with the guidance of his coaches, he learns to comfort his teammates instead when they lose a game. "I behaved (bad) back then," Ma said. "I'm not like that anymore. My goal is to become a member of the national team in the future."

The film hopes to draw attention to the 40 million children who live in poor (condition) in China. Just like Ma, many of the kids in the movie are left-behind children. They don't have much money, education parents' care. How can these (problem) be solved? The baseball charity programme is offering hope to these kids.

There is a new restaurant which is called the Robin Hood Restaurant in Spain. It is named after Robin Hood, a hero who steals from the rich to help the poor. Though named Robin Hood, it doesn't mean anyone can 1 in the restaurant. In this restaurant, the poor 2 have the opportunity to enjoy very expensive food for the rich.

During the daytime, Robin Hood is a 3 restaurant which serves coffee and Spanish dishes for breakfast and has a lunch menu. At night, it turns into an amazing restaurant, serving free dinners to the 4 people. The money that is 5 earlier in the day is used to offer free dinners later that night. It's a nice dinner, prepared by cooks who work in five-star hotels. The restaurant seats 50 people a time and there are 6 times of seating for dinner, so each night the restaurant feeds totally 100 homeless people. Since the opening, the restaurant has become very7whenever day or night.

And the Robin Hood Restaurant is about a lot 8 than just providing food. In addition to warm and hearty meals for the homeless, it is a rare 9 for the homeless to eat with the same dignity(尊严) as any other customer. They can sit at the table 10, with a nice tablecloth, fine forks, knives and glasses.

The restaurant is run by an organization called Messengers of Peace, which was 11 54 years ago by Father Angel. Messengers of Peace has been running many other 12 as well, including a church that offers free coffee and tea, free meals and Wi-Fi, and even places to sleep. Talking about the restaurant, Father Angel said, "it is very important that everybody should be treated with 13, whether it's through bread or through work. So, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths and proper cutlery（餐具） and waiters? At night people with 14 can come and eat here in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else."

The Robin Hood Restaurant has become quite the hotspot. The 15 is to open more around Spain so that the spirit will be spread. It's an initiative(倡议) of Spain's Messengers of Peace and Father Angel.

Do you know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now? "Short videos" are certainly the most popular. Some users use Tik Tok and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have other purposes as well

A 12-year-old user called Elsa has about 2.7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. "I feel really glad to share happiness with people by short videos," said Elsa.

As some videos are about the latest news, a group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. "Because I can't spend many hours watching a whole video and I'm a very impatient person. I don't like waiting for a program to end. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in program." said Wang Zhihao.

However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. "Killing time is the main reason for me to watch the short videos, but many are almost the same, so I think it is a waste of time. What's more, I really don't like the videos which show odd even dangerous things," said Wen Nan, another college student.

Recently, something else has happened. Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying.

But after they buy the products, they may regret soon, So they should think twice. Some short videos even sell bed products, but these sellers won't let you get your money back.

A yearbook is a tradition of high school life in the United States. The book contains(包含) the name, photo, and signature(签名)of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old girl Catherine Cook and her brother David wanted more than this. They thought, "Why not have a yearbook online? You could learn about people's music tastes, the movies they like, and so on. "

Catherine thought of the name- my Yearbook. com, and the logo(图标). To advertise the site, Catherine and David wore T-shirts with the site logo to school and soon hundreds of their schoolmates became users of the site. She spent many evenings talking on the phone to programmers in India, and collecting ideas from her schoolmates. Then her older brother Geoff came up with the money to start up the website.

My Yearbook users can join in the fun by sending messages and" collecting" friends. They can watch the same videos from films and TV programs, and share music, photos, homework and study guides. Some teens feel they can make friends more easily online. Chatting online helps some shy people not to feel left out.

Users can also make" Lunch Money" by doing activities on the site. They can then spend their Lunch Money on gifts, or donate(捐赠)it to charities. They have saved 0.3 km² of rainforest, cleaned up million kg of CO₂, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kg of rice for people without enough food.

Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from finishing their schoolwork successfully, and going on to university where they still spent 50 hours a week on the site.

Waking up in the morning is difficult, and sometimes a ringing alarm clock can't get you out of a sweet dream. Now people in Japan have a better helper.

Fisherman Japan is an organization whose purpose is to make fishing cool again. Recently, it started an interesting wake-up call service to help people who have trouble waking up in the morning. The service is called Fisherman Call. Japanese fishermen will call registered (注册的) users to wake them up and start a short conversation that is sure to get them out of bed.

Fisherman Call is a free service. All you have to do is to register online and give your name, phone number and the time you would like to be called by a fisherman. You can even choose your own fisherman from the list online. You can see a picture of each one of the fishermen, find out their work time and even listen to a recording of their voice to see if it's the first voice you want to hear in the morning. Then, all you have to do is to go to sleep.

Most of the fishermen wake up in the early morning, and finish most of their work by 6 a.m. So however early you plan on waking up. They'll probably be able to help you do it.

Fisherman Call is a real service, but another purpose of it is to connect Japanese youth with fishing, one of the oldest professions in the country. It is reported that the fishermen won' l try to persuade you to do the job during the morning phone conversation. But the idea is to increase people's interest in the fishing industry. In fact, it's already working.

    In the United States and  (几个，数个) other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their  (家乡). Their parents and other  (成人) in the community instruct them to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the fields and uniforms.

"Sean, I don't want to ask you again. There are trash bags in the trunk of my car from the party the other night. Please1 the trash."

"Okay, Dad."

As a light-hearted teenager, I often 2  to empty the trash bags in Dad's Ford. However, I told my father I would, because I had a lot of things to do that Saturday afternoon. I had asked my dad if I could use the Ford, 3  he said no because it wasn't his car. He 4  it from his friend. Later I took it anyway because he was 5  and I was sure he wouldn't notice. 

I enjoyed myself and felt great. On the way home, though, I hit the back of the car which was in front of me6 was seriously hurt, but both cars were seriously damaged. I would never forget the most terrible7 of my life. 

Dad, I had an accident. "8 ? ARE YOU OK?""

"The cars are damaged. No one's hurt," "IN WHICH CAR?"

9  car."

"NOOOOOOO!!!" By this time I was holding the phone six inches away. And my ear 10 hurt.

I had the car pulled to the repair shop to see if they could save it. Since it was 11 , they told me they wouldn't be able to work on it until Monday. On Monday my dad received a call from there pair shop. The manager said that when his people opened the trunk to 12  the car, the smell of trash (the trash I forgot to empty) was so awful that they 13 to work on the car. 

For the next several weeks I was in the doghouse. It wasn't just the crash he was so mad about. He was mad because I'd broken two 14 : "I won't take your car, Dad." and "Don't worry, Dad. I'll take the trash out of the trunk. "I deeply regretted what I had done. It took me a 15 time to rebuild my relationship with my dad again.

China kik-started its seventh Space Day celebrations themed “Space inspires dreams" on April 24,2022, which aimed to inspire the public to learn scientific knowledge, generate innovative (创新的)ideas and carry forward the scientific spirit. Here is a table for you to learn something.

On April 16, Shenzhou XⅢ astronauts safely came back to Earth.

The landing set a new speed record. When Shenzhou XII came back 1 the space station in 2021, it took about 28 hours. This time, it took just 9 hours 2!

It landed upright. This landing position is not often seen in China's space flight history. Landing upright makes sure that astronauts have the 3 landing.

The astronauts felt good after landing. 4 they still needed to sit on chairs. The long space journey changed 5 bodies. In the next few months, they will gradually get used to living on Earth.

April 27 is a special day in Britain. It's called Take Our Daughter to Work Day．It was brought to Britain in 1994 from America. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go with one of their parents to their work places. By doing this, it can teach girls more about the society where they live.

Now the girls can have a close look at what their parents are doing. This may help them to be calmer when they have to choose a job. Mary experienced a day of work at her mother's office. This helped her understand her mother's work better. She said that this made her feel more confident about her future

Schools and many companies support the activity, too. Some schools even make the day a necessary part of school life.

Experts think that girls with more self-confidence are more likely(可能的)to be successful than common girls. If parents can set good examples both at work and at home for them, they will do better than others. Take Our Daughter to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

Family meals are an important part of living with a family. A recent survey shows that most children and teenagers share a meal with their family at least four times a week. This is a very good sign.

Sharing a meal can help a family stick together. Family meals help to strengthen（加强） each family member's sense of belonging. It can also teach younger people about their culture by eating traditional food.

All these help family members learn patience and respect for each other.

 Parents can keep an eye on their children's moods and feelings at this time. They can discuss problems. All these are really helpful in their growth. Studies show that eating together helps to reduce the risk that a child will smoke, get into fight or do something wrong. Family meals help a family build up a healthy body, too. Families who share meals together often eat more fruits and vegetables. These families don't eat at fast-food restaurants as often as families that do not eat a shared meal.
