Three Things to Do Before You Are 18

Learn to swim Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to do water sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.

Try at least one kind of team sports Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also of great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too ----you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.

Collecting something One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You can collect some kinds of stamps, or you can collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or e-mails from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album(集物薄册) to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.
