Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after that it’s too late.
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. Basketball, football and baseball are team sports that 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.
Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under 18 is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or emails from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.

Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.
More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined(罚款). Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively(分别地).
As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone，he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.
Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

Have you ever recycled? To recycle is to take rubbish and make it into something new. Recycling is good for our planet because it makes litter into something that we can use again. Recycling also helps to clean up the litter that makes our streets look dirty.
All kinds of things can be recycled. The most common materials(材料) like glass, plastic, paper, metals, cloth are all recyclable. Sometimes these products are broken down to make the same kinds of products. An example of this type of recycling is using paper to make more paper. Garbage can also be broken down to make completely new items(物品) as well!
Some items, like glass, can be recycled forever（永远）! We can use glass items, then break them down and use them again and again. Aluminum(铝)cans are one of the most successful recycled metals. They can be recycled again and again and nearly 60% of all cans have been recycled.
The average（平均） family of four can produce nearly 2,000 pounds of garbage each year. As time goes on, we have fewer places to put all of this garbage in. Recycling is one way to limit（限制）the amount of garbage we need to put into the land.
The next time you toss a can or bottle into the dustbin, look to see if there is a recycling triangle on the label. It is the international sign for recycling. It means that the item you are going to throw in the dustbin could be recycled .
To recycle is to ______.
A. Clean up the dirty things on the street
