Three Things to Do Before You Are 18
Are you bored with your daily life? Hereare 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 water skiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.Try at leastone 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 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 – 18s 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 e-mails 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.
Kobe Bryant first started turning headson the basketball court when he was in middle school. His talents dominated the game so much that high schools from all over the Philadelphia area watched him grow up. The almost six-foot tall seventh grader definitely had the make-up and genes for the game, as his dad was former NBA forward, Joe Bryant. Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eye of hisfather, helping his mission to become a professional basketball player. He worked daily on his game, watching video, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father.
When he entered high school at Lower Marion in Philadelphia, Kobe was a highlytouted recruit. He proved that he had the skills and work ethic to be astar at the next level and the scouts（星探）noticed this Kobe didn't let anybody down either, as he played on the varsity basketball team his freshman year. He wouldn't immediately be a superstar, though. Ratherit was the countless hours of early morning workouts by himself in the gymnasium that escalated Kobe's talents.
Kobe became abetter player every year he played at Lower Marion and soon enough, he had developed into one of the premier talents at the high school level. He sold out the games everywhere he played during his junior and senior years and he didn't disappoint anyone. He once packed the school gym so much that it caused a traffic jam on the main highway just outside the school. He went on to finish his high school careeras the all-time leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2,883 points. Kobe's highly decorated high school career made him the 13th overall choice by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft.
I went on a camping trip in the mountains with my classmates. After hiking all day, we found a place to camp for the night. We made a campfire① so that we could cook our dinner. We roasted some hot dogs and potatoes and drank lemonade. Then, when it got dark, we told ghost stories around the campfire. Later when we lay down to go to sleep, we listened to the sound of crickets (蟋蟀) and small animals moving around in the grass. We thought there were some ghosts nearby.“What's that?” I asked. “I think I can hear someone walking in the woods,”Kathy said. Soon we all heard footsteps and we were all so scared② that we couldn't get to sleep. Of course, there was no one there, but we had wild imagination.
