Three Things to Do Before You Are 18

　　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．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 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．
