12.Some children cannot wait to grow up.Because once you become an adult,you are free to make your own decisions.More importantly,you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young.So,the question is,‘At what age do you really become an adult?'Well,people become adults at different ages in different places.In Australia,the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want.They can vote,learn to drive a car,get married,join the army and even buy their own houses.However,even if they can do all these things,most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult.This is the traditional adult age not only in Australia,but also in the USA and the UK.It is their first year of true independence(独立).Traditionally,people were given a key to their houses by their parents when they turned 21,meaning they could come and go as they like.
Even though 21is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries,the law nowadays is different in each country.In the UK,you can join the army at 16and even get married at 16if your parents allow.Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17as in Australia,although they have to wait until they are 18to vote.
In China,there is a different age for each of the stages of becoming an adult.You can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18,but if you want to get married,women have to wait until they are 20and men until they are 22.Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10years--so when young people turn 20,they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are,becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible(负责任的).Once you are finally able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions,then you can say that you are truly all grown-ups.

The first suggestion you should keep in mind is using a longer approach (助跑).This may cause the most common mistakes.You must be with at least 20feet behind the bar (起跑线) for getting the time to make a better reaction.
Another important suggestion is to feel good with your running speed.Remember this is not a running competition.Try to make suitable for the speed to your body.Run perpendicularly (直立地) to the bar and do the best you can.Even if your friends run faster than you,the important thing is how high the jump is.
Lifting weights will help you improve the body balance.This is very important if you wish to jump high.Try not to do this exercising in the same day when you are planning to jump.You need a good plan for exercising.By lifting weights your muscles (肌肉) will get stronger too.
The only way to jump high is by working hard.You must know that it might take a while until you achieve the performance you wish.Giving up is not a choice.Do your best and someday you will get the best jumping skills in your friends.
