50 things to do before you’re 18!
If you haven’t turned eighteen yet, Myworld magazine wants to hear from you!
We want your suggestions for a ‘50 things to do before you're 18’ list. Begin with the question ‘Have you ever...?’ we only want ideas you’ve already tried yourself!
Your replies
1. I’ve been amazed how quickly I’ve improved! It's really satisfying. I've been in my own band a year now, and we've even won a few competitions! I’ve made loads of friends that way, too. Everyone you meet likes music, so you've already got lots to talk about. -Kitty, Hull |
2. Well, why not? Bad weather makes us sad, but this is a way to feel happy again. Yes, you do need to feel confident to try this! Some people have laughed at me, it's true-but many more have joined in! -Ben, Penrith |
3. I can’t believe there are people out there who've never seen the sun come up! You don't need to be a poet or an artist to find that beautiful. Oh, and this is an extra idea, but go swimming with dolphins! I did it last summer and now I can’t stop telling everyone how amazing it was. -Lucy Aberdeen |
4. Yesterday I helped to look for a man’s dog. The day before that, I stood up when an old lady got on the bus, and I gave her my seat. These people weren’t friends or family. They were simply people who needed help. And helping them made me feel great. Try it! It's quite surprising. -Prash, Nottingham |
5. I’ve tried red gothic black-and blue! I did it in the school holidays, so teachers didn’t complain. (Warning: check that your parents are cool with this first! You don't want them to go crazy.) Or experiment with different clothes instead. It's great fun. There's lots of time to look when you' re an adult! -Faith Preston |

【题目】 These days, the environment is a huge topic. It seems like we’re always being reminded to recycle, or to ride a bike instead of taking a taxi.
However, it isn’t just rubbish and traffic that can cause harm to the environment.
According to a recent study by the University of California, published by the journal Science Advances, fertilizer (化肥) in farm soils is a major contribution to smog in nearby cities. According to the research, agricultural soils make up of 25 to 41 percent of nitrogen oxide emissions (氮氧化物排放) in California. Nitrogen oxide, or NOx, is a major cause in smog formation.
“Emissions of NOx from agricultural areas are much higher than we used to believe and could be a major source(来源) of NOx statewide,” the researchers wrote in the study.
Just like fertilized farmland, there are many other things that we wouldn’t expect to have a huge influence on the environment. Take clothes for example. Data (数据) published by the World Wildlife Foundation says that every kilogram of cotton takes around 10,000 liters of water to produce.
This means that it takes around 6,000-8,000 liters of water just to create a single pair of jeans, not to mention the carbon produced when they’re made in the factory and then transported to a store.
And even what we choose to eat could be bad for the planet.
In a 2014 study carried out by a professor in New York, US, it was found that beef farming could be causing more harm to the environment than all of the planet’s cars.
So does this mean that we should all stop buying jeans and eating beef? That would certainly help, although it’s not a practical goal.
Instead, a few simple changes could be made. For example, there’s no need to buy new jeans every year when a good pair can last much longer than that.
And when it comes to food, taking the place of the beef in our dishes with chicken or pork every now and then will still mean they taste as delicious.
Indeed, small actions could make a huge difference to our planet.
