A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks. If you live near a water park, you might think about getting a season pass. This way you can go as often as you like.

Check to see if there are any water parks around you. Many are indoor facilities. So even if it isn’t warm enough where you live to swim outdoors, you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.

The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $5.

Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money. Older teens shouldn’t have much trouble finding jobs.

An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business. You can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, collect rubbish, water flowers, etc.

Being that it’s summer, many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they’re away. You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.

Teens love freedom. Sure you would like to get to such places as the small, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, picnic, bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be helpful. Check to see if your area has one for you teens.

Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer. The price is reasonable(合乎情理的) and also your parents don’t have to always drive.

I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.

That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3 rags (破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually 4 unhappy and hopeless.

But this man was 5 in some way. He was not sitting down with a sad expression. Instead, he had a 6 in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.

“Mom, why does that man 7 a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He 8 it.” She replied.

“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 9 for something that he didn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”

That man must care so much about 10 for that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that 11 is the key to life.

Since then I am always thinking of what is truly important in life. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not 12 parts of the life. What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
