Oh, the rain! How Sara hates the rain! She cannot go outside to meet her friends for a game. Her mother says to her, "You may catch a cold if you play in the rain." But Sara shouts, "It's raining, but it's very hot outside!" her mother still doesn't let her out in the rain.

Sara goes up to her room and lies down in front of her window. In fact she has many things to do in her room. There is a TV, some books and toys. But she doesn't like any of them. She opens the window so the rain can hear her. She wishes the rain away but that doesn't work.

"Well, if you're going to be here and ruin(毁掉)my day, you can find something interesting for me to do," she shouts and again she gets no answer. So she sits back down on the window. It is still raining." Fine," she thinks, "l can go swimming, ride my bike and play with my friends when the rain stops." She thinks about her ideas again and again. How she wishes the sun to come out! Soon she falls asleep on the window. She hopes to do all she wants in her dream.

A great way for teenagers(青少年)to be cool during the summer is at water parks. If they live near a waterpark, they may think about getting a season pass. So they can go as often as they like.

They have to find out if there are any water parks around them. The prices are usually good. For example, one ticket to Water World, a water park, is only $ 5.

Some teenagers also like to get a part-time job during the summer to make some money for themselves. They can walk dogs, bring in the newspapers, feed the cats, takeout the trash, water flowers and so on.

What's more, when it's summer, many families go on vacation outside and they often ask someone to look after their houses while they're away. Teenagers can also think about other jobs they can do for those families.

Teenagers love freedom very much. So they would like to get to such places as the shopping mall, movie theaters, the zoo, the beach, and local amusement parks instead of staying at home all summer. Then a summer bus pass will be very helpful. Teenagers need to see if there is such one bus pass for them in their areas.

Such a bus pass costs only $ 10 for the whole summer. The price is not high and also their parents don't have to always drive them to some places, because they can take the bus there.

I'm having a great time in the mountains. The mountains are very high here, so there's snow on the top of the mountains. I'm standing by a big lake. The water is clean. It's quite a different vacation!

My children love animals. So we are visiting a safari park outside the city. In the safari park, animals can live in the nature. They don't stay in cages. I think it's a good idea for both animals and visitors.

This is the first time I visit Europe. My friend tells me about a small city. It's old and beautiful. And there aren't many people or cars, just right for a relaxing vacation. I think he is right.

We are in Beijing for a month. So we choose a good time to visit the Great Wall. There are only a few people. When we walk along the wall, we get to know why it is called" the Great Wall".

The beach is a good place for children to take a vacation. So we bring our three-year-old daughter to Sanya. She enjoys playing with sand. And she is very excited to see the Bluewater coming to her.
