There's a lot for teenagers to do! Trying new thing is a great way to become more independent, explore your own interests and learn about other places and cultures. 1.
What about going to a festival? 2. Camp festival has The Den, an area for 13-17 year olds, with music, DJs, workshops and activities. - no adults allowed! The three-day Larmer Tree Festival has an excellent Youth Zone where you can chill out(放松). 3. I’d also recommend(推荐)the Citadel. That one is a one-day event, so it's an ideal first-time festival.
What could be better than hiking(远足)in the countryside and staying somewhere beautiful overnight? The Youth Hostels Association has over 200 places to stay in England and Wales, and many of them are close to national parks. The hostels are clean and warm, and they have everything you need. Last summer, I went youth hostelling for four days with a group of friends in the Peak District. 4. What we really liked was being able to cook all our own meals in the kitchen. A one-night stay costs less than ₤20, so it's a bargain.
5. You won't have to organise anything because there are adults to help. But don't worry, they won’t tell you what to do, and you’ll get a lot of freedom to do what you want. Some tours even include volunteer programmes, language programmes or specialities such as photography, so there's something for everyone. One thing's certain: you'll meet lots of other young people and have a great time.
A. Here are just a few ideas
B. We stayed each night at a different hostel.
C. You’ll need a separate ticket for each journey.
D. Camp Bestival and Larmer Tree are really teen-friendly.
E. It's a great way to see some of Europe's most amazing sights.
F. There are also over 50 bands to watch on three different stages.
G. If you love traveling, there are plenty of group tours for teens.
Language and culture are connected to each other in so many ways: language names and explains important events and people. When the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) ordered a lunch (so that he didn’t have to leave the gaming tables) there was no word to refer to the bread-and-butter-encased food that has ever since borne his name. Another example is grog, a drink of rum(朗姆酒)mixed with water. The word was coined from the nickname(绰号)of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757)—Old Grog. The nickname came from the cloak(披风)of “ grogram ” which he habitually wore, and it provided the word for watered-down rum which he gave to sailors. In Australia it has become the word for alcoholic(含酒精的)drink of any kind. Both sandwich and grog are known throughout the English-speaking world, and have been borrowed into other European languages—sandwich into French, and grog into German.
In Australia some rather more specialised foods go by the names of local heroes and heroines. The lamington owes its name to Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Cochrane-Baillie, Second Baron of Lamington, who was governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. He was well-known for his concern for the treatment of local workers in northern Qucensland. Another sweet, Peach Melba, was invented in 1892 or 1893 by the French cook Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel, London, to respect the Australian singer Nellie Melba.
Some words have their origin in the sports world. The boxer Larry Foley (1849-1917) stopped boxing at the age of 30, having developed a training school for young boxers. His name is probably the one behind the expression “give someone Larry Dooley". Also a sporting hero was the footballer Roy Cazaly (1893-1963), who is the person in “ Up There Cazaly ” , used well beyond football as an expression of encouragement. He became a great footballer by taking amazingly high marks for the St Kilda and South Melbourne clubs.
