Learning holidays for teenagers
http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/may/17/learning-holidays-for-young-teenagers
The headline of the article I’m going to write about is “Learning holidays for teenagers”. It was written by Joanne O'Connor and was published in “The guardian” on the 17th of May, 2013.
At the beginning of the article the author says that young teenagers can spend their holidays, gaining experiences that improve their CVs and university applications. The author describes eight interesting activities which teenagers can do during the holidays. She offers them to become a PGL instructor in Shropshire, mentioning that such courses can be a useful step into the world of work or further education. Joanne O'Connor introduces the Ocean Youth Trust, which offers courses for young people to work as crew members. She adds that on most sailing trips there is a mixture of teenagers and young adults from mainstream backgrounds, alongside those who have been disadvantaged in some way, whether by illness, poverty, bereavement or family problems. The third activity which is given by the Youth Hostel Association, allows young people to follow interests ranging from performing arts to watersports. The author touches upon National Trust Youth Discovery Holidays, which lets teenagers do conservation work around the UK. Also, she outlines an international summer camp, which can be a great way for young people to improve their language skills in France or Switzerland and make friends from other countries. Furthermore, Joanne O'Connor tells the reader about an opportunity to help protect coral reefs and mangrove creeks in the Bahamas. And participants learn how to identify fish species and study their behavior and take measurements while snorkeling. The author characterizes a social enterprise Global Vision International that supports conservation and community development projects around the world. Teenagers have a chance to travel to destinations from Asia to Central America, combining volunteering with cultural and adventure activities. And the last exciting activity, which Volunteer Africa 32 Degrees South offers is the opportunity to combine learning to surf with teaching computer skills to school children in the Eastern Cape.
In conclusion I want to say that British teenagers have a great chance to spend their holidays usefully. They can make their lives more impressive and exciting, but at the same time, they have an opportunity to improve the world. There is a big choice for all tastes. And that’s why I’d like to ask. What, in your opinion, is the best activity which is described above?

In my opinion, international summer camp is the best activity which is described in the article. One of the main advantages – teenagers can improve their knowledge of foreign languages. They somehow or other have to make it better when the language is a way of communication. I believe that young people will do it with pleasure. One more advantage in favour of camp is communication between teenagers from different countries. And in the future the children can continue to communicate on the Internet, and this dialogue will be another good practice of a foreign language. Also it is an opportunity to see the world. Outside of the lessons, teenagers can spend time on excursions, studying the culture of another country and have fun with new friends.
ОтветитьУдалитьTeenagers will take away a lot of good emotions and vivid memories of summer vacation like these.
As far as I concerned, the activity where you protect coral reefs and mangrove creeks in the Bahamas is the most exciting one. You can rest on the sea shore, protect nature and explore amazing flora and fauna of the Caribbean Sea at the same time. Nevertheless, there are some more fascinating activities in the list, for example, an international summer camp or joining to a crew. I think that if I had a chance to try one of them I could not choose at once.

ОтветитьУдалитьI think that international summer camp is the best activity for young people or students. It's a great chance to improve knowledge of foreign language. For many young people this is a good opportunity to see the world and meet new people. Most of these camps are great fun and young people will want to go again.
