既要赚钱也要义工，暑假备未来
打工赚零花，义工献爱心，游大学，备开学，暑假在美国大结局
Q：In previous sessions, we have covered topics such as exciting summer camps, hardworking summer school, adventurous vacations, and nice local activities.
L: But summer is more than just the contrast between having fun and working hard. My sister, she has lots of work to do but enjoys her job.
Q: 是的，夏天并不单纯是辛苦学习开心玩耍的这种对比，对于有些大小孩，夏天也是赚零花钱的时候了，那是既辛苦也愉快的。美国社区里有鼓励青少年尽早独立的传统，朋友邻里之间乐于提供大小孩工作的机会。这可以是家教tutoring，范围可以是学习有关的，也可以是教下棋这样娱乐的。可以是babysitting 看小孩，洗车，dog walking( 遛狗），剪草（mowing）这样偏家务体力的。正规的快餐连锁店，也可以雇佣14岁以上的孩子做收银员Cashier。很多人的第一份赚钱的工作就是从这里开始的。
L：I’m probably too young to work for others, but my older sister provides violin tutoring（私人指导） to elementary kids. She makes good money out of that. She loves working with kids and is very good at playing the violin. I need to find a way to make money when I grow older. My mom has paid me to teach her swimming, which is my starting point.
Q: 这么小就赚钱了！真能干啊。what is your plan of making money?
L：I think I will write stories and publish books. I want to be an author. It feels good to make money, and an added bonus is that my job will get more serious. I enjoy writing so if I could make a living out of that I’d be extremely happy. I can buy what I want if I use my own money, so my parents don’t have to say that they have to pay for what I want.
Q: 赚钱增强独立性与责任感，Lindsay的姐姐给附近小孩子陪练小提琴，Lindsay教妈妈游泳，都是用自己学来的本事赚钱，Lindsay还打算出书挣更多呢。说完赚钱的，还有做义工volunteer。比如去附近医院陪伴病人，去马场照顾马匹，动物收容中心照看流浪猫狗，或者去给穷人分发食物的地方，义工机会也很多。
L：We visited nursing homes when we were at school for trips.
Q: Nursing house 是老人院，很多青少年都长期在老人院做义工。另外一件大事就是参观大学，During summer, high school kids also join many college campus tours. They need to prepare for college application.
L: And the final thing that we all have to do is to buy the requested school supplies for next school year.
Q:最后一件要做的事情就是备好下学期开学所需。一般学校老师会提供一个supply list，夹子了本子了文具了，品牌门类说的清清楚楚，买好了开学带到学校作为一年所需。每个年级都会有不同要求。
L：So, this is our summer. If you think it’s busy, you’re correct. But I still think summer is the best time of a year. What makes this summer special is that I have the opportunity to share with everybody my summer. Thanks for listening.
Q:也谢谢Lindsay告诉了我们这么多美国青少年的暑假生活。现在还是八月，还有很长的假期才会开学。听了美国青少年的假期生活，有什么是可以马上借鉴的？最容易践行的还是大量阅读。不能强调更多它的重要性。 We cannot emphasize more how important reading is. 所以，我们又开了一档专辑，专门介绍美国青少年的阅读世界 ”奇想英文书世界“。欢迎大家继续关注。如果你有什么问题或者感兴趣的话题，欢迎留言告知。
好了，暑假在美国就到此结束。希望大家暑假丰富又愉快，获得满满收获。新专辑再见！
L：Goodbye!
