This was something that I’d wanted to do since I turned 10 and began to consider myself grown-up.Deciding where to go was difficult.I had to pick somewhere small enough that I wouldn’t get too lost.This,and the fact that you can drink from age 16,made Venice a good choice for our trip.
The absence of cars meant that we were less likely to be run over,and the landmark of the Grand Canal made it easy to find our way around.Venice is small,so everything is within walking distance.My friend,Kat,had been there not long before,and knew the way around a bit.
I had planned to eat nothing but chocolate during the holiday.Instead I found myself living on spaghetti.We spent most of our days wandering around without much purpose—I have parents who like to see everything if they stay with me.
Our evenings were much the same,only colder.I had believed we would meet lots of new friends,and maybe even some Italian boys,but being unable to speak a word of the language made this difficult.We found a little square filled with Italian students,but soon realized that they came here not to meet people but to drink wine with their friends.We were less disappointed by this discovery than you would have thought—it turns out that cheap wine makes an excellent replacement for friends.By the close of the second day we paid $6 to go into a church and have a look around.We visited the Peggy Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art the next day.I was surprised to find myself enjoying the art—perhaps because for the first time I hadn’t been forced into it.

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon)filled the weekend,but the best part—particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m.to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck;and most of all,the tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise,I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal—and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

How green are you?Do you know how to be green?
We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every day and it is harmful to our environment.Though we are young,we can still do something to help.Here are some ideas for you.
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”.Don’t waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution.Before we buy something new,think whether it is really necessary.Maybe the old one is still useful.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”.When we buy things,make sure that they can last a long time.When something is broken,we should repair it instead of throwing it away and buying a new one.Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag.It’s better to use a china (瓷)cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”.Though it takes energy to change something into something else,it’s better than throwing things away or burning them.
So please remember these words:reduce,reuse and recycle.
