Is the summer vacation long enough to turn life for the better? Every person has his or her own talents and interests. Find something you care about, and you will see the difference.
Organize a clean-up programme. You could pick up the rubbish with your friends once a week in your neighbourhood. You could also help take care of the plants every few days. Surely,a clean and tidy neighbourhood will be worth(值得的) the work.
Show your love to the old. You can do some volunteer work at the old people's homes. Some old people can't see clearly and they would like you to read to them. No matter what small things you do,you can make them feel loved.
Set up a reading project with your friends. Share your favourite books with them. Either a book or an article can spark a lively(热烈的) discussion and your further thinking. The project is also a good way to find new friends with similar hobbies.
