A QUICK GUIDE TO SAVING MONEY
As a teenager, it is important to know how to save your money.
You must keep a record of your spending. Use a notebook or some
other means. This can be boring, but it is the best way to make sure you
don't spend too much money. You'll be able to see exactly how much
money you have left at the end of each month. You can also monitor
how you spend your money. Try not to spend too much at the
beginning of the month so that you will have enough money until the
end of the month.
Be smart with your food shopping. Food will be one of your
biggest costs. Buying supermarket value products rather than wellknown brands and shopping at the end of the day when many items are
discounted are some of the simplest ways to save money. Cook your
own meals instead of always eating out.
Don't overpay for transport. Buses remain one of the cheapest
ways to travel around town. Check whether there are any student
discounts or monthly passes available. In certain cities, there are free
buses for tourists that you can use to get t around.
Don't forget to take advantage of student discounts. Many shops
and food outlets offer student discounts. Even when they aren't
advertised, it's worth asking as they are sometimes still available.

A Teenager's Guide to Life
by Muireann Duffy
Everyone says that being a teenager is the best time of your life. That's easy
for you to say when you're old and you decide to look back on your teen years
through your spectacles. Seriously, if anyone says it is easy being 16. you should
just ignore them.
One of the hardest parts of being a teenager is that it's a constant juggling
act. Being organised isn't your main focus. There's nothing wrong with your locker
door failing to close and spilling your books and other stuff onto the floor. As for
your room, forget your wardrobe. Who needs one? The floor is the perfect place to
keep your clothes and it allows you to see them all at once. Never make your bed. A
messy, unmade bed can look just as nice as a perfectly made one.
Your school days are the best days of your life... urgh! School is somewhere
you're made to attend and work yourself to death, just like a prison. Don't worry
about the teachers-just stay on their good side. Homework? All of that is boring.
When you're a teenager, your friends are your life but enemies come just as
easily as friends do. The only way to get over having enemies is to be the bigger
person. Laugh at their jokes, say hello when you see them, smile when they're mean
to you, just like the Kelly Clarkson lyrics: 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
It's easy to write about all the bad things, but even I have to admit that it's
not all that bad. You'll make friends you'll go on adventures with, even when you're
old and grey.
Besides, just be nice to your parents. As for your brothers and sisters, be nice
to them too because friends, money and other things are great, but when it comes
down to it, your family is all you have. In the meantime, take care of yourself and
what you happy.

and processed foods.

of food in hawker stalls and restaurants. However, it should be noted that there is no lack of availability

hours a day, especially in the big cities.

It is also common for people from other ethnic groups to visit their friends' open houses and partake
in these cultural festivals.

ROCK CLIMBING
Rock climbing, also known as mountain climbing, is a sport where
people climb up a natural rock or artificial rock wall. There are two
types of rock climbing: indoor gym climbing which is now very popular
as it is safer and easier, and outdoor mountain climbing which is far
more challenging but also dangerous.
The goal of rock climbing is to reach the top. It tests the climber's
strength and balance. It also provides a great physical and mental
workout. Individuals who are interested in giving this sport a try should
visit an indoor climbing gym first, as it provides a safer environment to
start in. Those who are interested in moving on to outdoor mountain
climbing can join one of the many guided tours available.
The most important climbing equipment is a pair of proper climbing
shoes. Modern climbing shoes have stiff and smooth rubber soles that
protect the feet from sharp, rough rocks. They also provide more
friction and control than normal shoes. Another important piece of
climbing equipment is a modern climbing rope. It is able to stretch
under tension so that climbers will not experience pain when they fall.
Karabiners are also important. They are rings of solid aluminium that
can be opened while climbing. Rock climbers use them to attach
themselves safely to things.
Rock climbing was recently recognised by the International Olympic
Committee as a sport. It is a fun activity, but climbers must remember
that safety comes first.
