15.For teenagers,it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure,even when you know you're not the first to have been there.But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles,the following tips may be helpful.
◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere.It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn,or you'll have to move to the back seat.
◆Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You'll need a good map,a compass,a raincoat,a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost,and a bit of spare cash for emergencies.Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost,not in seeing how fast you can go,so always stick together,waiting for slower friends to catch up.
◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野識途比賽)activities,in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport,with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C,etc.) in the fastest time,or simply as a spare-time activity.It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills.In some way,it's not only good fun,but also a great way to keep fit.
