Below are the best activities high school students can participate in over the summer vacation.Li Hua's class has a heated debate over all of these topics.

Having a job over the summer is a great way to getwork experience,and it will earn you money that you can use to help pay for college or just for fun.Common summer jobs that high school students have include being alifeguard,cashier,or camp counselor.

Pros:Makingmoney;gaining work experience.Cons:Some jobs for high school students being boring;notrelatingtothe career you want.

Taking classes may not be the most fun way to spend your summer,but they can help you stay on track in high school andprepare yourselfforcollege.Some students take summer classes to improve their grades in a class they didn't do well in the first time;some do it to take a class they wouldn't have time for during the school year,and some use summer classes as a way to take college courses or advanced high school classes.

Pros:Strengthening your transcript;preparing yourself for college.

Cons:Being harder tomotivate yourself to study;not the most enjoyable way to spend the summer.

Summer camps for high school students are being created.Many students attend these programs to learn new skills or improve skills they already have.For example,a summer camp can help youimmerseyourselfinthat subject and reallyfocusonlearning it since there are fewer distractions,and you'll be surrounded by people with similar goals.

Cons:High cost;the number of academic credits you receive being not very much;getting homesick;some programs may not being very beneficial or enjoyable.

Volunteering is when you do work that benefits others without receiving payment.In addition to the benefit of helping others,it's often possible to choose volunteer work that relates to your interests.If you enjoy working with children,love spending time with animals,or want to work outside,you can often find a volunteer opportunity that allows you to do just that.

Pros:Fulfillinga volunteer requirement.

Cons:Not getting paid;some volunteer work being repetitive and boring.
