Among the easiest languages to learn include French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian and Swedish.
Did you know that one in six children cannot swim? Moreover, about 54 per cent of the world's total population can't swim.

The world needs more selfless people. Spend your free time to do volunteer work on a project that is near and dear to you in some way. Recognizing your own ability to make a difference is not only empowering and self-esteem boosting, it can offer life-long rewards in your future personal endeavors (think of scholarship applications). Furthermore, this will help you in your university applications --- you finally have something to write about for extra-curricular activities.
Many young people nowadays have little or no contact with the natural environment. There are benefits of active involvement in outdoor adventures and one of the obvious plus points is physical fitness. Other studies show that involvement in the outdoors improve social behaviour.
