Some children cannot wait to grow up.Because once you become an adult you are free to make your own decisions.More importantly you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young.So the question is 'At what age do you really become an adult？' Well ，people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want.They can vote （选举），learn to drive a car ，get married，join the army and even buy their own houses.Even if they can do all these things，most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult.This is the traditional adult age in Australia and the USA and the UK.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English﹣speaking countries the law nowadays is different in each country.In the UK you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents allow.Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17，although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China ，you can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18，but if you want to get married，women have to wait until they are 18 and men until they are 22.Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years﹣﹣so when young people turn 20，they can expect a big party!

When we first moved here，we didn't have a garden.Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard，but we couldn't agree on where.Before we went ahead and dug up the grass，we spent some time thinking about where it would work best.At last，we chose an old sandbox（沙坑） in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables.We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space，then plants can grow in it.And they gave us lots of ideas.My sister was the most knowledgeable，so we listened mostly to her.At first，Mike made a wood fence（栅栏）and I painted it with the kids.We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.
Next，Mike dug 17 holes.Then we filled them with soil（土壤）.It was still too cold to plant anything，so for days I just stared out the window at these holes.To me，it looked much too untidy.I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones.This time we ended up with 10.Much better.
Over the next few weeks，I worked on getting everything planted in my garden.I started by planting green onion.But I was too excited and planted it too early.Right away it was clear that it wasn't going to survive.I had to give it up and try something else.Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden.A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers，tomatoes and so on.Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden.Oh well!
