How to Pick the Perfect Family Tent
People like camping. But to make sure everyone has a good time, choosing the right family tent is important. Here's how to choose the perfect tent for your family.
First of all, consider the size of the tents. Generally speaking, four-and six-person tents are popular with families. But a couple of features (特点) can make all the difference. For families with small children, a tent with a single entrance is a better choice. This makes it easier to keep track of who's coming and going. Of course, two doors can offer more convenience.
Some tents require two full-grown adults to set them up. Be sure to take the setup into consideration. It may be necessary to go with a smaller model, or even two smaller tents, rather than one large tent for your family.
Or if friends have a tent, see if you can borrow it for a night in your backyard. You'll quickly discover what you like and don't like.
As an alternative (可供选择的事物) , many outdoor shops have rental departments. Do your research to decide what style and size you think would work best, and find out if you can rent that model or one that's similar. Finally, if you are in a rush, ask if you can climb inside the tent at the store.
A. Getting in and out of the tent sounds basic.
B. To save money, you can make one on your own.
C. But you can turn to anyone for help when necessary.
D. It could be a problem if you're the only adult when camping.
E. This will give you a chance to assess (评价) all the features in person.
F. Take the tent you are considering out for a "test drive" before you buy.
G. It's your home away from home, and the place where you'll sleep and relax.
At the far end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusetts, lives a little girl near and dear to the neighborhood. Two-year-old Samantha Savitz is 1, but she loves to talk to anyone who 2 sign language.
"She 3 to talk with anybody," said her father, Raphael. "Yes, her whole character 4 when it's someone who can communicate with her," said her mother, Glenda. On the other hand, if someone can't, that makes Sam just a little 5.
Her 6 for communication has been painfully clear to everyone in the neighborhood. Whenever they see her on a walk or in her yard—and Sam tries to be neighborly—they find themselves at a 7 for words. On their own, Sam's 8 got together, hired (雇佣) a teacher, and are now 9 immersed (专心的) in an American Sign Language class. The teacher, Rhys McGovern, says this is 10 because a lot of times even the parents of deaf children don't take 11 to learn sign language.
"But here Sam has a full 12 that's signing and communicating with her and her family, and it is a 13 story," Rhys said. And he says this will almost certainly make a 14 Sam.
Her parents say there aren't 15 in any language to express their thankfulness. "It's really 16," Glenda said. "We are so 17," Raphael said. In fact, they said they're already seeing a 18 in their daughter.
"The first thing she says to us is 'friend'," said one neighbor. "I think your 19 would melt (融化) just as mine did," said another neighbor. What 20 a "good neighborhood" is nothing more than good neighbors.
