If you live near the beach, make an effort to be there every day or every weekend if you can. Or, if you’re taking a vacation to a beach locale, do some research and pick a spot where there are popular beaches for sunbathing, surfing, or other water sports, depending on what you’re looking to do.  Make sure you know what the water temperature is if you’re planning on swimming or surfing! The Atlantic Ocean is generally a lot warmer than the Pacific, for example. Be prepared with a wetsuit if necessary. If you’re vacationing, try heading to a warmer location in the winter months, like Mexico, Bali, or the Caribbean, to maximize beach time. If you live in a beach town, get paid to spend more time on the beach and support your lifestyle by getting a job as a surf instructor, a lifeguard, or a salesperson or server at beachside shops and restaurants. Get out to the beach in the early morning to catch the best waves (or just to chat up some surfers!). Check out local tide charts, buoy reports, and information about the breaks at a given beach to find the best times and conditions for great surf. Though you’ll probably spend most of your time on the beach during the day, head down on weekend nights to see if there’s a bonfire, party, or other event going on and join in the fun.

One-sentence summary -- Get to the beach as often as possible. Get a job near the beach. Head to the beach early to catch the surf. Check out beach parties at night.

Q: If you place your stand in front of your house, only a few of your neighbors will see you. Instead, choose a location that gets a lot of foot traffic, so more people will know you're in business. Local parks and beaches are good options, especially on a nice day.  You can also ask your church or a local grocery store if they’ll give you permission to set up your stand by their entrance. Make sure you ask permission before setting up your stand on private property. Make a schedule of local events. If there are street festivals or sporting events, set up your stand nearby.  Think of where people will be warmest and thirstiest. People who've been laying out on the beach or have just played 18 rounds of golf in the sun will be more likely to buy your lemonade.  Be aware of the weather. If the sun if very hot on the day you want to work your stand, make sure to choose a spot with a lot of shade. At the very least, your stand will need to have a good, sturdy table and chair for you to sit in. Make sure you put them on level ground, so your stand doesn’t wobble and spill lemonade all over the place. It’s also a good idea to cover the table with a tablecloth or blanket in a bright color that attracts attention.  Make sure the fabric reaches to the ground in the front of your table. That way, you can store extra supplies underneath the table, but not let your customers see the clutter down there. Set up your pitchers, cups, napkins, and straws in a neat arrangement. The tidier your stand looks, the more people will want to visit. If you’re planning on working at your stand for a long period of time, you want it to be as comfortable as you can make it. Keep water on hand in case you get sick of drinking lemonade for refreshment. You should also put a comfy or soft cushion on your chair to keep your bottom from getting sore. If the weather's hot, keep a battery-powered fan on hand, or fan yourself with a piece of paper.  If you're out there long enough, you might find that the shade moves away and exposes you to the sun. If that happens, shut down your stand for half an hour and move it to a shadier location. Make sure you wear a lot of sunblock to protect your skin against the sun, as well. There’s no right or wrong way to decorate a lemonade stand. All that’s important is that it looks good and you have fun doing it.  You can print out lemonade-themed decorations from the internet and tape them to your stand.  Try to draw your own decorations. You can draw lemons, glasses, and pitchers full of ice-cold lemonade, or the sun, the beach, and anything else that makes you think of lemonade. Maybe you could put fresh-cut flowers on your stand, or use colorful straws and napkins instead of plain white ones. Make sure to make a nice, larger sign saying what your stand sells and how much you’re charging. Place it somewhere passersby can't miss it. A good spot is the part of your tablecloth that hangs down to the ground. Even if you’re in a good location, you want everyone in the neighborhood to know you're in business. Make signs advertising your lemonade stand and place them around your stand to drum up some business!  You can use regular sheets of white printer paper or colorful construction paper to catch the eye. Use different colored markers to advertise your lemonade stand. Make sure you include the price for each glass of lemonade and either directions or an address for your stand. Ask your friends to not just visit, but to tell their other friends about it and bring some along! Post about your stand on your or your parents' Facebook page to let as many people as possible know when and where you'll be setting up.
A: Choose a location. Set up your stand. Make it comfortable. Decorate your stand. Draw signs advertising your stand. Spread the word.

Article: Caterpillars have many different forms, but most of the ones you’ll see crawling around in the wild will have the same general shape. Beware that it’s easy to get caterpillars confused with worms, so look for the small segments on the body to tell the insects apart. There are many different species of caterpillar, and they can range in length and width. All caterpillars will have the same body parts. Look for a head, which will have a pair of jaws for eating plants, a thorax, which contains most of the caterpillar’s legs, and a long abdomen, which can also have a few sets of legs. If you’re having trouble identifying these parts, look at the caterpillar under a magnifying glass for a closer view. If you’re not sure whether you’re looking at a caterpillar, check by counting the insect’s legs. There should be 3 sets of 2, or 6 total legs, on the thorax, which is right behind the head. Look for up to 4 extra sets of legs at the middle and end of the caterpillar’s abdomen. The caterpillar will sometimes lose the legs on its abdomen before forming a cocoon, so it’s best to rely on the thorax legs to confirm whether an insect is a caterpillar or not. Usually, caterpillars will live near or on the plants that they eat. When you find a caterpillar, try to identify the plants around it, and observe as it eats the leaves, flowers, or even fruit in its habitat. These can give you a better idea of what species of caterpillar you’re looking at.  For example, Monarch butterfly caterpillars tend to live on and eat milkweed. In contrast, centipedes, millipedes, and worms tend to live in the dirt, under rocks, or in rotting wood.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Look for an insect with a long, tube-shaped body in small, rounded segments. Identify the 3 major segments of the caterpillar’s body. Count the number of legs on the thorax. Watch the insect to see where it lives and what it’s eating.
