Traveling has always been a good way to relax. But this is not true for Xiao Lin(not her real name).
In November, Xiao Lin took a trip to Lijiang, a tourist city in Yunnan province, and had dinner at a restaurant. She had a fight with a group of local people because they made a joke with her while she was eating. Later, they beat her heavily and her face was injured(受伤)badly, reported CCTV.
This made the public very _________(anger). In fact, she is not the first person to be injured at famous scenic spots(景区) in China. Last month, the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局) gave serious warnings to three national 5A scenic spots. It also asked them to change and improve in six months.
The three spots are the Old Town of Lijiang, Jingpo Lake in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, and Laohutan ocean Park in Dalian, Liaoning. According to People's Daily, the three spots received the most complains(投诉) from visitors during this Spring Festival.
“We're sorry for our bad work,” the Old Town of Lijiang government wrote on its Sina Weibo account. “We are open to tourists' suggestions, and will make things right.”
If the three spots don't correct themselves in six months, the National Tourism Administration will remove(去除) them from the 5 A scenic spot list, reported Guangming Daily.
“I'm glad to hear that the spots will improve themselves,” said a Sina Weibo user, who once went to Lijiang but had a bad experience there. “I hope they will change into better ones.”
When did you last say “I love you” to your father? If you can't remember, then you can get the chance this Father's Day on June 19.
Generally compared to(与—相比) a mother's gentle love, a father represents qualities such as independence(独立), confidence, courage and adventure(冒险).
Also, caring fathers help their children get along with others. Fathers can lead their children into their social circle(社交圈). They can al so teach them how to behave and control their feelings.
For example, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was quiet and didn't like to talk with others when he was a little kid. So his father often held family parties and let Bill play games with family members. “my ability of leading and cooperating(合作) became better through games.” Gates once said in an interview with US Fortune magazine.
US actor Will Smith said that his father taught him important lessons through small things. His father once planned to tear(拆) down a wall of their shop and rebuild it. But little Will thought it was impossible. After a year and a half, they did it. “You didn't try to build a wall. You are going to lay a brick every day. And soon you have a wall,” he said on TV show.
“One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters”, British poet George Herbert once said. Do you agree?

Online schools are becoming very popular with many people today. And now, even regular students are going in for online education. As it leaves them with enough time to do other things, such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are two sides about online schooling.
Let's start with the good side. Online schools cost very little. You don't have to spend money on books, or bus fees. Also, since you can work along with studying at an online schools, you would not need to take an education loan. Another benefit of going to school online is the freedom it provides. You can study wherever you want—in your house, at a cafe or even in a park. Some people who want to study further, now no longer have to take a break in their jobs, thanks to online schools.
However, those students who often need a push from their teachers to do well have a very high chance of not doing well at online schools. When studying in a class, different topics in a given subject are discussed and different students give their points of view. This is something that online schooling cannot provide.
Also, there are many employers who prefer students with a regular and traditional degree to those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges have more knowledge compared to those who have online degrees.
In general, it can be said online schools are good for some, while others should give them up! A person should see the situation he is in and then decide whether or nor to choose an online school.
