Travel can teach kids more than a textbook. Travelling with kids is good for them. They can find new interests. Travel makes information alive for kids, and makes it much more exciting than studying textbooks or doing experiments in the laboratory. While travelling, they learn how to deal with new situations, and communicate with other people. They learn patience, because sometimes it takes a long time to get to some exciting or interesting places.

    I've been travelling since I was seven years old. For me, to stop travelling would be like taking something away from my soul（灵魂）. I can't live without travelling. Some people think it's hard to travel after having kids. But in my opinion, when people become parents, it doesn't mean they can't travel any more. My children have been travelling since they were three weeks old.

    Bringing a new life into the world comes with many responsibilities（责任）and I'd love to be a good mother. One of my duties is to educate my children. I'm so thankful that my parents took me on family trips when I was young. I've learned that the outside world is more colorful than the little one I was living in. Of course, I want to pass these travel experiences on to my children.

    I value the memories I have travelling with my children. I'm sure they will always remember them in their lives.

    Now, we're getting happier and happier. But in fact, everyone worries. How do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to do with them:

1）Try to find out what you're worried about.

    Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not.Try to find it out first; If you can't, you can ask for help.

2）Think of ways to make it better.

    There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.

    If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her,etc.Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

3）Ask for help.

    When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to.You can ask your parents, friends or teachers for help.

    Once upon a time, a cat and a mouse were good friends. They lived a happy life in the same house. One day they went to the market and bought a big piece of cheese. They put it under a tree for winter.

    A few days later, the mouse wanted to eat the cheese. He told the cat that he had to join a baby's birthday party and then left. The mouse ate half of the cheese and returned home. When the cat asked him what the baby's name was, the mouse said" Half­gone".

    After a few days, the mouse wanted to eat some cheese again. He told the cat he had to join another baby's birthday party. He finished the other half and told the cat the baby was called "All­gone".

    When winter came, the cat went to the tree to get the cheese. But he found nothing. From then on, mice and cats were not friends any more.

    Do you often think of life in the future？Will we study at home？Will we have robots？Will we fly to the moon easily？Everyone may have his or her views about that. Life in the future will be very different from life today. Between then and now many changes will take place, but what will the changes be?

    There will be changes in our food. Maybe no one will eat meat. Instead, people will eat more fruit and vegetables. People will stay away from junk food. Maybe people will be healthier.

    Computers will be small and useful. Maybe we will even put the computer into our pockets(口袋). There will be at least two computers in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects at school.

    Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work can be done by robots. People will work fewer hours than they do now. And they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling.

Life in the future

    For most people, summer holidays mean sun, sea and sand, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She had a holiday full of ice and snow. She and her family travelled across Greenland! Starting just above the Arctic Circle (北极圈), Sarah's family used dogsleds with kites to cross the world's biggest island.

    Sarah says {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. "There is only snow, ice, and more snow. " The family travelled 15 miles a day for 22 days, moving faster when strong winds pushed along their kites.

    Then the weather became a bit hot for the dogs to pull sleds during the day, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The Landrys lived in tents, ate dried food, and took baths with heated water. When they weren't travelling, they played with kites and made snowmen. Using their mobile phones, the family could send and get emails even from Greenland's ice cap! The road to the top was icy and dangerous.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Icebergs (冰山) were so bright, just like the rising sun." said Sarah. Now she and her family have returned home, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Next holiday, they are going to the South Pole.
