Some Advice on Travelling
Forget fashion(时尚)! Always wear your most comfortable clothes when going on long journeys(旅行).
Traveling on trains and buses can be boring, so take a good book to read.
If you're going somewhere cold, remember to put on your warm clothes!
If you are going somewhere sunny, remember to bring your sun-block(防晒霜) and sunglasses.
Always take a camera with you to capture those special moments.
Be careful with your things whenever you go to a busy place, like a train station. There are many thieves there!
Most countries have lower prices for students, so if you are a student, take your student card with you.
Bus tours often stop at expensive shops along the way, save your money by buying presents at local shops.
If you travel abroad(国外), remember to take your passport. Whatever you do, don't lose it!
Tourist maps have signs to show places of interest in an area. When tourists read these maps, it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places, too.
Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long trips. We use different numbers to stand for different roads. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No.621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.
Distribution (分布) maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, what languages people speak, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water. |
