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.

    Back in the twentieth century, robots seemed to have a big future, at least in the movies. Like the robots servants in the Star War movies. It looked as if one day robots would do all the boring or dangerous jobs while the humans sat around doing something more interesting. But people were also frightened that robots might become the bosses, not the servants.

    Has it happened? You're still unlikely to see a robot walking around your town but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Robots are used in car making, and in areas which are dangerous for humans, in bomb producing and deep-sea discovering, for example. We employ robots instead of doing the job ourselves. According to the report, there are 750,000 working robots in the world today.

    These working robots definitely look like machines but many scientists are now trying to make robots look more similar to humans. So what will robots be able to do by the year 2030? There are already plans to use robots in hospitals and old people's homes. Robot nurses will remind patients to take their medicine or tell a doctor if the patient needs attention. But many people are worried about the idea of robots looking after the old, the sick and the very young, separating them from important human contact. It may also create unemployment. It is really possible that robots will be used for many jobs in areas.

    But can we be sure that the next generation robots will always follow human orders? Or even destroy them? Or will we be able to create robots with emotions? Only the future will tell.

    Basketball players are usually very tall. Because they need to put the ball into the basket. Other sports players may be shorter than them.

    Short people often have better balance (平衡) than tall people, so they don't fall over very often. In some sports the players must have good balance, for example, table tennis, they don't need to have long legs to run fast! Some of the fast runners in the world are not very tall. Some people are tall and some are short. The tallest man in the world is 2.41 meters tall. Today young people in many countries grow taller than their parents. This is because they eat better than their parents. Good food can help children grow.
