There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.

When travelling, I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although we will meet different people from all over the world, we will realize that people are quite s    1     in dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy the different culture, a    2     we will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once we understand their ways, it will n    3     be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other culture in books, but we can find there are quite a few d    4     things from those in the books when we visit their areas.

We often think our problems are very serious, b    5     we can realize that our biggest problems are not that big after travelling all over the world. On our journey we can a    6     meet lots of new friends. All our special experiences could make an interesting b    7    , which would be written with our special memories.

Traveling around is a w    8     experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.

Indoor skiing in the desert has become a symbol of Dubai’s status as a w    1    , modern metropolis. Originally a small fishing village, Dubai’s fortunes changed forever with the d    2     of oil in the 1960s. Since then, it has become the largest city in the United Arab Emirntes. But the rapid g    3     has come at a price. To power its cars and air-conditioning, the city has produced large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from f    4     fuels. By 2006, Dubai had one of the I     5     ecological footprints in the world. But now it is making some big c    6    . To reduce its dependence on cars and lower its emissions, Dubai has invested in s    7     energy, green buildings, and a comprehensive public transportation system-Brightly Shining driverless trains now run b    8     the main roads. In addition, all new buildings must meet strict energy r    9    . Smart lighting and cooling systems must switch o    10     when no people are present in a room. New buildings must also use solar panels for water heating.
