【推荐1】For many, choosing the perfect summer holiday destination is no easy job. Here’s why Portugal could prove the perfect summer destination to suit everyone.
Delicious local cuisine(烹饪/菜肴)
Portuguese cuisine is up-and-coming on the world scene, with an abundance of dishes in every shape and flavor. Behind every Portuguese dish, there’s the recipe(烹饪方法) of a mother, of an aunt or an uncle, of a grandmother or a grandfather. The local cuisine is rooted deep in the hearts of the Portuguese people, which is one of the reasons why Portuguese food is so special. Whether it’s at the table of a top restaurant or a traditional inn, the food offers up the unforgettable taste of the Iberian Peninsula. We recommend you try the popular grilled sardines(沙丁鱼) that can be found all over the city’s, traditionally served with a side of boiled potatoes and vegetables or salad.
Take the sun back with you
The summer weather is a huge benefit to Portugal, with over 2, 500 hours of gorgeous sunshine each year. Stepping outdoors to see anything but the beautiful glow of the sun is something you needn’t battle with the indecisiveness of the climate in certain other European destinations.
Holiday-goers can bring back the sun-kissed yellowish-brown color by enjoying the beautiful Marinha beach in the beach capital, Algarve. There’s certainly no lack of inspiration to enjoy a drink in the sun!
Take a dive into a diamond blue joy
The Portugal is famous for its deep blue, and the summer not only offers up the opportunity to enjoy a range of sea-based activity like surfing, but it also allows you to explore the sea world beneath the waves.
Surrounded by cliffs and close to a small fishing village and harbor, Arrifana beach is a popular destination among surfers. Why not head out to the Santa Cruz Ocean Spirit on the 19-28th July? This is an International Wave Sports Festival noted for its national and international sports events like surfing, ski-boarding, wave skiing, and bodysurfing.
The very best kinds of holidays are the ones that do not require a holiday to recover from it!

【推荐3】With courses on David Beckham and Harry Potter on offer at famous universities, it comes as no surprise that students are now able to learn the art of the perfect selfie (自拍).
The concept of taking selfies gained great popularity. It soon exploded on the Internet, and people started crazily to take images that had them as the primary item of focus. The trend became so popular that it even inspired a song, “SELHE” by the Chainsmokers, which racked up 267 million views on YouTube. In fact, Twitter declared 2014 as “the year of the selfie”.
Just like the art of photography can be studied and improved, City Literary Institute, a well-known college in London, felt it needed to educate people on the fine art of taking the perfect selfie and officially started to offer a first-ever course on that.
The four-session course will cost £132 (£106 for seniors), but the fee won’t even include a free selfie-stick, a tool that is rapidly gaining acceptance for serious selfie-takers. It is open to all enthusiastic and self-obsessed photographers.
As part of the new course, self-absorbed photographers will be taught “valuable life skills” to prepare themselves to face a world which could present a photo opportunity at any point. Apart from offering the much-needed but seldom-sought guidance on the best angles and lighting, the course promises to improve your critical understanding of the “selfie”. There will also be a brief exploration into the concepts of “identity,self-hood and memory” as well as the opportunity to “develop new ideas to you’re your photography more relevant to your aims.”
But the selfie enthusiasts must be prepared to share their photos, as organizers said a critique(评论）of students’ work would form an important role in the learning process.
