Carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The earth also should not be too hard. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the earth and turn it over.

Going abroad will cost more but be a more exciting experience. Don’t go abroad if this is the first trip you help to organize. Going to a different place in your own country can also be fun and will be cheaper.
Work out how many people you will be able to plan the trip for. Find out how much interest there is for people to go on the trip, and then invite people who you think will enjoy themselves and who you get on well with.
Everyone will have their own idea of what they want the trip to be like, so you should have a meeting. Keep a notebook and write down things to do. If you share ideas with others, you will take a happier trip.
After you decide on your hotel, you’ll know the dates of your stay and be able to book transport, such as bus, train and airplane. Booking transport earlier can save some money, so you’d better book as soon as possible.

Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) for Best Novelette (中篇小说) in October 2023. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo Award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016.
Hai Ya got the idea of his work from a painting called Qianli Jiangshan Tu. Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty painted the work at the age of 18.
Modeled on (以……为原型) the life of Wang, Hai Ya created the character of an excellent painter Zhao Ximeng. Zhao painted for an emperor more than 1,000 years ago. One day, the painter’s mind left his physical body and went into a special space. There a modern police officer was working on a case having to do with a very old painting.
The Space-Time Painter tells about the political upheavals (政治动乱) of the time when the painting was created. We can find traditional Chinese culture, history, speculative elements (推理元素) and science fiction in Hai Ya’s work.
