My children have been traveling 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     7    thankful that my parents took me on family trips when I was young. I’ve learned that     8    outside world is more colorful than the little one I was living in.
