There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
When you are travelling, you will know the world better. It is not just about you, your small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in how they do some things and how they live. Once you understand their ways you will understand them better.
Often you read stories about other cultures in books. Only when you visit their areas do you find that those stories are probably wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. You can’t just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. People all over the world should get involved (干预) and help wherever there are problems. People in need should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore(忽视) this if one does not travel and explore.
One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than yours. One can realize that sometimes your biggest problems are not that big at all.
On your journey, you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.
When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do.

2 . I have come to realize that life is a journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one because every day it makes us face new problems in new ways. When I was a little boy, I liked moving around. I always looked forward to the next trip or the next holiday. Maybe it is because I lived in a small and boring town. How I wanted the school holidays and how I could go to the coast! I went there with my friends and cousins, and we had so much fun. I also met some people and sometimes we would travel together exploring (探索) different towns and beach side place.
When I finished high school, I kept moving. In my first year out of school, I traveled with a friend. We visited seventeen countries in Europe, working different jobs as we went. What an adventure (冒险) we had! No one could keep us still! When one place or one job became boring, we went off. If we didn’t like the people we were staying with, we said goodbye. In this way I went to three different universities to study and lived in five different towns.
All this carried on for many years until I got married and had my own family. Now having a family is a different thing because you cannot choose who they are as you want. When you stay in the same place with the same persons, you start a whole new journey. That is the journey of facing your mistakes and trying make them right. Rather than walk away and meet someone new when you make a mistake, you have to say that you are sorry and try again. When the ones you love hurt you, you may feel angry or unhappy. But instead of making the decision to leave, you have to try to tell them how you feel and forgive (宽恕) them.
Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There again you are challenged to face life, doing things such as paying your bills and trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you feel like giving it up and traveling again.
So rather than move around on different trips, you are on a new journey. This journey of staying still is just as important as all the travels in the world.

3 . Do you like to eat out? Many people like to eat out in a western restaurant（西餐厅）. We should remember the rules in a western restaurant.
Western restaurants usually give you nice napkin（餐巾）to use during the meal. When you sit down, put this napkin on your legs for the first dish. An appetizer（开胃菜）is a small dish of food. After the appetizer, you may get soup and then salad（沙拉）.
After the salad comes the main（主要的）food. A main food will have some kinds of meat or fish with noodles, rice or potatoes and vegetables. The last food is usually dessert（甜点）, like coffee or tea.

We love bento (便当)!
It’s time for lunch! Today we have bento. “Bento” is a word for lunch in Japanese. It’s nice, healthy and eye-catching.
There are three colours in bento—red, yellow and green. The red food makes people feel hungry. The yellow food is usually healthy, and the green food is full of vitamins (富含维他命). Combine (结合) these colours well, and you can make a good bento.
Now the bento is important in Japanese’s life. When a class goes for a picnic, all the students will bring their bento. Their mothers make it for them. You see there is love in the bento, just as a mother says, “I remember my mother making bento for me. Now I make bento for my daughter every day. And she’ll make bento for her children too, with the same love.”

7 . On May 22, 2021, people in China and around the world felt sad. China’s “father of hybrid rice(杂交水稻之父)” Yuan Longping died at 91 on this day.
Yuan spent his life researching hybrid rice, which ended hunger for millions of people not only in China, but around the world. Hybrid rice is grown in 57 percent of China’s rice fields. It feeds an extra 80 million people a year. It is also grown in over 40 countries, including India, the US and Brazil, etc.
Yuan grew up in a time of war and famine(饥荒). How to get enough to eat was a serious problem in China at that time. After he finished high school, he decided to study agriculture(农业). After seeing many people die of hunger during a serious famine that lasted from 1959 to 1961, he decided to study hybrid rice.
In 1973, he succeeded in growing the world’s first high-yield(高产的) hybrid rice. It could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu, higher than the 300-kg yields from normal rice.
In 2019, he was awarded the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest state honour. In 2020, hybrid rice achieved 1,500 kilograms per mu in two growing seasons, setting a new world record. His team also started to research growing seawater rice in 2016. Their experiment succeeded in 2017.
Yuan once said he had two dreams. One was to enjoy the shade under rice crops that were taller than men. The other was that hybrid rice would be grown all over the world. I think his dreams might come true one day.

8 . When we buy a house, we all want to have nice neighbours, because most of us think that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. But what kind of neighbour is good? The answers are different from people to people. Here are my answers.
First, it is very important to respect each other. If our neighbour tries to know more about our life, how will we feel? He or she may also talk with others about our life. Do you want to live with him or her any more? The answer is “No”. We will feel very sad to have this kind of neighbour and move away quickly.
Next, a good neighbour is always ready to give us a hand when we need him or her. For example, if we are not at home, our good neighbour will watch our house for us.
Finally, a good neighbour should love the environment (环境). He or she never puts rubbish here and there. Good neighbours should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy.
I think we all should learn to be good neighbours, and I also hope everyone will have good neighbours and live a happy life.
1. Why do we want to have nice neighbours?2. If your neighbour tries to know more about your life, what will you do?
