2 . Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. There are lots of companies planning to send people into space in the next few years. What can space tourists do while in space? Here are some examples:

See the Earth from Space

Seeing the Earth from a distance has always been a dream. It gives most people a sense of both achievement and wonder (which is also why people climb the highest mountain and dive the deepest sea on the earth).

Stay in a Space Hotel

Hotels are directly connected with tourism. If there’s space tourism, there might also be space hotels up soon. Orion Span has been planning to send tourists to stay in their “space hotel”, which would hold up to 6 people at a time.

Eat in Space

Eating is not easy in space. Even drinking water is difficult. Oh, a quick fact! You aren’t allowed to burp in space! Bubbles will come out of your mouth and it might be dangerous to leave them around.

Visit the Moon and Other Planets

Space tourism companies are racing to launch the first tourist flight to the moon. Although there might be a long way to go before common people can step on the moon, we will probably see it in our lifetime. And who knows, maybe we’ll even see hotels on the moon.

With the industry rapidly developing, space tourism is around the corner, and it might come much faster than we think. Will you be the next person to travel to space?

3 . Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.

Now we are staying in Bangkok. It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry (珠宝) and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace (项链). My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.

Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy (辛辣的). You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok. However, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

Along Qianmen Street, there are many hutongs. And Dashilanr is one of the must-visit hutongs. The name “Dashilanr” means “big fence (围栏)”.

8 . Of course you do not want to spend your vacation sick in bed. So what can you do to stay in good health when travelling? There are some things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep and eat well.

A vacation should be a time for relaxing but very often it is not. Think about what you do when you are travelling. There are so many places to visit: museums, shops, parks...You may spend most days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Do not ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body gets sick easily. So sit down for a few hours in a nice and quiet place.

Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy you need to get enough sleep. Your hotel room may be noisy or the bed may be not comfortable. You may not get enough sleep for other reasons. You may want to stay out late at night. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra (额外的) hour can make a big difference.

At last, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of food. Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese.

So, remember this: if you want to enjoy your vacation, take good care of yourself. Give your body some rest. Get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.
