Holidays matter. They are a chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect with the people we love; a time to relax, to be the real us, or indeed to be whoever we want to be. And once the sand has been washed from the toes, holidays can leave us with a suitcase of life-long happy memories.
Yet today in the UK at least 1.46 million families can’t afford a single day out together, let alone a holiday night away from home. Millions of British children this year won’t get to paddle (划船) in the sea, or build a sandcastle. Nothing to report when they return to school in September. No happy memories to help them improve their learning and behaviour.
That’s why the Family Holiday Association (FHA) exists. It is the only national charity that devotes itself to helping struggling families enjoy precious time together. Many are dealing with severe illness, poverty, disability, poor mental health and so on. They are referred to the Association. This work is often done by the professionals such as teachers, social workers, and doctors.
The Family Holiday Association was founded 43 years ago by Pat and Joan Laurance, who were unemployed with a young, sick child, living in a single room. A friend offered them a week in a flat on the Essex coast in return for cat-sitting. They fed the cat. They walked on the bench. They laughed and paddled.
And guess what? After a few days of enjoying fun they came home with new-found energy to face whatever life might throw at them. The Laurances determined that other struggling families should also gain the benefits of a simple holiday and the charity was born. Since then more than 120,000 parents and children have been able to enjoy a break happily, usually a few days by the British seaside.

8 . These are the best places in Ireland to celebrate St Patrick's Day.
Kilkenny
St Patrick's Day becomes St Patrick's Week in Kilkenny as the five—day festival Tradfest takes over the city centre. The festival focuses on traditional Irish music, while encouraging visitors to invent a few traditions of their own. There is plenty of live music, and you can join a number of workshops to learn Irish dancing and how to play traditional musical instruments.
Cork
Cork's parade(游行)starts at the South Mall and the route follows along St Patrick's Street, finishing at Merchant Quay. In the evening Barrack Street will be full of happy people while live music flows from every doorway. Visitors planning to make a night of it can stay nearby at the Lancaster Lodge.
Dublin
It is already known for great music but there's a lot more to Dublin than the excellent night life. The yearly Dublin parade is a must—see for any visitor lucky enough to be in the city on St Patrick's Day. In the evening the city goes green as Dublin's high buildings are bathed in green light. Many visitors are fond of putting on their green clothes to enjoy the sights.
Galway
If you’re sick of green beer, the coastal city of Galway is the place to go for a real St Patrick's Day—starting with the parade that starts at St Dominick Street, and goes through the centre of Galway to finish at Prospect Hill. Events include traditional street music, free live music and so on. But there's a family cycling event which is quite different from the other St Patrick's Day celebrations.

9 . If you like traveling, these less known places in New York City (NYC) are sure to create good memories that last a lifetime.
The High Line Park
The High Line Park has been only recently developed, so it is one of NYC’s most beautiful places and one of the most unique (独特的) places you could ever hope to find. It is nothing like your city park. Instead of being a park of trees, grass, and benches, it is built entirely on the top of an old above ground railway line.
The Cloisters
The Cloister is a branch (分支) of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is located in northern Manhattan’s Fort Tryon Park. It is filled with gardens and medieval (中世纪的) art and buildings. If you’re looking for a memorable experience, it is sure to be a good choice.
The Dream House
If you don’t like art museums or concert halls, you can choose the Dream House on Tribeca’s Church Street. It was created in 1993 by a married couple La Monte Young, a musician, and his wife Marian Zazeela. In the Dream House, every move that visitors make in the Dream House creates a different series of sounds. Meanwhile, fantastic pink lighting guides them through their journey.
Greenacre Park
If you have ever wished you could sit next to a surprising waterfall, you can go Greenacre Park. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan on 5lst Street, this “pocket park” has a 25-foot waterfall, quiet greenery and benches.

Last Sunday, I accompanied two of my foreign friends, Tom or Mary, around Chengdu so that they could get a feeling of the amazed city. We began by touring Kuan Zhai Alley, that is known for its traditional Chinese architecture. I know the area very good so I acted as their tour guide. For lunch,I tried some Chengdu fried sauce noodles.Tom thought that they were in particularly delicious. Soon before lunch, we went to the Research Base of Giant Panda to pay a visit to the pandas. Both Mary and Tom fall in love with the lovely pandas. We finished off the day by going shopping, and they bought some paper cuts as souvenir. It was fantastic day and I hope they will come to Chengdu again.
