1 . There are a lot of strategies for visiting a museum and avoiding “museum tiredness”. Consider what is mentioned below in planning.     1    

Regardless of a museum’s size, you’ll get tired quickly if you try to look closely at every object displayed. Likewise, most museums provide lots of information about the objects on view. So don’t try to read everything.     2     “Tombstone” labels are very brief and provide facts about the artist, their country etc. There may be a number, which the museum uses to register the object, usually according to when it became a part of the collection, and a credit line that indicates the donor. Object labels are placed next to many objects.     3     The approach used to write museum labels has been much debated among art historians and museum professionals.

    4     Ask for a map, or have museum staff suggest highlights in the collection or special exhibitions. Many museums have special tours, audioguides, or downloadable apps that point you to these objects.

Some people recommend setting a specific amount of time for your visit (1 or 2 hours).     5     In addition to benches in the galleries, most museums have a cafe, shop, sculpture courtyard or gardens where you can hang out and relax for a bit.

2 . Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure. It can also help you open your mind to new ideas and perspectives.     1     They provide insight, tips, and inspiration for people looking to explore the world around them. From detailed guides to personal stories, these books offer readers a way to experience the world without ever leaving their homes.

One book that perfectly captures (描述) the spirit of travel is The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande.     2     Through her moving writing style, Grande paints a vivid picture of the struggles and joys of crossing a physical and cultural border.

Her book has a great impact on readers.     3     By sharing her own experiences, Grande offers hope and inspiration to anyone looking to take the leap and explore the world around them.

One of the greatest benefits of traveling to places inspired by books for students is the opportunity to explore and learn about many different cultures. Immersing (使沉浸) yourself in unfamiliar surroundings can help open your eyes to different ways of life.     4    

Being able to communicate effectively with those from different backgrounds is essential for any student, especially in today’s international society.     5     It can further improve conversation and fluency (流畅).

Lastly, by traveling to places inspired by books, students will gain a deeper understanding of the works that inspired them to take the journey in the first place.

3 . Great! You finally have a long holiday during which you can get to that corner of the world you’ve always wanted to visit. However, to make sure your trip goes as smoothly as you want, you need to make some preparations. Here are the steps you need to take to prepare for your trip.

Choose a destination

You can’t plan a trip when you’re not sure where you want to go.     1     Choose a place you want to visit and plan your vacation around it.

Budget

    2     Research the cost of your destination including transportation, hotels, food and drinks. You can save money by traveling during the off-season. Prepare a little more money than you might need, just in case.

    3    

Depending on your vacation destination, you might need some important documents such as a valid passport and visa. Make sure your passport hasn’t expired and if you don’t have one, apply in time, as visa applications are often a complex process that can take weeks to be approved.

Consider travel insurance

A car accident lawyer in Vancouver would advise you to take out travel insurance because it’s more than just medical protection.     4     You can also buy overseas medical insurance because it can help you prepare for the worst.

Book your flight and accommodation

Booking the flight and accommodation should be one of the first things you should do. Book your flight months in advance because it’s more economical and you can save a lot of money.     5    

4 . For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.

As a vegetarian (素食主义者), finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad.     1     The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.

The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK.     2     I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.

    3     Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section.     4     That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.

Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.     5    

6 . Jessica Nabongo longs to set foot in every nation. She started traveling at age four, along with her parents on family trips from Detroit, Michigan and completed her mission when she landed in the Seychelles, having visited 195 countries.     1     Along the way, she became a writer, photographer, and passionate advocate for inclusive and ethical(道德的) tourism .

Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better.

What inspires your adventures?

    2     I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States.

Did you ever experience any obstacles?

I don’t believe in failure.     3     Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes－it comes from socialization. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn.

    4    

My mother has always said “ humble(使谦逊) yourself.” I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego（自我）, or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal.

What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably(可持续地)?

Single－use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that.     5     If you’ re in a restaurant and you don’ t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s about being a deliberate(慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’ m in and on the planet in general.

7 . Traveling means going from one place to another or from one country to another. It is immensely beneficial in many ways. From cutting down on stress to lowering your chances of developing heart disease, the health benefits of traveling are huge. Furthermore, traveling fosters understanding between nations. It is an important factor in establishing world peace.     1    

Traveling and education both are interrelated. During traveling, a traveler visits different places and comes into contact with people in different regions. Thus it provides the traveler with first-hand knowledge. The knowledge we acquire in schools and colleges is mainly bookish in nature.     2     Traveling can remove this gap because true education takes place outside the classroom. Bookish knowledge can be made perfect and meaningful only by traveling.

    3     The benefit of traveling to a new place is that it forces you to face the unknown and think differently. We have read the majesty of the Himalayas, the vastness of the ocean and the beauty of the Taj Mahal from books.     4     It impresses our mind with the vastness, and wonder of nature’s creation. Traveling helps the traveler to know how the wonderful earth is full of natural beauty.

In general, it can be said that traveling essentially has a great educative value. Traveling is adventurous, exciting, and a great stress buster. So, educational institutions of our country should give greater facilities to their students to undertake tours to various places of importance at home and abroad.     5     Seeing the world with your own very eyes will give you a better learning experience than any book can provide.

8 . Fueling tourism recovery with micro tours

The concept of “micro-tourism” or “micro-vacation”, which comes from the tourism industry, may not be new and seems to have become a trend in recent years.

    1     It is characterized by short-distance travel, usually on weekends or during short holidays. In contrast to a proper vacation, which usually involves detailed planning, much longer travel time, higher expenses, and extends over a week or more, micro-vacation needs little planning and time, and is less expensive.     2     It’s usually a family seeking quality time and comfort together, and the choice of location more flexible.

Micro-tourism began catching on seven or eight years ago. It has become increasingly popular since the COVID-19 outbreak.     3     Therefore, more and more people, especially those living in large and medium-sized cities, go on short vacations for relaxation.

Local tours, short-distance leisure tours have been fueling the tourism industry’s recovery. Adapting to these new trends, destinations around cities, parks and campsites are offering new, specialized facilities and services. Homestays, parental hotels and handicraft workshops are also becoming popular.     4     The internet is strikingly full of innovative short videos on camping. And camping equipment is selling well, and it’s hard to get camping sites in country parks.

    5     Those include advice on how to improve industry standards, safety management, environmental protection, emergency rescue services and anti-pandemic measures. If these issues are properly addressed, micro-tourism will drive the recovery of the tourism.

9 . Even though I was no skater, I’d always considered Rochester to be a perfect location for an outdoor skatepark. Despite being a place missing some of the pleasures awarded to big-name cities like New York or Chicago, Rochester developed a do-it-yourself attitude in the pursuit of having fun.     1    

When I noticed a skate park was being built under the highway on-ramp (匝道)downtown, I was excited ——not because a skate park is a perfect setting to facilitate the DIY charm of Rochester, acting as a sort of melting pot for people of all walks of life to bond together.     2     I wanted to not only take a closer look at its physical design but also the sort of crowds it attracted.

    3    Totally clear of any litter, the half pipes, grind rails, and bowls were designed with a consistent blue and yellow color scheme. There were even multicolored rows of tile (瓦片)that lined the top edge of the park’s bowls.

After taking some beautiful photos of the park, I began chatting with Vazquez, manager of the skatepark.     4     “Look at all these people. So many people come here to skate. No matter the color of your skin, or your beliefs, everyone is brought together here by skating”, he said .     5     While I was walking back over the pavement, the ground under my feet seemed to have a pulse: life’s heartbeat could be found at this park.

10 . Packing Tips for Travel

Packing smart and light is quite necessary for a comfortable trip. Light baggage ensures trouble-free travel. Here are some essential packing tips to help you enjoy your travel.

Regular use/handy items. Regular use or your personal handy items need to be taken instantly or separated from the luggage whenever required.     1    . And then start packing them after clothes and valuables. Include some useful items such as ear drops, eye masks, medicines, a small towel, and scissors (less than 6 inches).

Vacuum(真空) and space bags. It is not surprising that the entire packaging may be done just with vacuum bags, space bags, and plastic bags. Being airtight and waterproof, these bags provide great room for storage. They can fit in stuff three to four times greater than conventional bags.     2    .

Family packing tips. Often those travelling with kids tend to believe that they might require a whole range of products for their kids.     3    . Try to carry only the essential items and leave the rest that can be bought outside. You can download apps for kids that do not require the Internet connection. This will keep them engaged on the route without carrying a range of toys.

    4    . When it comes to clothing for women, having a choice of common colors is great, as they can mix and match outfits. A set of lightweight tops and jeans is ideal for both indoor and outdoor. Bring a set of waist coats, long sleeves, and pants for formal wears.     5    , as they tend to be heavy. Instead, try fashionable sneakers, which give good comfort to your feet.

Following these tips will help you in managing your travel in an efficient way. Enjoy your trip! Bon Voyage!
