2 . Traveling is a unique experience and it helps us forget about our problems, frustrations, and fears at home. During our journey, we explore new places, cultures, cuisines, traditions, and ways of living.     1     This is why traveling is such an invaluable life experience.

If you remain in your hometown or country for your whole life, it’s hard to fully understand the world.     2     Being exposed to other cultures allows us to become open-minded and understand that even though we appear to be different, we also have many similarities.

    3     By traveling, we get to experience how people around the world live their lives. We learn where their priorities (最重要的事) lie and how they view family, work, education, the environment, etc. This may question and influence our own ideas and beliefs on how to live life.

Traveling makes meeting new people very easy. We are constantly surrounded by other people, whether we find ourselves in a hotel bar or on an excursion (远足).     4     We also often have similar interests and values, making the conversation flow more easily.

Traveling often involves stepping out of our comfort zone and experiencing new things. These new experiences help us grow on a personal level.     5     By dealing with these situations, you will discover your own strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc. This self-awareness is important to your personal growth and discovering who you really are.

7 . Wellness tourism refers to trips that are organized on the principle of wellness.    1    The purpose of it is to allow tourists to enjoy healthy food, spa treatments, exercise, and other healthy experiences. You also get to learn how to take better care of yourself, psychologically and physically.

On a wellness trip you usually visit locations where food and activities support your best health. This is the very foundation on which a wellness trip is built.

When you take a wellness trip, you get a chance to taste many healthy cuisine styles.    2    Nutrition experts will educate you on how to nourish（滋养）your soul and body through a balanced diet. Most of the food will come straight from the farms, ensuring that you only eat fresh healthy food.

    3    You can enjoy water rafting, zip-lining, scuba diving, surfing, and other popular activities. After these adventurous experiences you can have deep relaxation. There are activities that are suitable for the elderly as well, like biking.

However, you can't expect wellness tourism to be a perfectly enjoyable experience.    4    Thus, you have to be able to adjust, act, and respond, so that you keep moving forward. You need to be realistic. A day in the spa will not immediately bring wellness into your life.    5    

Your general attitude toward life has to be positive. This should also go hand in hand with being open-minded and tolerant.

8 . A view of endless vineyards (葡萄园) and hills dotted with homes that have been around for centuries is just one example of what you can see in Italy.

    1    , from the high fashion of Milan in the north and the galleries in Florence to ancient ruins in Rome and the scenic islands of Corsica and Sardinia.

Of course, the first thing one might think about is the food! And in Italian culture, food is very important.

Italy is often associated with pasta, but do you know there are literally hundreds of different kinds? Also, the names of the pasta can differ from region to region.     2    .

While food is definitely a defining part of Italian culture, the true heart of the culture is the family unit and the sense of pride in one’s community. For Italians, food and family go hand-in-hand.     3    . Meals often last for hours. This is the time for people to gather with friends and family to not only enjoy food, but talk and spend time together.

Another important part of the daily life in Italy is the siesta (午休) or riposo (to rest)— a time when businesses close from 1 pm to 4 pm.     4    .

In the evening, many Italians like to take a walk around the town, a routine known as a passegiata. People will take leisurely walks, greet one another and maybe catch up (朋友小聚) over a coffee.

    5     when temperatures start to warm up. Every August, many businesses shut down for the month so that families can enjoy the seaside and escape the heat.

Whether it is a good conversation, a glass of wine or just a splendid view of the countryside, Italy is a place where people take time to enjoy the small things in life.

9 . Vacations are meant to be enjoyed and to explore new stuff and hobbies. Summer vacation offers everyone a lot of time and comfort to develop new skills.     1     It was a total of fifteen days trip.

We reached Srinagar Airport at 12 noon, after one hour, we finally reached our hotels. We were greeted with Kahawa（a famous Kashmir's (克什米尔) coffee）, Tired as we were, we got fresh and had lunch.     2    

All the shops were decorated with wooden antiques and reproductions of famous paintings. We returned at 9 pm after having dinner in a famous restaurant. We went to attend the bonfire event which was organized by the hotel staff.     3    

    4     It was well-known for the snowcapped mountains. We played with snowballs and enjoyed ourselves a lot. It is the beautiful scenic view in Kashmir and is still refreshed in my eyes.

We then visited the botanical garden, apple farms, Nishat Gardens, and historical temples and castles, which were telling the Kashmir's beauty. We went to many other scenic spots and spent five days in Shikara in Dal Lake.     5    

I want to revisit Kashmir. After returning from the Kashmir trip, I got engaged in my summer vacation homework and shared my travel experience with my friends. Also, I presented my friends with small gifts I have purchased for them from Kashmir.

10 . Many holidays are centered around surrounding yourself with family members and gathering in large groups, so it can be tough to enjoy your holidays all by yourself. However, spending a holiday alone can actually be more enjoyable and you might even find that you like it more.     1    

Limit your technology use. If you’re spending your holidays alone, it might be attractive to stay completely connected to your social media and email.     2     So, try turning off your phone and computer to focus on yourself throughout the day instead of others.

    3     Holidays offer you a good chance to award yourself for your hard work. Whether you go out to your favorite restaurant or cook at home, allow yourself to enjoy a big meal. After that, plan an outing to the movies, a museum or a park to relax. Also, giving yourself a gift is a great idea.

Volunteer somewhere. If you live near a shelter, reach out to see if they need help during the holidays. If you already volunteer somewhere, ask if you can come in on your day off.     4     If you volunteer somewhere and you enjoy the experience, consider volunteering more often.

Dive into a creative project.     5     You can draw, paint or make paper cuttings—anything that makes you feel accomplished. If you need to get holiday gifts for people, you could use your crafting skills to make some for them.
