Travel broadens the mind 旅行拓宽视野They say that travel broadens the mind 旅行拓宽视野. Well, if that's true then I guess I must be pretty broad-mindAlthough there was a long period of time when I wasn't travelling, recently I've been travelling quite a bit 经常的 for m the expression “You wait for ages for a bus, and then three come along at once!” Maybe you've experienced that! It's adapted to suit all kinds of situations. And, to some extent, it seems as if I've been waiting ages for a 'duty trip 公差' (th trip – although more often than not it's as much of a pleasure as it is a duty!) and then three come along at once!Not long ago, at the end of March, I was in Hong Kong for a few days. One of our online partners, Kealearning, organ schools in Hong Kong and Macau to produce a short radio play in English. There were over 200 entries.

The judges had several categories to score them on – from teamwork to script, from creativity创造力quite a demanding – but thoroughly enjoyable – job. The prize-giving ceremony at the end of a long judging session w performance! 精彩表演 It was all worth it though to see the delight of the students and the pride of the parents and tea a radio play is also a great way to practice and improve your English. Maybe you fancy giving it a go? 想不想试一试!The Hong Kong trip coincided with the Hong Kong Rugby 7s. If you're not a rugby fan – and I have to admit I'm not –you. It was to me! Basically, it's a knock-out competition 继往的连锁比赛 with 7 players a side. This yearEngland go Zealand (check!). I didn't get a chance to see any of the games – tickets were sold out well in advance 早早地– but I the fans afterwards. That was quite amazing. It was kind of surreal超越现实的/奇异的to be in Hong Kong and to hear e many different accents – there were fans from Australia, Wales, South Africa, New Zealand, ... all having a great time English, do you think you could tell which was Australian, Welsh, South African or from New Zealand?!And where am I now?

Although on these two trips I've been working in the cities, on previous trips to China I, of course, visited the G another colleague, I climbed quite a way! And with several colleagues, I have visited the Pyramids and greeted the Sp“But that's only two trips!”, I hear you say! Ah well – yes.

Bryson eventually became chief sub editor of the business section of THE TIMES（note: Time时代周刊）, and then deputy national news editor of the business section of The Independent(独立报).

He went there on amidnight ferry from Calais.2.Since he arrived there in the midnight, the town was sleeping, low-lit and foggy. Allthe hotels and guesthouses appeared to be shut up for the night. Even the rail station was dark and shuttered.3.He could not find accommodation for the night. Most of the hotels and guesthousesappeared to be shut up. The only guesthouse he found still with lights on refused to take him and recommended the Churchill while the latter appeared too expensive for him.4.He spent the night on a bench in the street, a place open to the elements butroofed(a structure with a roof although it was exposed to natural forces). He did not sleep well. He woke up twice and had a nightmare.5.He had his breakfast in a café. He enjoyed it very much.6.The tone of the article is humorous with slight satire. For example, the reality thathe could not find accommodation must be very annoying to him, but he only refers it as “the only mildly dismaying thing”. Before he approached the guesthouse, he imagined a cheery conversation but was rudely refused at the first place, no chance to offer his humble apology at all. When he had nowhere to go and finally decided to sleep on the street, he referred it as “a shelter open to the elements but roofed”and “decided that this was as good as I was going to get”.Step Four: Text Analysis and Language Points1.

Does travel broaden the mind
Does travel broaden the mind ?One often hears it said that travel broaden the mind: if you stay you own country the whole time,your idea remind narrow, whereas if you travel, you see new customs,eat new foods, do new things,and come back home with a broaden mind.But does this always-or even usually-happen? An acquaintance of mine who lives in England and had never been outsied it until last summer decide to go over to France for a trip. When he returned ,I asked him how he liked it. “Terrible,” was his answer. “I couldn’t get a nice cup of tea anywhere. Thank godness I’m back.” I asked him whether he hadn’t had any good foood while he was there. “ Oh, the dinner was all right,” he said. “I found a litter place where they made quite good fish and chips.Not as goods as ours ,mind you , but they were passable. But the breakfasts were terrible：no bacon or kippers or haddocks. I had fried eggs and chips , but it was quite a business getting them to make them. They except me to eat rolls. And when I asked for marmalade, they bought strawberry jam. And do you know,they insisted that it was marmalade? The trouble is they don’t know English.”I thought it useless to explain that we borrowed the word “marmalade”from French,and that it means,in the language, any kind of jam. So I said , “But didn’t you eat any of the famous Frenchfood ?”“ What me ?”he said . “Of course not ! Give me good old English every time. None of these fancy bits for m e ! ” Obviously travel had not broaden his mind. He had gone French and determined to lived there exactly as if he was in England. And had judged it entirely from his own English viewpoint.This does not , of course , happen only Englishman in French: all nationalities , in all foreign countries, can be found judging what they see ,hear,taste,and smell according to their own habit and customs. People who are better educated and who have read a lot about foreign countries tend to be more adaptable and tolerant, but this is because their mind have alreadly been broaden BEFORE they start travelling. In fact, it is easier to be broad-minde about foreign habit and customs if one’s acquaintance with those things is limited to books and films. The American smiles tolerantly over the absence of central heating in most English homes when he is himself comfortablely seated in his armed-chair in his centrally heated house in Chicago; the Englishman reads about the sanitary arrangments in a certain tropical country , and the ingabitants of the latter read about London fogs ,and each side manafes to be detached and broad-minded. But actual physical contact with things one is unaccusted to is much more diffcult to bear philosophically. Physical differences are not so diffcult to adapt oneself to asreligious, ethical and irrational ones . Indonesians are trained from earliest childhood to give and recive things with right hand only: the left hand is considered unclean. When a foreigner offer a indonesian something with his left hand ,or hold out his left hand to take something he is being offered, the Indonesian may explain this action rationally as arising from a difference in custom, but the deep prejudice aginst the use of the left hand which was instilled in him during his most impressionable years will not be so easily satisfited. There are some travellers who adapt themselves so successfully to foreign customs and habits that they incur the severe criticisms of their less adaptable fellow-countrymen. If they are Asians, they are acused of having become “Westernized”, and if they are Europeans , people say they have “gone native”.Which is better, rigid ,self-satisfied prejudice against things foreign(the idea “ Thanks God I am not as others are!”)，or less of your certainty that your own’s country’s habits and customs are the only right ones ,and hence the inability to be one of a herd any longer?Perhaps the ideal would be if travel could succeed in making people tolerant of the habits and customs of other without abandoning their own, the criterion for judging a foreigner could be Does he try to be polite and cinsider to other ?instead of is he like me?。

Travel Broadens the Mind
In today's society, travel has become a very popular thing. More and more people choose to travel during holidays to relax themselves and enjoy life. I think travelling to broaden my horizons. Travel one of the most important advantage is that it can let me learn textbooks of knowledge can not go to school.
Can I say something I experience things as an example. Since elementary school summer, I with my mom and dad went to Beijing. During this trip to Beijing in the process, the most impresses me is Forbidden City. The Palace Museum is the Ming and Qing dynasty palace, the unequalled ancient architecture masterpiece, the world's largest, most complete extant wooden structure of the ancient building group. I in the palace of visiting know a lot about its build things, many past architectural style and tradition. I seem to become that China, in the palace magnificent huge buildings in realistically the feeling that the environment and life. On this trip I learned before totally unaware of knowledge, broadened my horizons.
I think we should not only focus on their own lives among coterie. People, especially the young, should look to other
countries and regions travel. To have not been traveling can make our life richer so we thought more open.。
