Travel
【正确答案】：
Travel
Travel has become a world-wide activity. Never before have so many people travelled to so many different parts of the world. With new modes of fast and comfortable transport, more and more people are tempted to leave their homes to see more of the world.
People travel for many reasons but perhaps the most common is travelling for pleasure. It provides an effective way to get your mind off your work. When you return, you are fresh and energetic and ready to work harder.
Travel is also one of the best means for learning. One may have heard or read about something, but one can never get an accurate picture of it until one sees it. I believe that the knowledge obtained from actual experience is more valuable than that obtained from books.
