How to deal with homesickness
When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend"s house, you know you"re there
for a fun time. But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad. They start to miss their
own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home. It"s called being homesick (想家的). Do you
want to feel less homesick? Here"s how:
Spend more time in doing fun things. The more fun things you do, the less time you"ll have to feel
homesick. So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.
You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a night visit, maybe you can call once that night,
and again in the morning. In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You
can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch (保持联系) with family and friends. If you"re
going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter! When you get in touch with someone, make
sure to tell them the fun things you"re doing!
Sometimes, just tell someone that you"re feeling homesick. This will help you feel better, Maybe you
can tell a friend that you feel homesick. And the two of you can do something fun, such as telling jocks.
If you"re at camp, a camp counselor (顾问) would be a good person to talk to. He or she might have
some ideas to help you feel better. |

to take back home with you and you don"t want it to get stolen. Here are some ideas on how to keep
your valuables (贵重物品) safe while traveling
Plan ahead of time

you must have, not just ones that you would like to have.

wallet around your neck or in a money belt. This way, your valuables are hidden and right next to you,
where you know where they are at all times. Wear clothing that can hide the money belt.
Carry larger valuables in your carry-on bag.
If you can"t fit it in your money wallet like some large valuables, you"d better put them somewhere
that you will keep touch with them. Your can put them on the plane, so you don"t have to worry about
the airline losing your bag or someone stealing it from the belt after the flight before you get to it.
Choose a hotel that has the front desk for valuables.
This way, you don"t have to worry about housekeeping getting hold of your valuables, or someone
stealing your valuables if your room is broken into. If you give the valuables to the front desk to keep
for you, choose a time when others are not looking. | | 1. The passage is mainly about _______. | A. what to do while travelling
