| One of the main decisions you must make when traveling is deciding where to stay. A good place to stay can often make a holiday. Whether you are looking for a classy hotel or a night under the stars, we can guide you through your different options. Bed and Breakfast An English invention, bed and breakfasts offer exactly what they suggest, a bed for the night and breakfast in the morning. People who hate the anonymity of hotels but want more luxury than a hostel often choose to stay at bed and breakfasts. "B&B"s", usually someone"s private home, are often found in the countryside. Hostels For those traveling on a tight budget, hostels are the best accommodation option. Informal places usually with a friendly youthful vibe(氛围), they offer dormitory beds for rent. Bathrooms are usually down the hall. Remember to check reviews by previous guests online before you book your hostel. Couch Surfing An unusual but interesting option, couch surfing is a growing trend among young internationals. The idea is that you become a member of the online couch-surfing community (www. couchsurfing. com) and then when you travel, look up other members in that country and ask to stay on their couch (沙发). Most hosts will suggest sightseeing trips and take you out in the evening, making it a great way to see things that aren"t in your guidebook. And remember, it may be free but don"t forget to offer to buy your host a drink or dinner. Camping Sleeping under the stars! For budget travelers staying at camping grounds is the cheapest way to travel. The drawback is that you have to carry a tent with you. Camping grounds can be found across Europe, America and Australia. However, if you intend on camping in busy cities, check first where the nearest campsite is. More often than not, they are on the outskirts, which can mean lengthy bus rides into town when you want to eat or see the sights. | |||

| We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us—in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our 1 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 2 everything to their kindness and love. When we 3 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 4 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 5 our own love and gratitude to them. 6 , elders have also been through all the years you are 7 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 8 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 9 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 10 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 11 . With changing times and 12 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 13 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 14 their voices. If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 15 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 16 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 17 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 18 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 19 disadvantage. When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 20 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness. | |||

| Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for. I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn"t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going. If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results. Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked. | |||
