Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunate...

Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunately, money can sometimes be a problem but not if you’re prepared. Here are my top tips for making the most of your travel experience, no matter how much you have in the bank!

Tip 1: Decide where you’ll go, based on your budget.

Knowing the average costs in a country can help you make the best decision. For example, countries like France, Italy, the UK and the USA can be pretty expensive to visit. On the contrary, Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and South America are cheaper and they still offer great cultural experiences and rich histories.

Tip 2: Choose relatively cheap accommodation.

Yes, everyone loves staying at a five-star hotel. But sadly, in a lot of places, this is just not realistic for those on a budget. In general, hostels (招待所) are a sure way to meet those travelers’ needs and this creates a great atmosphere. Camping is also a great choice for budget accommodation.

Tip 3: Don’t always rely on restaurants.

Eating meals in a restaurant can be very expensive, so you can easily save by cooking your own breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many cities have markets where you can buy fresh food and vegetables on the cheap.

Tip 4: Look for discounts on major attractions.

Obviously when you’re travelling you want to see everything the country has to offer, including the attractions which bring millions of people. But before paying a fee to see these, you can visit related websites to see if it’s possible to see them for less. Many tourist attractions have a student or youth discount and some attractions are free for everyone on certain days. By the way, do remember try to get there as early as possible, for they are possibly very crowded.

1.If you travel for a low budget, which place should you choose?

A.The USA.

B.France.

C.England.

D.Thailand.

2.What accommodation is generally a sure way for those on a budget?

A.Five-star hotel.

B.Hostel.

C.Camping.

D.Student dormitory.

3.To see the major attractions economically, what should you do?

A.Look for discounts and get there as early as possible.

B.Get to the attractions when there are less visitors.

C.Try to get the free tickets as possible as you can.

D.Visit the websites and try to get tickets online.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在横线上（请注意问题后的词数要求）

[1]Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success and so on. Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason.

[2]It‘s true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own,　 which may make them feel upset. Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following three simple steps.

[3]Firstly, you have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus on one thing at a time. If you‘re not sure about where you want to go, you‘d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.

[4]Secondly, create an action plan. This will be your map for getting from ”___________________” to ”where you want to go”. You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you want a better job, start with a skills assessment(评价) and maybe some extra training. Then you‘ll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new employer.

[5]Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there. Not to worry, though, books, biographies and such, can be of great help.

[6]The third and final step is to execute. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.

[7]Never give up the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do, do not lose heart until you have what you desire in your hands. Never think that you can’t turn your dream into a reality.
