There are many airlines offering cheap flights to many different places. The first time I travelled abroad it was very very expensive, but now I can have the same holiday for about half price. Ihave been to many countries around the world, and I will continue to travel to many more. I think people have to travel around the world to learn more about the world and its people.6. Do you think we should protect ancient building s?Yes I think it is very important to protect ancient buildings. History is very important and one way we can protect our history is to protect ancient buildings. I am planning to visit as many ancient buildings as I can while I am in China. So far, I have visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City and a few others. While I was visiting these places I learned a lot about Chinese history. I need to visit some more ancient buildings soon.7. What do you think individuals should do to protect natural beauty?Every individual must remember that we can all do something to protect natural beauty. For example, we must make sure to throw our garbage in the garbage can and not on the street. We must try to use things with less packaging, so that we have less garbage. Also, the government can play an important role in protecting natural beauty. They have to make sure that the factories do not put bad chemicals in the lakes and rivers. Also, they need to make sure that the factories do not pollute the air.8. What kind of place is likely to become tourist attraction?Usually a place that is beautiful or interesting will become a tourist attraction. For example an ancient building is very interesting, and we can learn a lot by visiting it. This is why many ancient buildings are tourist attractions. People go there to learn something. Also, people like to visit beautiful places.They can go there and spend time with their family or friends, and feel very relaxed.9. Which kind of city do you prefer to visit, modern or historic?I prefer to visit historic cities. If I travel to a very modern city, I feel that there are not as many things I can learn from the city. When I travel to a historic city, I can see many beautiful things and learn a lot about histo ry. Right now I am planning to visit Xi’an next weekend, so that I can see the Terracotta Warriors. I have already visited many historic tourist attractions in Beijing, and I am excited to see something outside of Beijing. In the summer I am going to visit more historic cities around China.10. What’s your plan for traveling next time?Next time I travel I would like to visit India or Africa. I have never been anywhere like India or Africa.2 years ago my friends were travelling in Africa and India, and they told many great stories about their travels. They travelled for 2 months and were able to visit many different places in India and Africa. They learned a lot about these places, and met many great people. When I travel to India and Africa I thinkI will learn a lot.11. Have you ever been to some places out of Beijing?Yes I have been to many places outside of Beijing. 9 years ago, I spent 3 months travelling around Europe. I visited 12 cities in 6 different countries. While I was travelling, I met many amazing people and saw many beautiful and interesting things. My favorite city was Berlin, Germany. It is a beautiful and historic city.12. How many places have you ever been? What kind of place impresses you most?I have been to a lot of different places in North America and Europe, and a few places in China. The kind of place that impresses me most is a place that is both beautiful and interesting. I like a city with a lot of parks filled with beautiful flowers and trees, but also some ancient buildings to visit. I also like it very much if a city is near the ocean. It is very nice to be able to sit beside the ocean for the day and relax. I like to visit a place that has many different things to do.13. If you can choose, do you prefer to go traveling abroad or in your own country?I think it is important to travel in your own country as well as abroad, especially if you live in a very big country like Canada or China. In China, the land and the people are very different from place to place and I think it is very important to learn about how other people in your country live. You should always learn about your own country’s history and travelling around your own country can help you to learn. But, travelling abroad helps you learn about people in different cultures, and I think this is very important too. I think people must travel as often as possible, to as many places as possible.14. Was there anything that made you unhappy on your journey to …?There were a few things that made me unhappy on my trip to Hong Kong. One was that when we checked into our hotel, they gave us a smoking room. We had specially asked for a room with no smoking because my mom is allergic. They were able to fix the mistake very quickly, so it didn't cause a big problem. The other thing that made me unhappy was that the weather was rainy for 3 out of 5 days we spent in Hong Kong. This made it harder to go sightseeing, and take pictures of all of the beautiful scenery. Other than that I thought my trip to Hong Kong was great.。
