The Wilkinsons have lived aboard their boat (在船上) for fifteen years. Much of that time they have spent sailing around the world. Heres what they had to say about living aboard.Mary Wilkinson People sometimes ask me if I think its fair to the children. How could it not be fair? They live in a less polluted, safer environment. They get to travel and become comfortable with and able to deal with people of all ages and from different cultures. This makes them confident and relaxed. Children who live aboard are often better educated because instead of being taught in overcrowded classrooms they learn with their brothers and sisters and with a parent as the teacher.Sunny Wilkinson People around me usually dont believe we live on a boat until I show them a photo. It seems so different to the lifestyles they know. Of course living aboard has its advantages and disadvantages. Its great living so close to nature and getting to know other cultures and languages. Its also very exciting to sail off somewhere and know that you will see new places and meet new people, but sometimes I have made new friends somewhere and then they move on or we do. Saying goodbye to people is always hard.Jeffrey Wilkinson Ive already decided that Im going to get a boat when Im older and go traveling with my friends. I have had so many experiences and seen so many amazing things: dolphins, whales, fantastic tropical fish and a lot of beautiful places on land as well. My only worry is how I will get on with the kids in a normal classroom and with the school system in general. I want to go to university and I dont know how well Ill do in the final exams. Mum and Dad both say Im ahead of other kids of my age, but Im not sure. 71.The Wilkinsons have spent much time sailing around the world. 72.Mary doesnt think that its fair to the children to live aboard. 73.According to Mary, living aboard has several disadvantages. 74.Sunny doesnt like to live close to nature or to know other cultures. 75.Sunny thinks its exciting to see new places and meet new people. 76.Jeffrey is quite sure that hes ahead of the other kids in his class. 77.This passage tells us the Wilkinsons opinions about living aboard.

People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.The secret of happiness is also to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Besides, many people find happiness in helping other people.
