Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so youll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.Plan ahead: Dont wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit. Go off the beaten path: Tourist sites may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.Use the Internet: The net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelcity. com, www. bargains- lowest fare(票价). com and www.economic . By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime. 61.

You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME.Now think for a minute about SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition（释义）to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at sea.Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heartsick doesnt mean that something is wrong with a persons heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake, handstand, and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them.来源:学.科.网Z.X.X.K64.

Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. Its very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing. Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their childs development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. Can all be very expensive? Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional(专业的) trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.68.
