5. When did you last go on a trip? On Labor Day in May this year, I went to Huang Shan, you know, the Yellow Mountain
in Anhui Province. I spent 4 days there, and it was a memorable trip．First, the scenery was
breathtaking all the way up. It takes a few hours to walk to the top, but it is really worth
it. And you know, it’s a famous place, many emperors have climbed the Yellow Mountain
and I learned quite a bit about our culture and Chinese history. In addition, I visited some
gorgeous little villages around the mountain. Each house is very old, and I got to see
traditional architecture. I went with my parents. We were lucky with the weather. We got
some great pictures of the whole trip.
6. Who do/would you prefer to travel with? It would definitely be great to travel with friends. It would be a lot of fun．Traveling can bring
people closer together, and I am sure that if I were traveling with my best friend we would learn a
lot from each other. We are actually planning a trip together for the October holiday. We intend to
go to Xi’an.
7. What do you like to do on holiday? Well, I like to go back home and spend time with my relatives during the holidays．My
university is located pretty far away from my hometown, so I don’t get to see my parents at any
other time. My mother usually cooks a lot of great food for me. I usually go for a walk with my Dad.
The three of us sometimes go shopping．I generally take advantage of the vacation to take it easy
and recharge my batteries.
8. Do you think it’s good for young people to travel? Yes, definitely! Traveling is a great opportunity for young people to see something
new and learn about different cultures．In addition, they can meet new people, and open up their
minds to the world. They need to realize the differences between their daily lives andother people’s
routines and customs. On top of this, if they get to travel by themselves, it’s a good opportunity for
them to make decisions on their own, and as a result become more independent and mature.
