1. What do you think the saying means
Traveling increases the range of our knowledge and experience. To know about new customs and different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life, especially our life, and it can help us change some of our habits or even develop new ones.
2. Do you agree with the saying Give some examples to support your opinion.

5 Does your photography support environmental protection
I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I’ve been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that’s part of the solution.

As high school students, we should not only pay attention to taking care of nature, but also have dreams. The relationship between man and nature is the most basic relationship of human society, and to protect nature is to protect human beings.
The world is beautiful because of life, and life is wonderful because of dreams. In the voyage of life, only by chasing our dreams, constantly reflecting and adjusting when we face difficulties, can we make our dream come true!
