1 What do you think the saying means
Travelling can sometimes give us many new ideas and we can experience different customs,cultures and traditions. Travelling can make us relaxed and get away from the pressure,which will again benefit our mind a lot.
“Travel broadens the mind.”
Read the saying and answer the questions.
Do you agree with the saying Give some examples to support your opinion.
Yes. For example,Chinese love to go on their holidays in the areas where many ethnics(少数民族的人) live.
Besides enjoying the breathtaking(激动人心的) natural scenery there,they can try hundreds of delicious foods and drinks,and celebrate many wonderful festivals with locals.
In addition,by travelling abroad,people can also learn foreign languages which enable them to appreciate literature and know history.

1______________________________________My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef,and a happy one at that,but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging(博客) and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months,there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first,I only regarded it as a hobby,but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013,I was determined to make my dream come true:I would become Australia’s first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job,but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling have over 464,000 fans following me online. I’ve got to know more about this country and its people.
c Who are you and what do you do
我叫劳伦·伊丽莎白·皮里·巴思。几年前我还是一名厨师,我也很喜欢那份工作,但我希望能够获得更多的生活体验:我想去旅行。就在那时我接触到了博客,并且我发现自己拍的照片很不错。所以我决定把照片发布在我的博客上。在不到18个月的时间里就有超过20万人看了我的博客!起初,我只是把这件事当作爱好,但逐渐开始有公司愿意付费请我拍照并出版我拍的照片。2013年,我决定实现自己的梦想:成为澳大利亚第一位职业摄影博主。这是一份具有挑战性的工作,但我做到了。现在我每个月花三周时间旅行,在线关注我的粉丝超过46.4万人,而我对这个国家的风土人情也有了更多了解。
TRAVEL
2 _________________________________________________I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips,but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
b What is your connection to Western Australia
因工作原因,我于2013年第一次来到西澳大利亚州。我对西澳北部一见钟情,之后又去了那里六次。我最喜欢的一些照片就是在那儿拍的。我的工作旅行超过140次,但那些最棒的经历都是来自金伯利地区的布鲁姆镇。
Background information
Western Australia is one of the six states of Australia. As the name suggests, it is located on the west of the continent, and takes up about one-third of the continent's landmass. Though much of Western Australia is desert, its great size means that it has a diverse climate, flora(植物群) and fauna(动物群). Its capital city is Perth.
西澳大利亚州是澳大利亚的六个州之一。顾名思义,它位于大陆的西部,约占大陆陆地面积的三分之一。尽管西澳大利亚大部分地区是沙漠,但其巨大的面积意味着它有着多样的气候、动植物。它的省会城市是珀斯。
Background information
Located 2,240 kilometres north of Perth, Broome is a coastal tourist town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is one of Western Australia's most popular tourist destinations(目的地), as it provides access to the Kimberley region's wilderness areas.
The Kimberley region covers Australia's northwestern corner, and is well known for its spectacular(壮观的) wilderness. It has a complex landscape that includes great gorges(峡谷), waterfalls and cave systems, pockets of rainforest and a large variety of wildlife.
背景信息
布鲁姆位于珀斯以北2240公里处,是西澳大利亚金伯利地区的一个沿海旅游小镇。它是西澳大利亚最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一,因为它提供了前往金伯利地区荒野地区的通道。
金伯利地区位于澳大利亚西北角,以其壮观的荒野而闻名。它有一个复杂的景观,包括大峡谷、瀑布和洞穴系统、雨林和各种野生动物。

3 _____________________________________________________ It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region,in particular,is unique and untouched. As a photographer,I love the bright light and amazing colours:red rocks,green plants,blue-green waters and blue skies.
a What do you love most about Western Australia
那里风景极其优美,在那里你可以体验最本土的澳大利亚风情。尤其是金伯利地区有着独一无二的原生态景观。作为一名摄影师,我钟爱那里明亮的光线和绚丽的色彩:红岩绿树,碧水蓝天。

4._________________________________________________________ To work full time in travel,you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun,so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. I also enjoy photographing animals,such as dolphins and kangaroos.
e How does your love of nature influence your photography
要把旅行当做全职工作,你必须热爱自然。我尽量把握每一个机会到户外感受大自然。我喜欢拍摄日出,所以我每天早起,让自己融入自然。我也喜欢拍摄动物,比如海豚和袋鼠。

YOURSELF
5 ___________________________________________________________ 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.
d Does your photography support environmental protection
我希望能够有所帮助。我通过拍照影响他人,尤其是涉及环境问题的时候。今天我一直在拍摄一条鳄鱼,它一整天都在我们乘坐的“金伯利探秘号”附近徘徊。我在网上发布图片时会附上评论,告诉人们投喂野生鳄鱼是多么糟糕的行为。这条鳄鱼已经习惯了船上游人们的投食,并且正在不断熟悉人类。时间长了,它就会成为附近居民的威胁。如果我能做点事情让别人意识到这个问题,那就能在一定程度上促进问题的解决。
