Travelling with children is usually more than just a trip. As parents, we give them a chance for growth, learning, and connection. Let’s explore the key advantages of travelling with kids.
According to a study from Texas A&M University, family trips offer more than just a break. It could play an important role in building a closer relationship. According to researchers Durko and Petrick, shared travel experiences with children help increase family bonding (联结) through shared memories, and improve communication. For children, travel can also support emotional (情感的) development. As modern families face a growing need for quality times, trips force all members of the family to break from daily life, and connect.
According to Psychreg, family trips can have a powerful influence on a child’s emotions and social life. When children are put in new environments, cultures, and situations, they develop stronger and greater empathy (同理心). When your children hear words that are extremely different from theirs, their brain becomes more open-minded. Put kids in charge of planning, or finding new activities when a cancellation happened. It helps children practise skills beyond what is taught in the classroom.
Travel encourages kids to step out of their comfort zone. As an article on the points out: Exploring new environments and overcoming challenges during travel can develop a child’s confidence and independence. In this article, the author, Amil Niazi shares how a family trip to London helped her shy son get confidence and begin to open up.
Travel offers an excellent chance to improve critical thinking in children. As noted by Study International, exploring unfamiliar environments encourages kids to solve real-world problems, like following maps, or adapting (适应) to cultural differences. By encouraging children to ask questions, reflect on their day, and explore purposefully, parents can help develop their child’s ability to think independently.
8. What does the study from Texas AM University show
A. Family trips are especially good for parents. B. Family trips force people to make new friends.
C. Family trips help develop stronger relationships. D. Family members become more supportive in trips.
9. What influence do family trips have on children socially
A. They become more active. B. They learn to solve practical problems.
C. They receive better grades in school. D. They practise skills learned in classrooms.
10. How did Amil Niazi support her point of view
A. By giving an example. B. By listing numbers.
C. By offering advice. D. By making comparisons.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A Challenges During Travel B. Activities Good for Children
C. Advantages of Travelling with Kids D. Cultural Differences in Different Countries
D
Wouldn't it be great if all kids had their own teacher One-on-one instruction for everyone. Yes, in a perfect world, this is what we would choose. Alas, we are not in a perfect world — we have school overcrowding (过度拥挤) , underpaid and overworked teachers…the list goes on and on.
But smaller class size — can’t we do something about that
Smaller class size is clearly connected with achievement, according to education professors and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data. However, an economist found that class size wasn't connected with achievement. But wait, smaller class size is connected with greater learning efficacy (功效) , even as early as kindergarten. And just changing class size — just class size, other factors aside — makes a difference (Toppo, 2008) .
So why haven’t we worked towards a smaller class size Smaller class size is more expensive. More classroom space and more teachers are needed. And in today’s economic climate, smaller class size seems further out of reach than ever.
Whitehurst and Chingos, in Class Size: What Research Says and What It Means for State Policy (2011) , write:
“When school has trouble with money, the cost-benefit test (成本效益测试) any educational plan must pass is not ‘Does this plan have any positive effect ’ but rather ‘Is this plan the most productive use of these educational dollars ’ ”
So even if smaller class size does positively affect students, it clearly is not the most productive use of educational dollars. What is your thought on that
What are the choices Private schools tend to have a smaller class size, but they can be expensive. There are also public schools that also tend to have a smaller class size — but space is limited.
What are your ideas on class size Is it helpful, but not “cost-effective” Or should educational value outstrip cost-effectiveness Or does class size not make that much of a difference to show that it is worth the cost
12. Which is a problem of present education according to Paragraph 1
A. Small class size. B. High prices.
C. Tired teachers. D. Overstressed students.
13. What does the author think of smaller class size
A. Unrealistic. B. Creative. C. Early. D. Useless.
14. What does the underlined word “outstrip” in the last paragraph mean
A. Guide. B. Overtake. C. Harm. D. Manage.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The future of small size class. B. The high cost of educational value.
C. Various opinions on smaller size class. D. Problems caused by smaller size class.

As noted by Study International, exploring unfamiliar environments encourages kids to solve real-world problems, like following maps, or adapting (适应) to cultural differences. By encouraging children to ask questions, reflect on their day, and explore purposefully, parents can help develop their child’s ability to think independently.

D
Wouldn't it be great if all kids had their own teacher One-on-one instruction for everyone. Yes, in a perfect world, this is what we would choose. Alas, we are not in a perfect world — we have school overcrowding (过度拥挤) , underpaid and overworked teachers…the list goes on and on.
But smaller class size — can’t we do something about that
Smaller class size is clearly connected with achievement, according to education professors and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data. However, an economist found that class size wasn't connected with achievement. But wait, smaller class size is connected with greater learning efficacy (功效) , even as early as kindergarten. And just changing class size — just class size, other factors aside — makes a difference (Toppo, 2008) .
So why haven’t we worked towards a smaller class size Smaller class size is more expensive. More classroom space and more teachers are needed. And in today’s economic climate, smaller class size seems further out of reach than ever.
Whitehurst and Chingos, in Class Size: What Research Says and What It Means for State Policy (2011) , write:
“When school has trouble with money, the cost-benefit test (成本效益测试) any educational plan must pass is not ‘Does this plan have any positive effect ’ but rather ‘Is this plan the most productive use of these educational dollars ’ ”
So even if smaller class size does positively affect students, it clearly is not the most productive use of educational dollars. What is your thought on that
What are the choices Private schools tend to have a smaller class size, but they can be expensive. There are also public schools that also tend to have a smaller class size — but space is limited.
What are your ideas on class size Is it helpful, but not “cost-effective” Or should educational value outstrip cost-effectiveness Or does class size not make that much of a difference to show that it is worth the cost
12. Which is a problem of present education according to Paragraph 1
A. Small class size. B. High prices.
C. Tired teachers. D. Overstressed students.
13. What does the author think of smaller class size
A. Unrealistic. B. Creative. C. Early. D. Useless.
14. What does the underlined word “outstrip” in the last paragraph mean
A. Guide. B. Overtake. C. Harm. D. Manage.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The future of small size class. B. The high cost of educational value.
C. Various opinions on smaller size class. D. Problems caused by smaller size class.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C

【答案】Dear Charles,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been unwell lately. Please take good care of yourself and don’t push too hard. Health is the foundation of everything, so there’s no need to rush with studies while you’re recovering.
In fact, moderate exercise won’t delay your studies. A 20-minute walk or jog daily can refresh your mind and boost efficiency. You can fit it in after finishing homework or during breaks. This will make you more focused when you get back to your books, instead of delaying your progress.
Hope you’ll feel better soon and balance study with exercise well. Looking forward to your good news!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
