Travelling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, but what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful tips.
Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. 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 travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip，Look for work in places you visit.
Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink about 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 to take along medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy their travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

Don’t drive your kids to school. Let them ride a bike to school.
In England 8.3 million children travel to school every day. It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school (under 2%), although one in three children would actually like to.
Experts say that to stay healthy, children need at least one hour of moderate exercise every day. But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that. One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school.
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are readier to listen to their classes, ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car, and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills. Also, for many children, riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car.
Most parents know the benefits. Then what’s stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike? Safety is the number one worry for them. But actually, riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is.
When you decide to buy a bike, you should be aware that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous. Don’t try to get a bike that your child will “grow into”. Get the right size in good working order. Generally, 20-inch wheels are on bikes for 5-8 years old; 24-inch wheels are for 9-11 years old; 26-inch wheels are suitable for those over 11, and some older children should even take bikes with 28-inch wheels, but the main thing is that the bike fits your child.
1. This passage is mainly written for ________.
A. teachers whose students have asked their parents to drive them to school
B. children who have asked their parents to drive them to school
C. parents who drive their children to school
D. parents who drive to work
2. Which of the following benefits of cycling to school is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. It will help children keep healthy.
B. It will make children more active in class.
C. It will make children feel freer.
D. It will be more fun for children.
3. Parents don’t allow their children to ride a bike to school mainly because ________.
A. their children don’t want to
B. they are worried about their children’s safety
C. they don’t know what size bike to choose
D. they haven’t enough money to buy a bike
4. Generally, what size bike is suitable for a 10-year-old child?
A. A bike with 20-inch wheels.
B. A bike with 24-inch wheels.
C. A bike with 26-inch wheels.
D. A bike with 28-inch wheels.
