to plan Your Trip
People are always telling us that“getting there is half the fun” is it true?Is it always true?Of course,we can all remember many enjoyable trips we have haven’t we all taken a trip that wasn’t fun at all?Can we ever forget the time when we just wanted to come home?
The fact is,some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at rs,who travel because they must travel,have a lot of fun doing makes one trip more enjoyable than another?
The answer is trip can be enjoyable if it is well y minute that you spend planning your trip may save you ten minutes of trouble during your may also add an hour of pleasure!
Money
Before you take any trip,the first question to ask yourself is:How much can I spend?When you decide on a figure,write it you can decide where,when,and how to home,you can find out what it costs to travel anywhere in the pick up the phone and call a travel agent(旅行社）.
In Season(旅游旺季)，Off Season(旅游淡季)
Many resorts(旅游胜地) nd cities around the world are popular during some months of the year and less popular during other out if the places you are visiting have an “in” season and“off” may help you to decide when you want to go.
There are some very good reasons to travel during the off lly everything is much is also less crowded,of you don’t have a lot of money-or if you don’t like crowds of tourists(游客)-go in the off season.
Some places are not as exciting during the off weather may be too cold or too beaches may be ls and restaurants(餐馆) ay be sure to find out before you go.
Passports(护照),Visas(签证) nd Health Certificates(健康证明)
It is not hard to get a passport,but you should ask for one a few months before you begin your get one you must have your birth certificate or another legal document(合法文件) o prove that you are a citizen(公民).
Sometimes you need a visa to visit a a visa is necessary,you can ask for one at the country’s embassy(大使馆）times getting a visa takes many months,so it is very important to plan same is true for health this information it is a good idea to call or write the may also get a lot of other useful information from them.
Now that you have planned your trip,you are ready to take ld you expect any surprise?Of course you ’s just hope they’re pleasant ones!
re Travel:Teleportation
Science has changed the way we live and the way we inventions and discoveries have made it possible for us to think about the world in new means of transportation-bikes,cars,airplanes-we use today are good are based on the idea that transportation means moving something from one place to another-on a bike,in a car or by takes time,of course,and we can only travel as fast as the laws of physics will be difficult to travel much faster than today’s airplanes and to travel very far,such as to the stars or to other planets.
Now,scientists believe that we might be able to send things from one place to another without actually moving them through sounds strange,but a new way of transportation may become possible in the future.
Teleportation is a combination of sending information through telephones or the Internet and normal transportation,for example by car or plane,a person or thing is moved from point A to point teleportation,a person or thing is taken apart at point A and put together again at point teleportation becomes possible,we may be able to travel faster and farther than we could ever imagine.
In the 1990s,scientists discovered that teleportation was riments showed that teleportation could be done,but the thing being teleported was destroyed on the far,scientists have only been able to teleport photons-particles(粒子) hat carry light-and laser beams(激光) about teleportation of human beings?Teleporting a human being would be very difficult since there are so many parts in a human the smallest mistake could cause serious problems with the person’s mind or body.
There is still a long way from being able to use teleportation to move human beings,but what we used to think was impossible does now seem we know and what we imagine often work together:the more we know,the more we can imagine,and the more we imagine,the more we can nce is the tool that we use to make our dreams become real and to build a new world with our ideas.
