I still remember that I went to the beach with my family last summer holiday. We put all our toys and   tools we might use into the car. Then we left for the beach. It was boring to do nothing in the car, so we started to sing songs all the way.

 After a couple of hours, we stopped to have lunch. I ate pizza, potatoes and chicken. They were delicious! Finally, we arrived in Pensacola. My uncle Luis was waiting for us. We all stayed in the same seaside hotel. It was great to have a view of the sea through the hotel windows. Of course we were very tired from our traveling so we rested all day.

 The next day, I was ready to play on the beach. However, I forgot something very important. So I was sunburned at the end of that day. I couldn't move. I lay on the bed and watched television. I felt unhappy even if it was my favorite cartoon. I could hear my brother swimming in the sea outside. I really wanted to join him. Next time I go there, I will be careful and I'm sure I' ll enjoy my holiday on the beach then.

Paris is a city with many historic buildings. But do you know that the most famous historic building in Paris is not really old at all? It's just over 100 years old. You'll find that's a spring chicken if you compare it with the Palace of Versailles. It's said that the Palace of Versailles has a history of over 300 years. Well, the building I mean is the Eiffel Tower. 

The Eiffel Tower was named after an engineer(工程师) called Gustave Eiffel. Gustave Eiffel's company built it between the years 1887 and 1889. 

When people think of Paris, they first think of this 330-metre tower. Every year, nearly seven million people visit the Eiffel Tower. It was the world's tallest building until the US finished building the Empire State Building about 40 years later. 

Here are a few facts about the Eiffel Tower. The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second levels. If you walk to the second floor, you will climb 674 steps. Gustave Eiffel's company had a permit(许可证) for the tower to stand for twenty years. But as the tower was valuable for communication purposes, the city decided to keep it. 

Now it's a symbol of Paris. It's impossible to think of Paris without thinking of this great man-made wonder. 

 The Palace Museum, a widely visited cultural landmark in Beijing, announced new visiting rules on Thursday. These rules include a ban(禁令) on"interviews" and"commercial(商业的) photography". Without the museum' s permission, activities such as performances, on-site surveys and religious events are not allowed. The new rules will come into effect on June 30. Those who seriously break the rules will be listed as"uncivilized tourists".

 Fang Qiongqiong, a cultural sociologist in Shanghai, said these rules were made to prevent chaos(混乱) and improper behavior at historical sites like the Palace Muse um. She added that balancing the social and cultural role was a difficult task.

 Efforts to stop improper behavior at popular tourist spots in China have increased. The Palace Museum' s ban on commercial photo shoots is a noticeable change. A staff member said commercial photo shoots were often seen at the museum and sometimes put off the closing time.

 The museum's new rules, especially the ban on photography and filming, have become a hot topic on Sina Weibo. Netizens have different opinions. Some wonder if online streaming will also be banned. One netizen supports the new rule, saying the age of short videos is excessive and people can do crazy things in public places to attract attention.

 According to data, the Palace Museum welcomed 30,000 visitors on January 1, one of its busiest days. Tags like"Palace Museum' s autumn view" and"snowy Palace Museum" are popular on The Little Red Book. Chen remarked that the new ban might reduce the museum's exposure(曝光) on the Internet.

 The notice also said day tickets would no longer be sold at the museum entrance. All visitors must make reservations in advance with their real names.

London Zoo is one of the top attractions in Britain and it is the world's (最古老的) scientific zoo. It was built over 180 years ago. Now it is run by the Zoological Society of London.

The zoo can be found in the heart of London. (虽然) it lies in the middle of the city, the zoo still has a large (数目) of animals to see, including lions, giraffes, tigers, (猴子) and so on. In fact, there are 750 different groups, making it one of the largest collections of animals in the UK.

The zoo is (分成) into many different areas, such as Lions and Tigers, where you can get very close to a family of beautiful but endangered big cats from Asia. These places are great fun to explore and help make it very (受欢迎的) with tourists from different parts of the world.

Shopping can also be done in the zoo. There are several places where you can buy food and drink. Gifts (两者) about the zoo and the city can be bought in many shops.

The best way to (到达) the zoo is to take the underground. As it is in the (北面) end of Regent's Park, it only takes ten minutes to walk (穿过) the park from Regent's Park Underground Station.

Yesterday, I went to Chaotian Palace Plaza. There were different stands where artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors! It was an  experience for me.

What caught my attention first was , that is, making images out of paper. It was difficult, but a lot of fun! With help from the artist, I  to make one in the shape of a fish. Then I went into a section decorated  a traditional Chinese study, with two beautiful Chinese paintings of a pine tree and some bamboo hung . There was also an old man writing Chinese calligraphy: his writing was so free and elegant!

I travel a lot. Each month, I pack up my suitcase to hit the road, whether it could be by plane, train, or automobile. I always find myself with the same problem—how to stay healthy while traveling?

⒈ Move around.

Though only about 1 in 4, 500 airplane passengers develop a blood clot (血块), you should still make efforts to move around on the plane, just standing in the aisle or by taking a walk to the toilet. Have a layover (中途停留)? Instead of sitting, make sure to walk around the airport. Taking a road trip? Make plenty of stops to move around. Whether it is working out at your hotel, taking hikes, or giving up public transport to walk, you'll feel much better if you get in some activity.

⒉ Prepare snacks smartly.

Though these seem like a convenient choice, they're not the healthiest. I like to pack snacks that are within my calorie budget for the day and 100 calories or under each. When traveling and buying food, I try to choose fresh fruit and vegetables. Is fast food the only choice if you're very hungry? Stick to something simple and whatever you do, don't supersize.

⒊

Because of low humidity on planes, many of us can find ourselves feeling thirstier than ever. Drink more water. Make sure when traveling on day trips to carry water with you at all times. As a result, you will eat more healthily throughout the day.
