八、阅读并回答问题
2025南京秦淮期中 Travelling is one of my hobbies. As for me, it is like opening a new book with pages filled with pictures, words, and stories. I have been lucky to experience this joy through my travels. I want to share my travel experiences, which were both fun and educational有教育意义的, in a way that is easy for everyone to understand.
Planning is very important before any trip. I remember sitting with my family and deciding where to go. We looked at maps, read about places on the internet, and talked about what we wanted to see. We chose a place with mountains and beaches. Then, we made a list of things to take with us, like clothes, snacks, and a camera to keep sweet memories for us.
When we reached our destination, I couldn't believe my eyes. The mountains were tall and covered with green trees, and the sea was a beautiful blue. Every place we visited had its own story and people who lived there, and I learned a lot just by looking around and talking to them. It was exciting for me to see so many new sights. Moreover, I tasted new fruits that grew in the mountains and ate seafood that was caught in the sea that same day. Some foods were strange at first, but I found that it was fun to try new things.
Travelling taught me so much. Seeing new places made me curious about the world and want to learn more. I can't wait to go on my next trip and find out more about our amazing world.
