At present more and more people like to travel during their holidays. The other day I read a report about the people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have developed. them, the most interesting one is the growth of holiday camps.
From the report we can see that in 1990, forty percent of people stayed at for their holidays. However, now the percentage has fallen to nine percent. More people go out for fun. People enjoy fresh air, clean water and green hills when they go camping in places far the city. In 1990, thirty-eight percent of people going to the seaside in 2002 only twenty-seven percent preferred to go there. What great changes!
have those changes taken place? I think there are several reasons. Firstly, it’s because people can to travel. Secondly, people prefer to live a high quality and more wonderful life. Thirdly, their to relaxation have changed. Fewer and fewer people want to save money by living a simple life.

This is good news for children in the countryside. We may still remember the girl big eyes. Her big eyes are us her dream: I wish to ! In China, there are still girls and boys like her. They want to go to school, but their families are too poor. If the family has two or three children, parents send them all to school. So they often ask to stay at home, and boys to go to school.

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be kind to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into trouble.
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is cruel to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is starving. Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to _ others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones --- so who is to __ what is right?
