Want to travel as cheaply as possible while enjoying as many beautiful places as you like?
Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you to travel at your own free will. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers(背包客) also need to pack a spirit that will help them deal with many challenges.
It is exciting to put our ability to test and challenge ourselves with the difficulties we might meet with. So, backpacking is something that almost all young people want to try.
The rich might stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a large bag and depend on themselves to travel through unknown places.
To travel with as little money as possible, they stay in cheap hotels, or in schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents, or under bridges.
Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, with plane tickets dropping in price, more are traveling to countries far away. And some just travel within their own countries.
But no matter where a backpacker travels, planning in advance(提前) is important if he or she wants to enjoy the trip.
Clothing
In summer, light, waterproof (防水的) clothes are best. Backpackers must remember to travel lightly and not pack too many clothes.
Medicine
There are many medicines especially for summer, such as those for sunstroke (中暑). Others are useful in every season, such as those for common colds.
Cards
Three types of cards are valuable for backpackers: student Identity Card, personal ID and a credit card.
A student ID card can be helpful for saving money. It often gets train tickets and entrance tickets at cheaper prices in many western countries.
Personal ID cards can not only get you out of trouble with local police, but also prove useful in all kinds of other situations.
Carrying a credit card can be a safer way than carrying money, as cash can easily get lost, stolen or wet.
Travelers in a foreign country must always take care of their passports.
And of course, don’t forget to enjoy your trip!

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
This is an old English saying (谚语). It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大脑) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

If you had the chance to leave the life you have now, what would you do?

None of the students said no to the work. “With the farmers’ help, they did the work better and better. And they learned a lot more than just farming work.” said Rick Brown, a science teacher at Fair-grounds.
