Go travelling. That’s one of the best ways for you to learn.
Once you have decided your destination(目的地), the next step in planning a trip is to book your flights. Learning how to find cheap flights will help you a lot and you can save a lot from the biggest travel cost.
As a travelling family, if you travel abroad and it’s a long hard flight, I suggest that you plan your trip in advance so that you can get to your destination as quickly as possible, to make the trip more comfortable that your budget(预算) allows! If it’s your one-and-only dream vacation for the year, I recommend you pay a little bit extra money for a high-quality airline and fly directly too!
When searching for cheap flights online, we always start with Skyscanner, which is one of our favourite booking sites. Skyscanner is a comparison(比较) site that searches millions of flights from over a thousand airlines, and once you’ve found your flight on it, you are taken to the airline to make your booking with no extra money added. Download the new Skyscanner App, which makes it easier for you to find the best travel deals. It’s an all in one search engine app with flights, hotels and car hire involved.
Other credible flight search engines include Kayak, Hipmunk, Google Flights and Momondo.
After you found your best flight on the search engines, do directly to that airline’s own website and see if you can get it for cheaper tickets. Many airlines have lower fares only available on their own sites.

Many people would like to watch sport matches. First, you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas(竞技场) have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Clapping is a special form
of body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, clap warmly. If someone fails, your clapping will help encourage them.
Clapping is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their attention. Various sports have various rules for the audience.
Enjoying artistic gymnastics(体操) needs silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch snooker(斯诺克台球) and table tennis matches, flash photography is not allowed. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.
To be a good audience, you should take time to learn the game—particular rules and related culture of each event.

Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India? This is the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is more than 9 million square kilometers.
In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. It is much hotter during the day than at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 pm and 4 pm—when temperatures rise to 33℃. But it is very cold at night, the coldest time is at 4 am, when temperatures fall to -1℃.
Because of the extreme temperatures in the desert, it is a very difficult place to survive(幸存). Marco Rivera, our survival expert, has some tips.
Take warm clothes and a blanket. You will need a hat, long trousers and a thick sweater to keep you warm at night. During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold rapidly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
Try to drink some water at least once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. If you eat, you will get thirsty and your water will run out soon. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat a small amount of food slowly.
It’s important to stay out of the sun during the day. Make a hole under your car and lie there. This will keep you cool and help you sleep. Find a warm place to sleep at night. A small place near a tree or a rock will be the warmest. But be careful before you decide where to sleep. Dangerous animals like snakes also like to sleep in these places. Look carefully for animals before you lie down.
