Everyone loves going on holiday to foreign countries. Here is something you can do to make sure you enjoy your holiday.

Get ready for it

Did you take your passport (护照)? Every year, thousands of people can’t take their planes because they leave their passports at home, they arrive at the airport too late, or even go to the wrong airport.

Search for some information

How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning some traditions of a country will help you know the people well. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends.

Help the local (当地的) people

You can help local people a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means your money will go to local people, but not a large foreign company.

Always remember your holiday

You always want to remember your holiday. Write down something about your holiday to remember all the good time you had and also the new friends you made on holiday. Do you want to send them pictures or presents? Remember to do it!
