Traveling can be a good way to get life experiences．But what will you do if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip?Don't worry．Here are some useful suggestions．
Plan ahead：This is probably the most important preparation for traveling．Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip, or you will have to spend more on tickets．Write down how much you expect to spend on food and hotels．Make a plan and you can save much in this way．
Find useful information：Travel books will offer information about the cheapest hotels and restaurants．Also the Internet can help you save money．You can find some useful websites like www．Travelcity．com and www．Economy travel, com．
Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．
Go to a less-known place：Well-known places may be expensive and too crowded．You may want to think over your trip and go to a less-known place．Smaller towns still have many interesting activities and sights．You can learn about lots of local customs, too．
Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes．Remember medicine because you may get sick．Snacks are also necessary because they can save you much money when you can not find a cheap restaurant．
By planning carefully, you can not only enjoy traveling but also save lots of money．You will remember your travel experiences all your life．

I was cleaning out an old bos when an old card caught my eye: Queen City Casket Company．“What is it?”I wondered．I turned it over．There, in faded ink, was a hand-written address．Immediately my mind traveled many years back．
I was nine years old, walking down the cold and v．ot streets of Springfield, with a bag of magazines on my shoulder．That day, I came to the company finally, whose owner, Mr Rader, had always taken me there to ask his workers if they wanted any magazines．
Shaking off the rain like a wet dog, I went into Mr Rader's office．After a quick look he took me over to the fireplace．Noticing the hole in the top of my shoe, he said,“Come with me!”pulling me into his car．We stopped in front of a shoe store．Inside, a salesman fitted me with the finest pair of shoes I had ever seen．I felt about 10 feet tall when I got up in them．“We'd like a pair of new socks, too．”Mr Rader said．
Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a card, wrote something on it and handed it to me．With tearful eyes, I read,“Do to others as you would have them do to you．”He said kindly,“Jimmy, I want you to know I love you．”
I said good-bye, and for the first time I sensed a piece of hope that tilings would be better．With people like Mr Rader in the world, there was hope, kindness and love, and that would always make a difference．

Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job．Every day trucks come into a city to collect it．Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use．If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish．
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump．Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole．The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system．The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places．
To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish．Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land．Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump．
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places．The fire burns everything but the metal．Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal．The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called hurnus, which looks like black earth．It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow．
