Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role -- showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.

“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains. “I pay £5 for a portion, but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometime we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”

The eight-part series, Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.

With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

Nowadays, crowds of tourists travelled to the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking Universities. “Tsinghua University opens to the public at 8: 30 a.m, however, many people start to line up at 3-4 a.m, because people who come at 6 a.m. may be too late and can only enter in the afternoon,” a guard told People’s Daily.

In fact, it’s not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded with tourists in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem.

According to the Guardian, the road in front of King’s College, Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren in uniforms, before most coach (长途汽车) tours have even arrived.

Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to tour a university, according to a survey.

So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities?

One reason is that many parents hope to get their children accepted into a top university in the future, according to People’s Daily.

One of the mothers from Hunan Province said while walking her 14-year-old son around the campuses of Tsinghua and Peking universities this summer, “I brought him here to see what top universities look like and let him compare them with those of our hometown. I hope he can learn something and be inspired to come here to study in the future,” she told China Daily.

And it’s not just ambitious students and parents you’ll find touring campuses. A tourist of 31, who comes from Xi’an, visited tow famous US universities in 2014. “American universities are much more open than Chinese ones. There are no walls,” he told The New York Times, “I was excited. I felt this urge to have a free exchange of ideas with someone.”

After all these experiences, I learned a lot and began to grow up. One autumn night, when my parents and I returned from my uncle’s house, my mother said that we might leave for Australia soon. I was crying on the bus, and some people were turning around to look at me. I could not stop the thought of never hearing the morning radio programmes in school again.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I couldn’t wait to think about all the places I was going to see— the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving was hardly in my head then.

The following years taught me to think all was going to turn out well, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not know very clearly what I was or what I should be. Father died and Mother then married again… and things became even more complex(复杂). More than two years passed, my stepfather and I got used to each other at last. I was often sad, and saw no end to“the hard times.”

My responsibilities in the family increased since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, taught my mother to fill out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers(移民局官员),took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there…

I have learned that all common troubles go away at last if we don’t give up. My life will turn out all right, even though it will be so hard.
