Track 3-1-8；3-1-9 Tips for better packing Are you planning to travel for a weekend or several months around the country or overseas? Here are some tips to help you pack your bags. 1. Pre-trip planning. Make a packing list to help you remember everything. Reveal it about a week before your trip. Plan a time to go shopping for things you need for your trip. Dont pack the night before you travel. Youll forget things when youre in a hurry. 2. Tagging luggage. Before packing, put names tags on valuable items like cameras and cellphones. Make sure that each piece of luggage, including carry-on has a luggage tag on it. If you know your hotels address and phone numbers, put it on your luggage tags. 3. Saving space. Pack small items: socks, belts and etc inside your shoes. It uses the empty space and helps the shoes to hold their shape. Pack your clothes in plastic bags. If youre traveling with a friend, plan your packing together, share your alarm clock, toothpaste or first aid kit. 4. Your carry-on bag. The most important items for your trip: passport, plane tickets, travelers checks, credit cards keys and etc should go in your carry-on bag. Always keep them with you. Keep your carry-on bag small and light. Put those the heavy items in your checking luggage. Use soft bags such as backpacks or shoulder bags for carry-ons. They fit easily under the airplane seat or into the small overhead compartment. 5. Other ideas. Bring an empty bag for souvenirs from the trip. Remember to pack a few rub of bans, safety pins and plastic bags, they can be very useful. Bring some snacks such as nuts, cookies or dried fruit, you can eat them if you dont have enough time for a meal. Sharing food is a good way to made other travelers.

I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out. Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to Tanzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In Tanzania, its very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didnt really know where we were going to go. We didnt really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, Lets go there and we just kind of landed. Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving-l think-she was serving food-and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance-and her hand landed on the guys head, who had a toupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because youre not allowed to laugh video track 3-1-3 Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant.

Id like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safer places for bicyclingand walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we dont take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children can play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. Theres nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theater for plays and concerts. Audio track 3-2-8 Take back your street Two neighbors meet on a city sidewalk. They talk about planting more flowers along their street, or asking the city council to add bike lanes to a busy road. In small but important ways, these people are changing the face of their cities. All around the world, people are speaking up and working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestrians. Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets, made streets narrower, put in traffic lights and speed bumps, and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school. Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia, named David Engwicht. His book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple message. He says that in the past, streets belonged to everybody. Kids played there, and neighbors stopped there to talk. But now, streets are just for cars and trucks. People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic, and we lose contact with our neighbors. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation. People need to take back their streets. Engwicht travels around the world, helping people think differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. Besides his books and articles, he gives many speeches. He has worked in neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned about how neighbors in the city Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the streets. Cars could still pass, but they had to drive slowly. When the police arrived, they saw the value of these illegal actions to make the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and “calm” the traffic. Engwicht says we should think about streeets as our “outdoor living room.” Calming the traffic is just the beginning. In the future, streets will be safe places for childre again, and our neighbors will become our friends.
