Both of my parents love travelling, and they usually take us along. My mum told me that I started travelling with them when I was just four months old. It was a short trip to a city 120 kilometres away from our home town. Mum said I was a good girl since I ate and slept during the trip without ever crying.

Every year my family goes on different trips from 2 days to 2 weeks. We normally don’t stay in resorts. Instead we stay at homestays where we can get to know more about the life and culture of the people in those areas. We eat with them, watch them cook, and go hiking with them.

Sometimes we go abroad for our holidays. I still remember when I went to Disneyland in Hong Kong and later visited the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I will never forget the moment seagulls took some snacks from my hands when we were sitting outside the Sydney Opera House.

I believe that when we travel together, we can strengthen our bonds and have great memories with our beloved family members.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Cả bố mẹ tôi đều thích đi du lịch và họ thường đưa chúng tôi đi cùng. Mẹ tôi nói với tôi rằng tôi bắt đầu đi du lịch cùng họ khi tôi mới bốn tháng tuổi. Đó là một chuyến đi ngắn đến một thành phố cách quê hương của chúng tôi 120 km. Mẹ nói tôi là một cô bé ngoan vì suốt chuyến đi tôi ăn và ngủ mà không bao giờ khóc.

Mỗi năm gia đình tôi đi các chuyến du lịch khác nhau từ 2 ngày đến 2 tuần. Chúng tôi thường không ở trong khu nghỉ dưỡng. Thay vào đó chúng tôi ở nhà dân, nơi chúng tôi có thể biết thêm về cuộc sống và văn hóa của người dân ở những khu vực đó. Chúng tôi ăn cùng họ, xem họ nấu ăn và đi bộ đường dài cùng họ.

Đôi khi chúng tôi đi ra nước ngoài để nghỉ lễ. Tôi vẫn nhớ khi đến Disneyland ở Hồng Kông và sau đó đến thăm Sở thú Taronga ở Sydney. Tôi sẽ không bao giờ quên khoảnh khắc những chú hải âu giật lấy đồ ăn nhẹ từ tay tôi khi chúng tôi đang ngồi bên ngoài Nhà hát Opera Sydney.

Tôi tin rằng khi đi du lịch cùng nhau, chúng tôi có thể thắt chặt tình cảm và có những kỷ niệm tuyệt vời với những người thân yêu trong gia đình của chúng tôi.
