Traveling
　　As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Today people are so fond of traveling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries.
　　The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, spending an annual holiday abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have the opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic.
　　Traveling is also one of the best means for learning.  In my opinion, the knowledge acquired from travel, as you will find in your life, is more valuable than that from any influential reference book.
　　In conclusion, for many people traveling enjoys top priority among various entertainment activities. You will be more confident of your life and work if you travel from time to time.             (160 words)

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them. 生命的价值不在于能活多少天，而在于我们如何使用这些日子。

旅 行
　　在旅途中，你可以欣赏到典型的当地美景。此外，你还能遇见和结交不同肤色、不同种族的新朋友。如今人们是如此地酷爱旅行，旅游业已成为大部分国家发展最快的产业之一。
　　人们旅行的主要原因也许是为了娱乐。举个例子，利用年假出国旅游对于那些从来没有机会离开家乡的人而言，是一件极其令人满意的经历。人们度假归来后，他们通常会感到容光焕发、充满力量。
　　旅行也是学习的一种最佳途径。我认为，在旅途中获得的知识，正如在生活中所学到的一样，比任何一本巨著中学到的都更宝贵。
　　总而言之，对于许多人而言，旅行是各种娱乐活动的首选。如果你时常旅行，你就会对自己的生活和工作更加自信。
