Read the passage. Do the tasks that follow.

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 kilometers away from our hometown. 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. Normally, we don’t stay in resorts. Instead, we stay at homestays where we can get to know more about the life and culture of the local people. 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.
