“Boys and girls, today we will take a special kind of trip! We will not leave the school, but we will be able to see a faraway place by taking a tour on the Internet. We call this an online trip because it is on the computer. Today, we will visit Alnwick Castle.” Mr Johnson teaches us geography. After saying that in class, he taught us how to use the computer to visit the castle.
Alnwick Castle is a real castle in England. It is about 250 miles northeast to Oxford, about twenty miles south to Scotland and forty miles north to Newcastle. During our wonderful and special trip, we knew that the castle was first built for military (军事的) use in 1096. Since 1309 it has become a living house. Some modern things were added in the castle gradually. It was even one of the first homes in England to have electricity (电). Now it is a comfortable and large place to live. After Windsor Castle, it is the second largest castle in England that people lived in. The Percy family live in the castle but now they only use a part of it.

When you travel in other places, you'd better do things as the following:
Visiting other places just like visiting the home of your friends, you have to respect the place, respect the lifestyle, respect the culture and respect the people there.
Never complain about the differences between your place and the place you are
visiting, because no place is the same. If you expect everything is the same as in your place, why do you travel? Remember, complaint won't make your trip enjoyable, just makes you look rude. And it seems that you don't know how to respect others and you don't know much about this world.
Respect and follow the culture and the lifestyle of people of other places. Don't try to apply the way people in your place do to other places. If you do so, you will only be an unwelcome visitor in that place. So, why make yourself unwelcome and look silly?
Admire the differences of other places that you are visiting. It doesn't mean losing face.
