Tim Greenwood lives in Oakland, the USA. He has written books about Cambodia
Thailand and India. Last month, Tim was interviewed by a travel magazine. Here is what he said during the interview.
◆How did you start travelling?
I never travelled with my family. When I was a teenager, I saw movies like Lawrence of Arabia and they made me want to travel very much I left college at the age of 21 and went to Europe alone. That trip didn't go well. You know, I was too young and didn't know how to look after myself at that time.
◆How did you start writing?
I've loved writing since I was ten. And since then I've never wanted any other career. At the age of 20, I wrote for the weekly college newspaper, and two years later, I started writing travel articles. At first, none of the travel magazines. That I sent them to wanted to buy them, but that slowly changed. It took two or three years, I guess.
◆What do you find difficult about writing?
It is easy to spend all my time travelling, but then I may not have time to open up my laptop (笔记本电脑) and work! Also, it's hard to earn enough money. I'll never stop writing, but one day I will do a few hours' work a week like teaching just to pay the bills (账单).
◆What's the best thing about being a travel writer?
I get letters from young people who've read my books and articles and enjoy my work.
I just love that!
"It's a waste of time," I said when my mom told me that I had to volunteer at Madcaps, a homeless shelter (收容所). I thought that things could not get worse.
We got there late and walked to the dirty homeless shelter, where we saw a lady
shouting at the security guard (保安人员). He dealt with her and then led us to the kitchen.
Then homeless people started to walk in and a little girl, 5 years old, walked up and pointed to the food I was handing out. I handed her a cold sandwich and she nodded to say thanks. She then walked over to her parents, who were seated at a large table.
As she walked away, I thought about how much I had. I go to one of the top schools in San Diego; I have a great house by the water, and I brave a warm meal every night.
Then I thought of how little she had. She probably didn't go to school, and this is where she sleeps and cats every day. That little girl made me realize how lucky I am.
After that moment, I had a change of beard. Now, I love Madcaps and don't miss one meeting. I have made many friends and I often hang out with them. I believe that if you have an open mind about things, you can learn a lot about yourself and the people in your community. You can make new friends and realize just how lucky you are. I believe you can make a difference just by giving otters a band.
We may see some wild animals in different places in our life. They are either large or small. Here is an important rule to follow when you see a wild animal; If it's a large wild animal that you aren't in any way trained to deal with, then don't touch it, don't get close to it, and don't risk your life to take a selfie (自拍) with it. Or you may put yourself in danger. That's a lesson that I learned last week when I was visiting Yellowstone National Park.
It was my mother's birthday last Sunday. My mother and I went to Yellowstone
National Park to enjoy the beautiful scenery, see wild animals and relax ourselves.
Like most young people, when I go to a famous tourist attraction, I like taking selves and sharing them with my friends online.
While my. mother and I were walking in the park, I saw a bison (野牛). It looked really budge. I thought it must be cool to post a selfie of me standing close to it on my Facebook page. So I went close to it and turned my back on the animal to take a photo.
While I was doing that, my mother warned me that I was too close to the animal. She was concerned about my safety. But I didn't listen to her. I kept taking selfies with the bison nearby. Suddenly, the bison ran towards me and used its head to lift me into the air and tossed me aside (向一边). I was frightened to death and thought I was going to die. I felt really regretful. How I wished I hadn't gone so close to it. Luckily, the bison didn't keep attacking me and ran away. My mother immediately came to me. Luckily,
I wasn't badly hurt. I was just too frightened to do anything.
After coming back, I learned that I wasn't the only one that had been attacked by a bison there.
Therefore, I am writing his passage to tell people that we shouldn't stay very close to large wild animals. I do hope that those who read this story will avoid making the mistake that I have made.
Everyone has their own dream. Some of the dreams are big and some of them are small. If you have a dream that seems impossible and is so big that you worry if it will come true, these steps will provide you with some help.
Although it may seem impossible at the beginning, you must believe that you can achieve it. It's not about setting impossible goals, but about dreaming big, planning simply and starting quickly. This is how you learn to make your dreams come true.
Tell others. One of the reasons why dreams remain dreams is that the person who has them is too afraid to share their wishes. Then they may be able to help, advise or encourage you. With their help and encouragement, you will be more confident and it will become easier for you to make your dreams come true.
Work hard and wisely. When a lot of people question why their dreams can't come true, they are watching television, playing with their phones or lying in bed without doing anything. Therefore, you should work bard towards your dream and never give up. The small achievements that you achieve in your life will end up making a great dream come true.

F. From the moment you start until the day you have achieved them, just enjoy the process
A. I think your parents are strict with you. However, in fact, they make the rules to help you study better and they actually love you deeply. You'd better talk with them and ask for some time to have fun.
B. Why not join classes online? There is a famous website for students to learn all subjects. The name of it is Learn and Think. There are lots of excellent teachers who have free classes for students online. The website of it is www. Learn and Think. com.
C. Tell your parents many studies show that if children watch TV too much and eat
more unhealthy food, they will get overweight (肥胖的). Overweight children become ill more easily. Besides, watching TV too much is also bad for their eyes.
D. It's not the only way to lose weight by eating more fruit and vegetables. You can reach your goal by taking some exercise. What about doing some sports like soccer, running or swimming? As time goes by, you can see you will be much thinner than before.
E. Why don't you talk with your sister in person? Tell her that she should turn down the music while you are doing your homework, because it may disturb (打扰) you. Remember to tell her you love her a lot actually. I think she can forgive (原谅) you. Don't you think so?
F. You can visit some neighbors and friends here to learn more about their festivals. You can talk about some festivals and ways to celebrate them here. They may give you much information and you can make more friends at the same time.

I'm Linda. I moved from America to Mexico with my family last month. The next Sunday is Mother's Day. I want to know how people here celebrate this special festival.
I am Lily, My little sister danced to the music while I was doing my homework yesterday evening. I couldn't pay attention to my homework. So I fought with her. Now she doesn't talk with me. What can I do?
I am Tina in Grade Nine now. I am good at English but my physics is not very good. I find it really difficult to learn this subject: I want to get good grades in my physics. What should I do?
There are a lot of rules in my family. For example, I must get up at a quarter to six in the morning. I have to read a book before I go to bed every day. I never have fun.
