Discover Copenhagen with kids: top places to see
Some people think that travelling with children is quite difficult. Kids are often too young to understand the point of a visit in some museums. But luckily, there are cities that offer many attractions not only for adults, but also for little tourists. Among these cities, Copenhagen also has its place.
The mysteries of the sea world
In the National Aquarium Denmark, many species of water animals can be seen. Kids will be surely delighted with all the colourful fish, swimming between water plants. It is also an occasion to see the fantastic coral reef(珊瑚礁). When someone is brave enough, he can also see some sharks swimming behind the glass!
Tivoli - amusement for everyone
The first opening of this magical place was in the 19th century. Nowadays it's an attraction for people of all ages. Beautiful gardens encourage tired tourists as well as local people. Those who seek for some excitements will also have good fun here - several roller coasters guarantee great entertainment. That park looks amazing in the evening, when it is brightly lit with many lights.
Film in a planetarium
People who would like to experience something connected with science and astronomy ought to visit the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. Here the 3D films are being displayed on a screen. Tourists from abroad can use special headphones, so they can listen to the audio-description in English. The visit here can be useful not only for kids, but also for adults.
A monument of Little Mermaid
Children will surely like that statue - especially when parents will tell them the fairy tale about that character. A short visit by that monument is customary, because it is one of the worldwide known symbols of Copenhagen. It is located in the port and depicts a mermaid sitting on a rock. The tale was written by Hans Andersen, who was living in that city for some period of his life.
This morning it was harder for me to get out of bed than usual. Usually, I have nightmares (噩梦) because of the terrible movies I watched the night before, and sometimes spicy (辛辣的) food makes me feel uncomfortable in sleeping. However, last night I turned all night because my anxiety was at an all-time high. I kept thinking about what my first day of high school would be like. What should I wear? What should I put in my schoolbag? I finally fell asleep around 5:45 and my alarm started going off at 6.
I couldn't let those thoughts cloud my mind. I had to prepare myself for one of the most important days of my life. I packed my things and headed out of the door. My first class wasn't too bad. I listened to my English teacher discuss the importance of themes, but otherwise, it was a pretty easy-going class.
During lunchtime, I had a pizza and an orange soda. I'm grateful for the food not tasting terrible so I wouldn't keep thinking about that all day. I still didn't manage to find any new friends to sit with, but I'm just happy I found a quiet place to stay. It would have been uncomfortable if I had to sit in a noisy classroom to eat lunch, or an empty hallway with some kids walking past and laughing.
Once the last bell rang, I was eager to get home and tell Charlie, my childhood friend how my day went at a new school. I was just excited to speak to a familiar voice and share my feelings of the whole day. I wondered how his day went at his new school as well. I got on the same train line that I took to school and headed back home.
Speaking to Charlie on the phone, I found out he made many new friends today. Once I got off the phone, I threw myself on the bed with a long sigh (叹气). Although I'd experience this again tomorrow, I'm glad I got through my first day at school.
Growing up with movies such as "High School Musical" and "Grease", which presented the ideal(理想的)high school friendships, we sometimes expect a perfect relationship. Indeed, some high school friendships can be real and simple; while still some high school students will meet a friend who causes trouble. With failed friendships come lessons and experiences learned for the future. You will know the influence after you leave high school.
"I was always worried about what my friends thought about me. Sometimes my friends would make fun of what I wore or what I would do. I always tried to get along well with them, but I realized how happy I was once I stopped contacting them after high school," said Elisha, Class of 2020.
Most teens have not realized the big question when dealing with high school problems. In five years, will this still matter? It is hard looking at the big picture when the problems are in front of you, which is understandable. However, most teens need a moment to reflect (反思) and question if the problem matters in a long time.
Briana, a high school teacher, said, "Now, I am in contact with two high school friends. I think the friendship experiences I had in high school shaped who I am because I learned to be open minded and befriend all kinds of people. I learned to see people for who they are, not what they wear or who they play with. I learned most of all how to be a good friend."
High school is a small part of your life, but it has a huge influence on who you will become and where you will go. Friendships and relationships help shape who you are, whether they are good or bad. Lessons are brought, and lessons are learned.
Prihardinni, from the Indonesian city of Surabaya, is amazed at how traditional Chinese medicine (TCM中医) has continued to develop since she began studying it a year ago.
When Prihardinni was 10 years old, she suffered from serious headaches. So, her mother took her to see a TCM doctor near their home. The doctor checked her pulse, examined her face and tongue, and wrote down a prescription(处方). After several weeks of drinking Chinese medicine, she didn't have headaches any more.
"His medical skills were like magic," Prihardinni recalled. The experience of being cured by TCM impressed her and it encouraged her to choose TCM study. Now, she is a freshman at the Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, which has thousands of years of history and widespread international popularity.
"TCM is becoming more and more popular worldwide and has become an important cultural symbol(象征) for China," said Zhao Zhongting, a professor at the Gansu University of Chinese Medicine. "Many foreign students face difficulties in fully understanding the meaning and function of TCM medical terms because of cultural and language barriers," Zhao said, adding that in order to help them, the university offers various training courses for freshmen, including chemistry, language study and Chinese medicine culture. Activities between local and international students, lectures and study tours are also provided to help students better understand the courses.
"More people in my country are becoming interested in TCM. Many social media(媒体) are sharing their experiences with Chinese medicine," Prihardinni said, adding that she plans to return to her hometown after graduation and open a TCM clinic(诊所). "I want to tell my parents and friends that Chinese medicine is also a good and believable choice."
