Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows the visitor to rent a room from a local family to better understand the local lifestyle. It also helps to improve the visitor’s language ability”’ said a teacher during a school meeting last
term.“Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won’t be disappointed (失望的) . ”
After this special meeting,I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month,I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London,a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
As we were still young,we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London,we went to Stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭) was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from them too.
The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast,a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest like the Big Ben,the London Bridge,and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.
The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet,time really flew fast. Three weeks later,we had to leave “home” for Hong Kong.

We parents like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients (營 養(yǎng)) they need. Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit,they may start eating vegetables. Don ’ t say things like ,“ If you eat your vegetables,you can have desserts. ” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don ’ t work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small,it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example,cut up vegetables like carrots,tomatoes,and assemble (集合) a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping (浸) vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer,you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn ’t lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables,some of these suggestions I ’ ve listed will help to turn that around. In the end,you’re not just getting them to eat vegetables? you are helping them live a healthier lifestyle.
() 1. According to the text,all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT .
A. making vegetables much sweeter
