—I see. And I'd like to take part in this activity.
Mr and Mrs Spencer both had very busy jobs and didn't have much time to spend with their young children. They wanted to change this, and because their hobby was boating, they decided to sail(出海航行) around the world together.
It took six years to prepare everything for the trip. First, they bought a new boat. Then, both of them had to take good sailing lessons and learn all about the sea and the weather. Mr Spencer also took several lessons in repairing(维修) engines and Mrs Spencer spent an hour in a restaurant learning to cut up fish.
In October they had one year off from their jobs and sailed away from England with their two children. The next year, in August, their long journey ended in Australia.
The boat was not big, but they took a teacher for the children with them. None of them found the trip boring because there were three computers, many CDs, a TV and a DVD player on the boat,
The family loved being at sea and seeing the stars in the sky. But, most of all, Mr and Mrs Spencer enjoyed playing with their children while they were still young.

People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in anther. In Britain, you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid food(液体食物). But it's different in China. And in Japan you even needn't worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia(蒙古), what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud " burp"(打嗝) after you finish eating. Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you're having a meal. In Mexico,however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab(阿拉伯) countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn't eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners to eat with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the local people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
