Dear Tom,
How are you getting on? I don’t think this a good idea to travel a lot and visit as many places possible. Last July Bell pay a visit to Europe. Europe is very beautiful, but his holiday wasn’t very nicely. He visited several country, and was in each of the countries for only three days. He visited a great many of places of interest, and was always in a hurry. When he returned from Europe, he was very tiring. So I suggest you spent your holiday in a different way. You’d better travelled with a friend to one country and visit only one city, that will do good to your body and mind.

A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. 1.
●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes.2. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
●Always carry a book. 3.When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
●4.Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There shouldn’t be a television or a computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/ roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
●Reduce television/ the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. 5.Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet/ TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
