3, before my trip actually started, I met a kind, old Nigerian man. He gave me the best travel4 I ever received: "Be like a student on your way around the world."

It sounds5, but it really changed my mind about travelling. He helped me6 that travel is about learning and observing different7. "It's far too easy to go into a new country for you and believe your ways are better. But if you study, ask questions, and try to learn from the locals, you'll have far richer8, " he promised me.

On other trips9 I was on my tour way to Cancun, I didn't know the man so I was just a10. I only stayed there for a week to see the sights and places of interest and then left. The culture didn't11 me. I left the cities and towns without really knowing anyone or anything. Those people and things12 in those very places to which I had13 a visit.

This time, I promised myself that I would be a14 student traveller. After seven months of15 travelling from Cape Town to Cairo, I returned home. Having a student-like attitude helped me learn a lot. This trip satisfied me more than any other trip ever did to me.

Analyzing primary school test scores for five-and seven-year-olds, the researchers used a representative sample of nearly 5,000 mother-father households in England. According to the research, dads who regularly drew, played and read with their three-year-olds helped their children do better at school by age five. Dads being involved at age five also helped improve scores in seven-year-olds' Key Stage Assessments.

Dr Helen Norman, who led the research, said, "Mothers still tend to assume the primary carer role and therefore tend to do the most childcare, but if fathers actively engage in childcare too, it significantly increases the likelihood of children getting better grades in primary school. This is why encouraging and supporting fathers in sharing childcare with the mother, from an early stage in the child's life, is critical. "

Dads' involvement impacted positively on their children's school achievement regardless of the child's gender, ethnicity, age in the school year and household income, according to the research. There were different effects when moms and dads took part in the same activities - the data showed that moms had more of an impact on young children's emotional and social behaviors than educational achievement.

The researchers recommend that dads spare as much time as they can to engage in interactive activities with their children each week. For busy, working dads, even just ten minutes a day could potentially have educational benefits. They also recommend that schools and early years education providers routinely take both parents' contact details and develop strategies to engage fathers and keep a record of father-engagement.

Dr Jeremy Davies, who co-authored the report, said, "Our analysis has shown that fathers have an important, direct impact on their children's learning. We should be recognizing this and actively finding ways to support dads in playing their part, rather than engaging only with mothers, or taking a gender-neutral approach. "

Finished in 2017 after four years of planning and building, the House of Music of Pieve di Cento is located in the former Lamborghini (a famous Italian car company) production area that had been changed into a park. The recently completed building gets an advantage from a cycling path that connects the House of Music to the town center and beyond to an area to the south. There is also a wooden bench running around the building and creating resting places facing the park.

To prevent heat, cold, or noise from passing through the building, Mario Cucinella Architects used a special design for the House of Music. The flat roofs are topped with a series of curved and raised disks (圆盘) that help make unwanted sunlight change its direction and are engineered to bring more natural air into the building. The energy efficient design was influenced by the architects' study of the site.

The nine music rooms open up to a central outdoor space that serves as a meeting area. The architects noted, "The House of Music's outside lighting makes it a comforting place that encourages people to continue to do musical activities after the earthquake that shook the area in 2012."

It started to rain and I didn't know what to do. She was fighting to stay aware but her skin was pale and her eyes were acting strangely. Suddenly, from nowhere, a woman on a bicycle appeared. wearing a raincoat." She isn't looking good. Do you want me to call an ambulance(救护车)?""Yes, please,yes!"I begged.

She did. Struggling with the rain, she managed to call some policemen, who quickly helped me carry my sister to a safer place. The ambulance arrived and we went to a hospital where she was treated in time and she came to life the next morning after some rest and medical help.

An interesting fact was that I guessed the woman in the raincoat was a doctor or a nurse. I later learned from one of the police officers who told me: "No.She was an ordinary person who took some courses on emergency situations(紧急情况)."

I am so grateful that she appeared exactly at the moment I don't know why or how .I didn't even get the chance to say thanks to her.
