During my childhood, my summers had always been a special time. I spent hours riding my bike, playing basketball and swimming. I sat on the porch(门廊) and talked to my mom while she tended her flowers. I took pride in helping my dad pull firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food prepared with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet laughter. Now I found myself missing them more than ever.
Finally when I was in my lowest spirits, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and was delighted and surprised to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my hungry heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating, catching up, and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The true happiness of life is the belief that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, love despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and everyday of my life. It was their love that gave me a taste of the true love. May you always know that you are loved, and may you always share your happiness with the world.

Every day thousands of people travel across the world for different reasons. Whenever I’ve checked in for a flight, I’ve seen many travelers saying, “I missed it”, “I forgot it”, etc. This happens because while packing our bags, we miss so many important things.
The baggage packing isn’t a big job but many people see it as a messy job. I’ll advise you to always pack your bags according to your trip. The baggage should be different according to the duration(持续时间) of your trip. You shouldn’t carry unnecessary things or more than what you need.
If you’re going on a business trip of not more than 2-3 days, then make sure you don’t carry more than a single bag. Pack 2-3 business suits, a night suit and also some casual clothes(便服). You’ll need casual clothes because you might get a chance to explore the place.
While on holidays of 5-6 days, you have to be very smart while packing your bag. First of all, check the climate of the place. If it’s summer, then carry lightweight clothes and if it’s winter, then you have to pack a sweater. For holidays, pack all the small things you’ll be requiring. But don’t carry too many things.
If you’re going to a relative’s place, then you can be a bit relaxed because if you miss something, you won’t have to worry as your relative will be there to help you. But don’t forget to buy gifts for your relatives. If the gifts are fragile, then pack them in a hard box and always keep them in between clothes. No need to carry too many
