Once upon a time, there was a writer who had a house very close to the sea. Every morning, he went for a walk along the beach — it helped him to relax, to get ready for his working day, sand to get ideas.

One beautiful sunny morning, as he was walking near the edge(边缘）)of the water, he looked along the beach and in the distance he saw a little girl near the water. She was bending down and then standing up — he wasn't sure what she was doing. So he decided to go closer to find out.

Because of COVID-19, it's impossible tor us to travel around the world freely. But we can find pleasure from some of the most unforgettable memories from our past journeys. We asked our club members to share some of their favorite photos with us. In these photos, you can see not only beautiful places, but also something essential(本质的)about the journey, the people and even the world itself.

Of the millions of photos we've taken, we both really like this one of us boating in Antarctica (南极洲). It's not the most beautiful photo we have taken, but for us it has everything we love----beautiful views, the unique (独特的) place, and adventure(冒险精神).

In February 2020, a magazine sent me to Afghanistan to write about how skiing has become so popular there. My photographer and I skied down into a tiny village, where we sat on a sunny rock and waited.Soon all of these kids started coming out of their houses with their own skis(滑雪板) and snowboards that they'd made out of plastic cooking oil bottles, and some other things. This photo reminds me that nothing can hold back the youthful desire(渴望) to create and make your own fun.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the smartphone,the computer, the TV, or her favorite toy,she said "the smartphone". Actually, a person who doesn't use a smartphone will be considered unusual. Smartphone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

Point 1  The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist would she have anything to talk about?

Point 2  The mobile phone means that we are never alone. "The mobile saved my life," says Ms. Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车).

Point 3  The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager, Robert, to ring his sales staff all around the world at anytime of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.

Point 4 The telephone separates us.Antonella says, "We worked in separate offices but I could see my staff Bill through the window. It was easy for us to discuss work on the phone. We were so near, but we didn't meet for nearly two weeks."

Point 5  The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives.Today we can talk to several complete strangers on chat lines at the same time. We can talk across the world.
