Writing exercise
If you like traveling, I’m going to recommend you a book called “Lonely Planet”. Actually it’s a magazine, because it is organised/separated in different series.
The book is like a travel guide of the world, it contains 220 countries and areas. You can see the brief introductions of the country, the basic informations of diets and traffic/transportation, also the famous tourist attractions/spots with pictures. It can help people know more about the place and is just like a guide.
It even helped us to travel virtually during the period of the virus/pandemic/epidemic.
Comparing with the information you get online, this book is more trustworthy and comprehensive.
As the book says: With the book, the world is in your hands.
