Homeworks always become a big problem for students. In addition to this, required classes are usually boring for them, too. Many students are against compulsory attendance and homework but I think this rules should be for efficient and permanent education. If they do not force to study, they do not do. Therefore students always should force to study for efficient education. Additionally the students can’t find this conditions for improve themselves.<br />
<br />
First of all, the classes are much more important for education. The students cannot study well except for this disciplined ambient. The class ambient is convenient for education, because everyone is here for education and all of them are ready to learn something. Also teachers are ready to teach something. Besides, students can give more information from their friends and they can study a lot together in class.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, homeworks are the most important work for students to improve their skills. They can attend the class and they can obtain some knowledge about the issue but if they do not do their homeworks, they will not consolidate this knowledge, so they will not be permanent. Also the home works are compelling things for students, which obligate them to study.<br />
<br />
All things considered, we can see that the students need to force to study for keeping the information in mind. The rules are also important to obligate them. Therefore if we want to educate the students, the rules and the obligations should not be abolished.<br />

<span style="color: red;">Package Holidays</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
More and more travel agencies offer package holidays, which include many services at a reasonable price. Package holidays are becoming popular with families, newlywed couples and pensioners. In spite of having multitude of advantages, package holidays also have some drawbacks.<br />
<br />
The good thing about package holidays is you will know with a reasonable degree of certainty what the total cost of the holiday will be. Your flights, accomadation, meals and entertainment are included in the price. Another thing is that many packages offer facilities such as swimming, pool, restaurants, bars, children's clubs and activities such as cycling or tennis, so you will not get bored during your vacation. What is more there are now a large number of tour operators offering tours to almost every corner of the world. You can spend your holidays in the Maldives, Egypt, Europe or the Far East.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-y57msYMJxNCHWGpN1f42g7PRx4I5wiANbc0pHQ3nYGYpGgDprG76NmNhZ6RFUhMFnPfN7_ZZ-UE8vVS7J3Q20Sj9xJTNpUSnmaEtvS46S7hjYfOo2twnZzcizGL-HcNxiNSSyUT3NUB/s1600/Package_Holidays.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-y57msYMJxNCHWGpN1f42g7PRx4I5wiANbc0pHQ3nYGYpGgDprG76NmNhZ6RFUhMFnPfN7_ZZ-UE8vVS7J3Q20Sj9xJTNpUSnmaEtvS46S7hjYfOo2twnZzcizGL-HcNxiNSSyUT3NUB/s320/Package_Holidays.jpg" height="117" width="320" /></a><br />
Package holidays have many advantages, but there are a number of disadvantages, too. To start with, you basically spend most of your time in the resort complex, so some of the more appealing touriest locations might go unvisited. It also means that you are stuck with whatever the hotel offers, which might e very good or might not be so good. However, the worst thing that might happen when you choose package holidays is that you can be cheated by the travel agency. After you get to the destruction country, it may appear that your accomodation has not been paid or the hotel is below standard.<br />
<br />
On balance, it seems that package holidays have both advantages and disadvantages. They offer a comfortable and carefree way to spend your vacation, but they also have some drawbacks that people often tend to forget about.<br />

Many children today have to spend hours every evening doing homework. Some people seem to believe this will help the children in their academic career. Others feel that homework is mostly useless. There are both positive and negative aspects to homework.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are several advantages to homework. First of all, students need some practice of the new material learned at school. They need to sit quietly at home and find out how well they understood the new information and ideas. Secondly, homework help the teacher to know what the students have or have not learned. The teacher can then change the next lesson to match. A third point is that homework can involve parents in the education of the child. Family members can encourage the child and see his or her progress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, too often there are negative aspects to homework. Many teachers give too much homework, and, often teachers do not coordinate the quantity given. The children do not have free time to relax or plays sports. A further point is that unnecessary assignments raise the stress level of the student. This can actually lower productivity and performance, instead of raising it. The main argument against homework is that most of it is just boring practice. The students learn nothing new - the teachers just give homework because they are expected to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In conclusion, the need to give homework must be considered carefully. It can be helpful in certain circunstances, but inappropriate types and amounts of homework may do more harm than good. In my opinion, finding the balance the between free time and homework will lead to a happy and successful school experience for our children.</div>

Transitioning to university life and academics can be challenging for many students with disabilities. Until the time of their college years, they usually go to work where their family lives, and can receive support from close family members and friends. However, with the onset specials needs. In fact, with support from the disability services centers at many colleges these individuals can succeed. A broad range of services can be offered, but a good but fairly basic menu of services can make the lives of those students much easier and increase their success at school. These services include accessibility, course support and testing support.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
Accesibility means more than accessible furniture or classroom, or easy navigation in college campus when the student has to go from one class to the next or from a school building tı his dorm. Accesibility includes access to library to the course material, and to the course syllabus. Electronic access to the library material is a must. The student must have the text book, course material or the books on the reading list. These might be in digital format, which a machine or computer program then reads to the student. Another alternative might be recording the course material on tape, which the student can listen to in his own time. Large-print handouts and zoom-in computer programs for the visually impaired, sigh-language lectures for the hearing disabled, first-floor roomy classrooms for the students who are in wheelchairs are some other services that increase accessibility.<br />
<br />
Support services complement accessibility services where the students further need assistance. Tutoring centers where professional or peer tutors help the students to study and revise course content and complete assignments, learning support centers where the student can receive further counseling and psychological help are an essential part of such services. Students with learning disabilities can benefit from instruction and training on how to cope with concentration difficulties or mood swings.<br />
<br />
Finally, students with various disabilities also need specials test taking arrangements. Depending on the type of the disability they have, they may need a special classroom where they can roll in their wheelchair, a quiet environment free of distraction, and/or extended testing time. Exams should be given in a format that they can read and process, e.g. enlarged font, or recorded format. It would also be necessary to provide help in recording their answers to exam questions if the students themselves cannot do that. Some students may also need alterations in the exam content or course requirements, which are the responsibility of the course instructor.<br />
<br />
Universities may be not be so eager to implement these support and accomadation services, this reluctance stemming from lack of funding or priority of other institutional concerns. However, starting with the most basic services to facilitate access, and then moving on to other support services, making alterations where possible will definitely make fundamental changes in the quality of life of the disabled students.<br />

<br />
Day by day technological tools are improved and they are used in education. The contribution of technological tools to education can not be ignored. Many people believed that technological tools were harmful until today. Indeed if they are used correctly, there will be a great number of contribution to education. Oodles of countries have been using these tools in order to realized that they are beneficial for education.<br />
<br />
Technological tools and materials are used in our country. For example, smart boards, projectors and tablet computers.These types of tools contribute for better understanding with examples and consolidate the subject. they also help teachers for easier teaching to students. Thus, education become more informative and efficient than normal education.<br />
<br />
The contribution of technological tools to education are not only limited to these examples. In our country there are too few houses which have not a computer and an internet connection. The internet do not only involve lots of things that are harmful for students but also involve so many educational content. Students can find so many useful things such as lecturing, quizzes, exam questions, training videos. They can improve themselves with use these useful contents.<br />
<br />
To sum up, all technological things can contribute to education if people know how the technology is used. Therefore people should be taught about technology because if they really don’t know how technology is used, this condition would be very harmful for everyone.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We can scarcely turn our television or pick up a newspaper these days without being confronted with yet another depressing news item about the environment. As the population of many cities increases, more and more land is being converted from its natural state to accommodate homes and factories. The direct result of this is the systematic destruction of different ecosystems all over the world which, in turn, has led to seas becoming polluted with poisons, rivers becoming contaminated by pesticides and the air becoming polluted with fumes from cehicles and industry. While the problems of pollution and habitual destruction are obvious, the solutions are difficult to find. However serious attempts to halt the destruction of ecosystems must be made immediately.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, instead of expecting governments to provide all the solutions, citizens should take some initiative. They must begin to recycle goods and packaing whenever possible, as well as buy only environmentally friendly products. By doing this, we can reduce the amount of non-biodegradable waste being dumped at rubbish tips, thus ensuring that materials such as glass, and plastic are not left in earth which could be used as farmland in the future. In addition domestic food scraps should be recycled; for examples, potato peelings and melon rinds can be turned into substances that enrich the soil. Furthermore, individuals can help protect the earth by using public transport whenever possible. Where such facilities do not exist, sharinf lifts is recommended to reduce traffic congestion, noise and vehicle emission on the roads. The less petrol our societies burn, the better the air quality will be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Secondly, governments should take the necessary measures to protect the environment. One possible measure to combat industrial pollution would be imposing strict fines on corporations and businesses which contaminate land, air or water. To be effective, the fines should be heavy enough to deter potential polluters; if they are too small, they could simply be regarded by industries as "the cost of doing business" and they might be ignored. Governments should also allocate funds for research to develop solar, wind, geothermal and tidal energy and discover new ways to produce energy. If this were to happen, the consequence would be that depletion of finite resources such as oil and coal would be slowed down, or even stopped altogether, and rates of pollution would decrease.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To sum up, the earth is suffering as a result of the destruction wreaked upon it by humanity. As Paul Claudel once sail, "Nature is only an immense ruin." Clearly, both individuals and authorities need to become more aware of the consequences of their actions and should act more responsibly. Only if people do so will the Earth be saved from further destruction and the world become a healthier, safer place to live in.</div>

Marijuana is one of the most widely known illicit drugs. It is made from the plant Cannabis sativa and usually smoked as a cigarette (joint, nail), or in a pipe (bond). It can also mixed with food or drinks. In the street, it is called pot, herb, weed, grass, and many other names. Because of THC, the chemical in it, marijuana gives the user a "high" as soon as it is taken. Although it apparently gives pleasure to the user, it is actually very harmful, with severe effects to the brain and lungs, as well as to learning ability.<br />
<br />
The effects of marijuana on the brain are very serious. As soon as marijuana is taken, THC passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which crries it to organs throughout the body, including the brain. In the brain, THC connects to nerve cells that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement, and influences the activity of those cells negatively. The short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, loss of coordination, and increased heart rate. (Causal chain with examples)<br />
<br />
A study has found that marijuana users have more health problems than somers, mostly due to problems with lungs. The least serious but still annoying problem marijuana causes is burning and stinging sensations in the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. People who use marijuana rarely might experience these. For regular smokers, the problems are similar to those experienced by tobacco smokers. They have daily cough and phlegm production, and more frequent acute chest illness. The risk of lung infection is also higher. At its worst, marijuana may cause cancer of the lungs, because it contains irritants and carcinogens.<br />
<br />
In addition to physical problems, marijuana impairs learning ability. Because it affects the part of the brain responsible for learning and remembering information, regular users fall behing in their studies. Moreover, its effects last long after the drug is used. Abusers also have problems with attention. They cannot concentrate for long, and have trouble shifting their attention, as well as understanding and organizing information. Finally, an indirect effect on learning emerges due to deteriorating student attitude. Marijuana abusers are late to class or absent from class more often, and are not mentally in class even if they are physically there.<br />
<br />
To sum up, marijuana is a very harmful drug that causes problems with the brain, lungs and learning ability. Unfortunately, it is also addictive. Long-term use leads to mmore and more serious problems, so young people should be careful choosing friends and avoid contact with circles where marijuana is used.<br />

Music is one of the few activities that involves using whole brain. It is intrinsic to all cultures and can have surprising benefits. Some music can calm us down and it has been used in the medical field as a source of therapy. Of course, music can be distracting if it's too loud, or if it competes for our attention with what we're trying to do. But for the most part, exposure to many kinds of music has beneficial effects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, choosing music that motivates you will make it easier to start moving, walking, dancing, or any type of exercise that you enjoy. Music can make exercise feel more like recreation and less like work. Furthermore, music enhances athletic performance. Anyone who has ever gone on a long run with their iPod or taken a particularly energetic aerobics class knows that music can make the time pass more quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as music can energize you, it can also soothe you. Relaxing music reduces sympathetic nervous system activity, decreases anxiety, blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate and may have positive effects on sleep via muschle relaxation and distraction from thoughts. Relaxing classical music is safe, cheap and easy way to beat insomnia. Many people who suffer from insomnia find that Bach music helps them. Researchers have shown that just 45 minutes of relaxing music before bedtime can make for a restful night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another effect of music is on the memory. Mozart's music and baroque music, with a 60 beats per minute beat pattern, activities the left and right brain. The simultaneous left and right brain action maximizes learning and retention of information. The information being studied activates the left brain while the music activates the right brain. Also, activities which engage both sides of the brain at the same time, such as playing an instrument or singing, cause the brain to be more capable of processing information.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, music can improve the quality of life. Listening to music motivates people during physical activity, soothes and relaxes people and facilitates the recall of information. It can be said that music is a very powerful tool that can have positive effects mentally and physically when used in the right context.</div>

<span style="color: red;">Causes of Anorexia</span></h2>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj66CehIYz0Lvsx7E6zA5jELtNPDRVrQQQlP-fPz7HQU-DpKupe9YGcYFGMYmCB65ecx8Z-l5OtR1eg3oy2zzkblvMPAZcXQWs506KyG645Xc9gVkCN_-Z07CdZGTEoQP-oDKjF7t0PYbMX/s1600/illnesses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj66CehIYz0Lvsx7E6zA5jELtNPDRVrQQQlP-fPz7HQU-DpKupe9YGcYFGMYmCB65ecx8Z-l5OtR1eg3oy2zzkblvMPAZcXQWs506KyG645Xc9gVkCN_-Z07CdZGTEoQP-oDKjF7t0PYbMX/s1600/illnesses.jpg" /></a></div>

Anorexia nervosa is characteried by an irrational fear of becoming fat coupled with an obsession with thinness. People with anorexia go to extremes to reach and maintain a dangerously low body weight. But no matter how thin they become, it's never enough. The more weight is lost, the more obsessed they become with food, dieting, and weight loss. What sets someon on a course toward self-starvation? It's easy to blame a culture that equates slenderness with beauty and success, and portrays stick-thin women as the physical ideal, but eating disorders have been around for centuries. Although our culture's idealization of thinness plays a powerful role in the development of anorexia, there are other contrubuting factors, including genetics, individual personality traits, and social and family pressures.<br />
<br />
Research suggests that a genetic predisposition to anorexia may run in families. If a girl has a sibling with anorexia, she is 10 to 20 times more likely than the general population to develop anorexia herself. Brain chemistry also appears to play a significant role. People with anorexia tend to have high levels of cortisol, the brain hormone most related to stress, and decreased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, which are associated with feelings of well-being.<br />
<br />
When we look at the personality traits of anorexics, we observe that people with anorexia are often perfectionists and overachievers. They're the "good" daughters and sons who do what they're told, excel in everything they do, and focus on pleasing others. But while anorexics may appear to have it all together on the surface, inside they feel helpless, inadequate, and worthless. They view themselves through a harshly critical lens. If they're not perfect, they're a total failure.<br />
<br />
In addition to the genetic factors and personality traits, there are family and social pressures that can contribute to anorexia. This includes participation in an activity that demands slenderness, such as ballet, gymnastics, or modeling. It also includes having parents who are overly controlling, put a lot of emphasis on looks, diet themselves, or criticize their children's bodies and appearance. Stressful life events-such as the onset of puberty, a breakup, or going away to school-can also trigger anorexia.<br />
<br />
To sum up, for genetic, personality or social reasons, people with anorexia never think that they are too thin. Despite being dangerously underweight, anorexics see a fat person when they look in the mirror. What they do not see is the tremendous physical and emotional damage that self-starvation inflicts, so they continue to diet, fast, purge and over-exercise.<br />

<span style="color: red;">Causes of Failure at School</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOT9Z2YCBpmP3XziJbaaCEy_jtHxpqG6gg324b0MRqVTx3Bl5tmrz6aCYil71YW4zScWWrfUskBehkHlDJtlJvLnrwXSu4tjMoznsfqn-g2fMAp1NYddxXv9TI74Mplie3Yd3RBk7BJGM/s1600/failstudent.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOT9Z2YCBpmP3XziJbaaCEy_jtHxpqG6gg324b0MRqVTx3Bl5tmrz6aCYil71YW4zScWWrfUskBehkHlDJtlJvLnrwXSu4tjMoznsfqn-g2fMAp1NYddxXv9TI74Mplie3Yd3RBk7BJGM/s320/failstudent.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"You cannot watch TV now; you have to finissh your schoolwork first!" "If you do not study now, you will fail your Math test." Sound familiar? Every year, countless children hear similar comments from their parents and teachers, who are trying to help them to be succesful. Still, many students fail. As education prepares young people for life, it might be a good idea to consider the causes of failure at school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One reason for failure at school is parents' attitudes. Some parents are overambitious. They push their kids to limit, which causes students to hate schoolwork and give it up altogether as a reaction. There are, on the other hand, parents who are indifferent to school. They might for some reason consider education unnecessary and either directly or indirectly discourage their kids from studying. It is also a problem when parents do not set a good example for their kids. Many will tell their kids to study and read, but they will not read much themselves. As human babies learn most by imitating, children from such families may adopt poor studying habits and fail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another reason why students fail is their own attitudes. All people prefer to take it easy whenever they can. Success, however, comes with hard and steady work. Students who opt for "all fun and no work" will definitely fail. Some students, on the other hand, might be slow learners and find it hard to catch up with schoolwork while their classmates are speeding on. This usually causes them to lose courage and interest, which ends up in failure. Some other students might have good intentions and be clever as well, but they might lack discipline. Students who cannot create a schedule that includes both work and leisure and then follow that schedule are also likely to fail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, the educational system itself may cause some students to fail. Our present system is based on having many students of different ability in the same classroom. As the curriculum targets the average-ability student, weaker students cannot succeed. Moreover, the students in a class have different interest. The core material that needs to be covered may be very uninteresting for some students, which demotivates them and causes them to fail. Another problem is that the system based on learning through memorization rather than research. Teachers and books provide the required information and students are expected to memorize it. This passive role in the learning process also demotivates students.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To sum up, factors such as parent and student attitudes, as well as the system itself, cause some students to fail at school. Obviously, the encouraging and threating efforts of parents and teachers are not working. A more rational, up-to-date and motivating system should be developed for the sake of not only the students, but also of our future.</div>

The younger generation plays an extremely important role in each society because societies only exist through their children or adolescents. Societies should neglect their younger generation as the youngsters are quite impressionable and can be adversely influenced. With the advance of tehnology and computers video games become the youngsters' favourite pastime. Consequently, the question whether video games are harmful for the children or not arises. Due to the popularity of video games, this issue has become a highly debated issue. Some people believe that video games should be restricted as it is quite addictive and turns the younger generation into antisocial human beings.<br />
<br />
First, it has been argue that video games are beneficial since they develop children's abilities and knowledge in different field such as business or even engineering. Most games, so this argument goes, even improve children's imagination as well as their mathematical skills. However, these games make children incapable of functioning in the real world because most children spend all their free time in an imaginary world. In fact, their skills diminish and, as a result, youngster become lazier. Moreover, these video games are quite dangerous as they feature characters with magical abilities whom the children identify with. Therefore, these naive, impressionable youngsters believe that they are endowed with supernatural abilities, which can lead to fatal accidents.<br />
<br />
It has also been claimed that video game are only an in offensive free time activity. As the youngster play these games only in their spare time, there is nothing wrong about them. Although video games are seen as an innocent, harmless, entertaining free time activity, most of these games can easily turn our children into addicts. Furthermore, video games are not the only free time activity children can engage in. There are other beneficial activities such as reading and sports.<br />
<br />
Moreover, it has been stated that computer are effective machines to entertain children while homemakers are doing their chores. Nevertheless, this is one of the worst forms of entertainment since it may result in isolation from friends and family, and eventually loneliness. Instead of spending hours in fron of a computer, children would benefit a lot more by interacting with their peers. As the recent studies suggest, children become more active and communicative when they interact with their peers.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, playing video games should be restricted. Although it is maintained that they are benefcial in some ways, it is a well-known fact that our children become lazier, inactive, antisocial and lonely human beings and addicts. We should not forget that developed societies have achieved their prosperity by raising their children in good conditions, not by neglecting their behavioural development.<br />

<br />
Travelling is a popular pastime all over the world. There are several options for travellers. Some prefer to go on a guided tour while some to like to travel by themselves. Many people prefer to go with a group led by a tour guide when they travel although travelling by yourself is also adventageous.<br />
<br />
First of all, if people travel in a group with a tour guide, they do not have to worry about arranging the trip. They just need to look for a travel agency which is going to a place they like, and they let the tour guide take care of the rest. The tour guide makes the hotel reservations and chooses the restaurants and plans the activities for each day. They do not have to worry about anything because the guide does everything for them.<br />
<br />
If travellers go on a guided tour, they needn't figure out which places to visit. The tour guide knows which are the best museums. The tour guide knows where the good beaches are and which stores have the best prices. The travellers might make the wrong choices as they have no idea bout the place they are visiting. With a tour guide, they gurantee the best possible experience on their trip.<br />
<br />
Moreover, travellers do not have worry about knowing the local language and customs as the tour guide knows the language and can speak for the group when necessary. The tour guide also knows when the local holidays are, or how to dress appropriately for each situation. In short, the poeple in the tour do not have to worry about confusions with the language or customs because the tour guide can help them.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the opponents may argue that travelling by yourself has its own benefits. Initially, when you go to a place with a guided tour, you are not as free as when you travel by yourself. You have to stick to the predetermined schedule and cannot do whatever you feel like doing. For some people, it is an adventure and it is fun to explore a new place by yourself and you cannot do this with tour guide. However, people want to relax when they go on vacation. They do not want to worry about the necessary arrangements. A tour guide can take care of all these things for you, and you can have a good time.<br />
<br />
As seen, travelling with a tour guide is much better than travelling by yourself as the tour guide makes all the necessary arrangements for the trip. The tour guide knows the best places to visit s/he is familiar with the local language and customs. The only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy yourself when you travel with a tour guide.<br />
