Some people have found that they always spend much more on travelling than planned.Here is how it happens:
1.Preparing too much before travelling
Some people,especially females,like to travel as if starting a new life.Several weeks before the trip,they would be busy shopping for new dresses,better sunglasses and best-selling books.They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things.Just travelling?Attending a fashion show more like it.They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.
2.Following other travelers blindly
They can’t stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use.For example,we can find a group of travelers “getting ahead” to buy “Christmas” presents even in summer.
3.Replacing things that are forgotten to bring
They don’t remember to bring things like trainers,cool bags,toothbrushes or beach towels.The towels sold near beaches are nearly the price of gold leaves.They spend a lot on those things.However,plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home.
阅读以上信息,用恰当的单词完成下面的短文,每空一词。
