WELCOME UNIT Unit 5 On the road Period 2　Understanding ideas 课时作业（二） 小精读 目录 CONTENTS 1 2 课时作业（二） Ⅰ　阅读 Sharon Holland and her husband, Jer, are travelling around the world and saving money at the same time by swapping (交换) houses with strangers to keep the bills low. They only have to pay for their flights, meaning they save hundreds of pounds on their holidays each year. The couple's occupation allows them to enjoy long periods of school holidays. Both work as school Deputy Principals, which allows them to take their children, Cian, 23, Miah, 13, and Faye, 11, abroad up to four times per year. On average, they pay ￡1，250 per year for flights. Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 Sharon, from Cork, Ireland, has exchanged her home with a stranger 40 times in the last 13 years and says she's never regret. She said, “I couldn't imagine travelling in any other way now.

Every holiday is different and staying in someone else's house makes our experience more rewarding and enjoyable. We are able to meet more locals and understand the culture more than we would if we were to stay at a hotel. We bring our laptops during the summer weeks as we are both responsible for timetabling and school planning but this can be done at a distance.” Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 Sharon has visited various cities in America, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, the UK and their home country of Ireland. “But our favourite place is Italy.

We have made some wonderful happy memories for less，” adds she. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sharon Holland (莎伦·霍兰德)和她的丈夫Jer (杰里)在环游世界时，通过与陌生人交换房子来节省开支。 Ⅰ Ⅱ 目录 1．Why do the couple travel by swapping houses with strangers?
