     All you need to participate in(参加) home exchange is a house! You don't need to compare values of
the houses or search for a swapping (交换) partner in the case of a home similar to yours. It just requires
identifying a home where you and your family can stay comfortably in the place you wish to visit. You
need to search for a person or a family with whom you would be comfortable exchanging your home
with, for a short period of time. In home exchange, you would be taking care of other people's home,as
well as enjoying the country while they would be doing the same from your home.
     People who have traveled a lot would know that the most expensive part of traveling is paying hotel
bills. In many cases, vacations cannot last for long mainly because of the high accommodation (住房)
expenses. Holiday home exchange is one of the most simple and intelligent ways to cut down an
accommodation expenses. It is an equal trade for both the families and enables both to enjoy the
advantages of a home while traveling to another country.
     Home exchanges have become very popular in major cities in the United Kingdom as it allows you to
benefit from time-share. Mostly, people participating in home exchanges prefer to involve their friends or
neighbors to entertain their visitors, by providing the home exchange visitors with information regarding
the local sightseeing attractions. Many families with children try to swap houses with families who have
children of the similar age group. It saves time and energy that are often wasted in carrying around a
number of toys and equipment. The individual (单个的) traveler often finds house swapping a great way
of relaxing in the comforts of a home after a tiring day of sightseeing and can spend more time to get to
know the area better.

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.

It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she
wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought.
We bought the latest rage, Baby Sitter's Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December
23rd, she said that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else." It was just too late, what with all the
details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts, to take the time to select the "right bike" for
our litter girl. So here we were Christmas Eve around 9 p.m., with Rose and her six-year-old brother, Dylan,
nestled snug in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. "What
if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade (互相交换) the clay model in for
a real bike?" Her dad asked. "This is an expensive item and she is 'such a big girl,' it would be much better for
her to pick it out." So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. On
Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little hear shaped package with the beautiful red and
white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. "Does this mean that I trade in this
bike that Daddy made me for a real one?" Beaming, I said, "Yes." Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied,
"I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I'd rather keep this than get a real bike." At
that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
