When you are travelling， whether on business or for pleasure， you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services， where the prices are low， or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts， where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.

There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live， rather than just stay， in a hotel； the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However， most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.

In most hotels， there are two kinds of rooms： single rooms， for the use of one person， and double rooms， for the use of two people. In addition， in large hotels， there are also suites（套房）， which include two or more rooms connected together—perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

I live abroad so social media is key in my communication with friends yet many didn’t realize I was sick for months， I was struggling to connect and communicate with anyone on any level.

As I searched on the Internet trying to understand what was happening to me， websites gave me the answer—depression（抑郁癥）. I researched topics that came up in therapy（治療）and read others’articles about their experiences. I began to feel understood， less alone and more informed.

I set up a social media account choosing the name itreallyisok； I wanted to build on the quote I had seen over and over again online that had brought me so much comfort： It’s OK to not be OK. It took me a long time to accept this but doing so really helped with my recovery（恢復(fù)）.Writing and sharing really helped me process what I was going through； and receiving other people’s support was hugely beneficial to me as well.

The highlight of my social media experience， however， was coming into contact with someone on the other side of the world who supported me through a three-week crisis. During a particularly difficult stage of my recovery， my therapist suddenly went off sick. I was struggling to talk to anyone close to me at the time. Hesitantly， I got in touch with a psychotherapist who had regularly shared posts that I’d connected with. This stranger helped me so much and her response， when I asked her why， blew me away. Through her I learnt that we might not be able to change the world at one blow but we can change the world of one person at a time.

As you can see， the Internet and social media have been hugely beneficial in helping me get through a diffi-cult journey. Despite many of the warnings， I can highly recommend it as a way to keep in touch with those you can relate to. As with anything though， connect with caution（謹(jǐn)慎）.

With increasing exposure to information through technology， our students are becoming less active and do not develop relationships with self， others and the environment. Outdoor Education does not only promote physical development in students but it also focuses on each of their personal， social and self-awareness development.

That is what the Outdoor Education Programme（OEP）at Marymount Convent School aims to do.

Working hard to reach the end of the hike taught her the value of resilience（適應(yīng)力）even if others can go farther or faster. It is not about a race； it is about completing and enjoying a journey.

Their parents also observed clear Improvements in their children’s self-management and responsibility.“My parents praised me for my positive change in character and of course， I had burnt a good amount of calories！”says Mithra laughingly. Sofia-Jane adds：“Days after I returned from the camp， my mom said that I became more independent， cleaning up after my meals and doing my homework without being reminded.”
