Plan sensibly(合理地) : Write down what you expect to spend on food and hotels. keep your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go: Need more money for your trip? Look for a job in the places you visit.
Choose places: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less—known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember to take medicine and some food with you because you may be sick or you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
Use the Internet or travel books: No matter where you go, study the places you will visit first. Decide what to see. The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. travelocity.com, www.bargains-lowestfare.com and www.economy-travel.com. Travel books will give you the information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.

During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However（但是）, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially（尤其是）when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident（交通事故）on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9am to 4 pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.
