2. Would you like to go with your friends or parents?

3. How do you prepare yourself for a picnic?

I would take extra clothes, towels, blankets, sweaters, soap and toothpaste etc. with me. I would also take my camera, binoculars, notebook and pen. I would put on my shoes and cap. I would also take some snacks with me.

4. Why do we arrange educational trip in schools?

Educational trips help us to know a lot about other people, their places and their customs. We visit important tourist spots. We learn the historical background of those places. We are happy and thrilled to see strange people and their places.
